Hehehehe, sorry chum, some confusion over the fees! Their representative agency (can't remember the name now) on their website quote these for appearences.....Jezza's sig for £25K? HELL NO!

I've heard that one of the five Stig's is Johnny Herbert but how true that is is anyone's guess.... As for getting Jezza, Hamster and Captain Slow it would be awesome but I read somewhere Clarkson and Hammond can charge upto £25k each while May is around £15K-£20K! At those fees, along with his TG and journalism pay maybe Jezza could finally buy a Veyron! Hmmm, the Veyron.......anyone wanna buy me one? I'll be your friend

Seeing as the GMex weekend has a few of the cast, how about a Red Dwarf reunion in full? Just an idea......

I do have a copy of "If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor" and he does metion in the addendum 'Chins Across America - The Tour' about his promotional tour for the book and that he gets people to put their name on a post-it (same thing as Showmasters putting it on your ticket stubb), as well as a run-in with a kid named 'Ash' by his parents who is clearly not a fan! He decided a long time back not to send autographs from requests made to his website. However, and I quote from the site: "What about conventions, you ask? Absolutely - I'll sign whatever folks allow me to do - that's what they're all about and there is at least a little more to the autograph when I can put my clammy hand in yours for a nanosecond. There's also DESIGNATED time and space alloted for that type of thing. Granted, I don't do that many conventions these days, but any apperances are listed on my website." Wikipedia = 95% B/S. Still, maybe not a good idea to hand a copy of 'Moontrap' for him to sign..... You don't ask you'll never know!

Ok, so I can fully appreciate that it may well be an out of reach dream/ask but I reckon Showmasters could pull it off.....he'd be a HUGE guest if he could agree! Anybody agree?

Hahaha! I think I heard someone say that out loud too.....had to stop and try to figure that one out!

I can see where the original postee is coming from and yes, I agree it can be really dissapointing but there are some upside as far as I see it: 1. As many others have said, the individual has cancelled has no doubt done so becuase they have an actual job and just like us all, no-one can turn down the chance of work. Sadly sacrifices have to be made sometimes. Besides, that person may be going on to be part of a show/movie that is worth watching and become something you really enjoy! 2. I doubt any of us who attend conventions can pop out to the big money tree at the bottom of the garden and pick a few of those very special leaves, so by having a few cancellations, it can save us all some money. No doubt many may well have saved for C12 (well done if you have! I've not got the patience for that!) but just like none of us turning down the opportunity of work, it's always nice to have a bit more cash in your pocket than you thought you would have. I'm personally really gutted Tobe Hooper and Ashley Laurence have cancelled and now I'm thinking about scrapping getting my Lament Configuration DVD set signed by Higgins, Bamford & Vince (still thinking about this actually!) but I can't avoid the fact I save a few quid. However, if Romero quits I will start to cry...... C12 still has some awesome guests so to everybody, just enjoy the day/weekend for what it is, meet some really cool people and buy some really great stuff. Spend some time in the company of like-minded people and revel in your passion for every cult-y

Totally agree, he's the the West End right now in 'Swimming With Sharks' so I'd put my money on him being a big no for any con sadly.

Simple: if you don't like the line-up or think you've been shafted over the proposed event.....don't go! It really is that easy! No-one is forcing anybody to a fan event where you don't think it fulfills what you desire and/or expect. For my two cents, I'm really happy with the line-up, especially the horror guests.......can't wait to meet Romero again, get to see Hooper, have Barbeau and Atkins sign my copy of 'Escape From New York' but even more so I'd love it for Doug Bradley and Kenneth Cranham to be at C12 as that would just top the 'Hellraiser' reunion for me but I'm not going to start whining about the fact that they are not appearing (as of yet! ). Sure, this will only be my second Showmasters event but I think they've done a bang-up job so far. Now, about Mr Bradley......

just so you know LMAO

Is this person for real?

Can I ask where you got a copy of that script? I'd love to read it. I found a copy of his 'Resident Evil' script a few years ago and that's far superior to the steaming pile of crap Paul WS Anderson churned out!

Dear Jimmy. Can you fix it for me to meet some of the people related to either the comic or film adaptation of the outstanding '30 Days Of Night'. Maybe Steve Niles, Ben Templesmith or one of those movie bods? I'd be like a pig in s**t if you could make it happen. Ta.

David Wenham would be great....don't know anyone else who's seen 'The Proposition' but he's fantastic in that also. One of those actors who's great even if they are featured in crap('The Proposition' is outstanding btw), people like Ron Pearlman or William H Macey, those kind of actors. Second Gerard Butler too......

Arrhg! Too many! George A. Romero x3 Tobe Hooper x1 George Takei x2 Walter Koenig x1 Jewel Staite x2 Greg Grunberg x1 James Kyson Lee x1 Eric Avari x1 Matthew John Armstrong x1 Ashley Laurence x1 Claire Higgins x1 (will be two if I can find the programme for Miller's 'Death Of A Salesman'....) Nicholas Vince x1 Simon Bamford x1 Adrien Barbeau x1 Tom Atkins x1 .....and no doubt Doug Bradley as there seems to be a 'Hellraiser' reunion in the pipeline.....hmm, any chance of getting Kenneth Cranham again? I'd spill the blood of the younglings to get his sig!
