Including signings (which take just as much effort and travel) the longest I go these days is probably three months, over the winter period.

Whilst I obviously can't say its light this year, as a Who fan there aren't actually that many I want (can afford) to meet who I've not met before. And considering its ran as long as Game of Thrones, new Battlestar and Star Wars have together, I don't think its that over represented.

Well there's the Doctor Who Autograph Collectors Club group on there, those are the examples I saw on the 26th

But Peter is no stranger to events of this scale overseas, and seeing what people got signed recently via Facebook, we can see he likes to do lengthy (half page) quotes or drawings and dedications. So it might depend if Peter is able to sign what he wants to for each person.

He's pretty dismissive of his Doctor Who role according to friends who met him recently.

Jeff used to be a regular at large shows as his company had their own stall, but that was before he took the show on tour again.

no talk?

according to http://star-wars-canon.wikia.com/wiki/Simon_Henderson yeah. Thanks for asking though; that sort of info could be the difference between me attending or not! Got two other things on next month, not sure I want three trips. Hmm.....

I got two Donna Noble publicity cards signed by Catherine through the post whilst she was on the show, one dedicated other not. I have to admit I've not been on this forum since Saturday, I hadn't heard it wasn't Ford. I'm not sure if that's a slight disappointment or huge relief. I'll sleep easier regardless.

Not the Clue Master. His assistant Martin Freeman perhaps.

Natalie Portman? Even if it were Mr Ford, it wouldn't quite complete my Star Wars collection, as there'd be Mr Oz, but I'd probably retire it. I wouldn't be able to afford anymore.

Unless they squeeze too many photo sessions in I wouldn't be that worried about getting a good VT number for Peter, he's there two days and the price will deter some. Wouldn't surprise me if he even ended up open queue.

I went for the first time today, as the dates lined up with something else I had on. Much quieter than I had magined, with far less stalls than I anticipated. I got an early train for nothing. Still if they'd actually announced Patrick and Martyn had been in Doctor Who too on the website, I'd have spent twice as much. I sometimes think Showmasters don't want all my money.

Good announcement, but I think you're getting a bit lazy with the tagging of all these Star Wars guests, just labelling Star Wars isn't enough. He's in Rogue One.

There's actually more posts about LFCC 2018 than there are for Cardiff, Exeter and Newcastle - the three in the next month - combined. This was post 300.

I do find it amusing when people take it on themselves to talk for entire fandoms. Mark is no stranger to events. As brilliant as a guest he would be, it wouldn't settle this fan.

Yeah I don't see much point in spending too much money on a room I'll hardly see, on a bed I'll spend a few hours on. Queuing early means I usually miss the breakfast too. I don't mind hostels either, but 1-2 night stays in a hostel means you don't get the most out of them really, longer stays can be more fun. I did forget to book a hotel the night after an event once, so spent the night around Waterloo. Which was an interesting experience. Got some amazing photos too. .

Of course it really comes down to those who have money spend it, those who don't shouldn't. I'm comfortable with about 2 weeks wages on a bigger event. It would take me 4 months to earn some of the totals above.

David was open queue by the time I went to him later yesterday. He used to sign his surname rather than just M, but he was adding his character most of the time. So he saved 8 letters and in my case added 10! But the biggest difference is he wasn't a diamond guest. in some cases that added 200 people in front of the VQ

One guest did actually say to someone in front of me it was their contract they were not allowed to do posed photos as they had a paid photo shoot.

Less than previous years, my heart isn't in it quite so much as it used to be,. I did have a low VQ ticket for Terrance Stamp and thought about getting my Episode 1 Annual signed - but I figured it hasn't got Portman, Neeson, McGreggor, Jackson, I could live with out Stamp. Also had two items for David Morrissey and just got one (I already had bits signed via a theatre, and didn't bother with another Mark Shepherd item which I had with me. So that saved me £110, which is enough of a saving for me to notice.

Also , in what I think was the Cumberbatch queue (I can't be 100% certain so much zapping about) I certainly saw people ask for two tickets and get two tickets.

So she's able to hang around after all.

Surely it would be easier if golds just came in the same entrance, went through the same bag checks and had the first isle in the holding pen reserved for them. Then Isle 1 would have to be cleared before isle 2 with the rest of us commoners could go in.

I hope everyone in this thread got what they were after. What was posted in the locked 'incredibly unfair for VQ ticket holders' thread wasn't quite true - he was signing up to VQ 200 up till 3pm, I was queuing from 1:45 and just scraped through - maybe 20 after me - before he went away for his break. It looked like it was only after that they had to rethink things as it sounded like a number of diamonds hadn't been yet. The people running his enclosure were brilliant, but the signage left a bit to be desired. Obviously I went past several times during the day - without being on top of it, it looked like it said diamonds 1-100, diamonds 1-200, but it at least later it was diamonds and VQ 1-200. So that important VQ was very easy to miss, I could have queued earlier. We need bigger signs.
