How about: Bill Bailey Eddie Izzard Dylan Moran

That's the saturday fotr screening and sunday ttt screening, btw. And if you want to use the pictures, you'd better contact Ian first (I've never known him refuse permission if people ask, but he doesn't like people using his images without permission).

Since I've just been sent home from work, I'd say - possibly - and I didn't even hug him. Maybe it was the standing outside at 05:00 on Monday that did it

This idea, I think, is a good one, and should be considered. I know people who would be prepared to pay a small fee (maybe with a reduced autograph price) to guarantee a ticket, and doesn't discriminate against people physically unable to wait outside a shopping centre at 05:30

Anyone get sound clips of the tannoy annoucements the LOTR guys made? I heard Dom and Lij on the Monday, but I hear Andy Serkis did one too.

Ok, so you had permission, that's fair enough. Blatant lie? Sorry, but no. When I was at the Collectormania 3 screening there were a couple of girls who were sitting in the aisle, you did climb over them, and you did block the view. Perhaps the girls shouldn't have been in the aisle, but that's up to Collectormania to enforce that. As for liking you, I'm quite sure it doesn't bother you whether I do or not. I have read your reports and as someone else has said there is a lot of complaining. Personally, I'm a film fan in general as well as a LotR fan, and your comment "Why on earth would I want to be so sad as just watch something I know off by heart again and again and again? I'd rather watch something new!" just about shows up the contempt you obviously hold for people who do want to watch it. As to web traffic, yes thank you I'm well aware of how it works. I also know that allying a website to another that has a great deal of traffic brings in more users, and yes I am aware it costs more. But there's no such thing as free publicity is there? Or maybe there is... Um, if people were sitting in the aisle, breaking all kinds of health and safety rules. then I'm afraid they don't have any right to complain about being clambered over - what if there was some kind of emergency?

Hmm. I was just about to leap to Ians defence, but on second thoughts he's quite capable of looking after himself! Seconds out ..... Me too TFG

Can we get steve irwin and a nest of rattlers?

Thanks Showmasters, that they're coming at all is fantastic, and the addition of Hobbit Monday is great. Sorry to all those not able to make it, but we were warned from the start that they may not be able to make the Saturday and hopefully most people were able to work their plans around this. For those who couldn't, I hope you managed to get screening tickets or have managed to make contact with someone who is able to attend to pass on gifts, pick up autographs for you. I'm just glad I had enough annual leave left to be able to take the Monday off work.
