With three companions next year, it would be a great time to gather David Tennant, Catherine Tate, Billie Piper & Freema Agyeman under one roof.
Supposedly their contracts prevent them doing conventions and the like, but HMV did get David and Freema in this month for a few hours.
John Barrowman did LF&CC last year. He seems to be rather busy of late though!
-
Haha. This should be fun...
I'm looking at attending about 9 events next year. Just two Showmasters (LF&CC, depending on guests), and maybe B7.

EXETER !!! EXETER!! EXETER!!!
Only a 15 minute drive instead of at least four hours!! It's not quite in the corner ... plus we have train routes, Bus Routes ..even an airport!! It's not all tractors and bleak looking Moorland! Plus there are more people than sheep y'know .... heh heh ... I am sure it would be a good turn out!

Westpoint is probably the only venue large enough to hold such an event in Exeter. It would be nice to go to an event that wasn't 3 hours each way minimum.

It's Coventry, 1st and 2nd March (which is the weekend before GMex4 according to my source
)Darn, can't make those dates due to a Dr Who convention that weekend.

Oh yes. I can honestly say I don't fit the mould at all, so love doing a poker faced 'I'm an Essex girl and I don't find that funny' when people are doing the jokes. How to shut up the boring 'comedians' with one shot
I'm also proud of the fact that I escaped, mind you 
I'm from Essex as well, but I put Devon as that's where I've been for the past 7 years.
I don't fit the mould either, but I was in M&S in Exeter once and there was an elderly guy badmouthing Essex an it's people. I just stood behind him with a sly grin on my face, but inside it was the only time I've ever had yobbish thoughts.
So my sister's an Essex girl... and I work with two others in fact.
So I have a saying
Never underestimate an Essex Girl.
-
I will be booking for this. :)
I'd have booked already had it been in the south, but by train from Devon Northampton is far enough to give me second thoughts.
-
do I get Claudia to sign it as I think she's the only one missing!
If you do be sure to find a place with plenty of room, she does her sig as large as possible!
-
with a view to release in the US in July. Never has there been a more appropriate time for a reunion eh?
Surely July would be more apt, and since LF&CC is in July, that would be a better time and place for a reunion.
-
I thought that Michael Shanks was technically second on the cast list because he got the "and..." at the end. Or am I confused by that?
Stargate, the most long running sci-fi show ever.
No it's not. I'm pretty sure Doctor Who can claim that title.
Yeah but it took a break then started up again, Stargate SG-1 went for 10 full seasons without stopping.
Doctor Who went 22 years without stopping, and even then that 22nd year was only an 18 month hiatus before continuing for another 4 years. It was on air 26 consecutive years.
In terms of 'hour long' dramas Stargate wins, but in terms of episodes, Dr Who wins by miles.
-
I'd attend a Cardiff one for the right guests. Not as easy from the South West by train as London, but easier than Glasgow, Milton Keynes or Manchester
Bristol or Exeter would be even better! But little chance of that!
-
Banning us from taking a photo of the guest, whilst in the queue and whilst the signing takes place, with the flash OFF, is ridiculous and pathetic.
I agree, a sign saying no flash photography would have made more of an impression.
As it is I got one autograph for my sister. She'd have no proof other than my word it was signed by the person in question without a photo.
Still there were ways....
Short of confiscating everyone's cameras - and for that matter mobile phones. And do hidden cameras cost that much these days? All they can do is ask, or throw you out.
-
Over £500 easily. No hotel expenses, and only two virtual ticket signers. Most was the Star Wars people, and most of them just the one each.
-
Hi Tina.Unfortunately,you cant by tickets for both days on the saturday.
I did last year. No harm in asking.
-
I have update the guests list.
The days should now be pretty much 100%, there may be one or two of the prices out by £5 as some have not been confirmed yet and there for are still only estimates at this time.
Add all that up in Excel and it works out almost £1000, if you wanted one of each guest.
-
Nope, you're not imagining things. It's even said in the announcement:
LATEST GUEST ANNOUNCEMENT JOHN ALTMAN
and was a Rebel Pilot in Star Wars VI: Return Of The Jedi
Not all the rebels were flying X-Wings, or even in the same colour flight suits!
-
since Spiner cancelled all the guests I wanted to see have cancelled so I will probably not bother now.
Strictly speaking Brent never cancelled; the dates of the events just changed around him.
-
And two have been lost. Glad I met Ray at C:E, shame about Bronagh
-
What is it with BSG & conventions? The last year I have gone to conventions and the following guest cancelled: Tricia Helfer, James Callis (2x), Aaron Douglas, Tahmoh Penikett. And now Mary McDonnell
It will probably be easier to get hold of them next year. Unfortunately.
-
I reckon the full lot would cost about £900, I'm not meeting most of the major stars or sports people and have worked out I could spend £400. All these Star Wars people... and a few multiples
-
The three stories on their site can be bought together for £25 I believe. Of £10 each
-
I went last year for Carrie, and even went to another big signing later in the year (in Birmingham) But I'm starting to think this years event going to be too big for me to afford, and is going to be so packed it won't be enjoyable.

They moved a group of people from the back of the queue to stand next to those of us who had been waiting for a couple of hours already. This started off peoplewondering what was happening and because no one explained people got more and more riled.
That's what I mean - we weren't from the back at all, we'd already queued an hour or two as well.
As it was planned (ha!) the overflow from Mark's main queue went back towards the voucher desk, and many of us waited there for ages. And eventually it stopped moving completely. And we could see people were just joining the main queue which had gone off in another direction. Bypassing us completely.
So when our overflow was moved alongside, we may well have been put in from of some who'd been in the original line all along, but knowing where the (unintentional) queue jumpers joined that queue would have been impossible to tell. Like I said we all had stewards on our sides, it's just neither side won.
-
However, I was very impressed with Hamil. Okay he kept us waiting, but he dedicated and wrote messages, chatted, posed for photos with everyone, even posed for people taking photos who weren't in his queue.
Which his organiser was telling us he really didn't have time to do. And we all had to co-operate. I was near the front of the left queue just as the right queue was threated with being thrown out if they didn't accept the take turns. What the organisers didn't understand (and both queues had stewards on their side) it was later people joining the right queue instead on going round the corner, and the ones at the front of the right queue were blameless. Just loud
Great three days for me. Glad I had more than half the autographs before I went in though.

That's why many original series monsters are owned by private individuals - remember the concern they might not be able to use the Daleks in the run up to the Eccleston season? Same is true of many companions from the old show; Ace is owned by the BBC, Nyssa is not. That's also why, during the wilderness years when the show was off-air, people were able to license the use of some of the characters and monsters for non-BBC video dramas - the Yeti, Sarah Jane, Brigadier, Sergeant Benton, Sontarans, Daemons, etc. all appeared in them because the producers licensed them from more amenable writer/owners rather than the typically unhelpful BBC licensing department.
Sarah Jane Smith is BBC, it'a just people have been able to get licences for her.

It's to keep them from blabbing storylines.
