Nell Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 OH MY GOODNESS! There's someone I thought you would NEVER get! There's no way I can afford to meet him and I don't even think we are going on the Saturday but Kudos to SM for getting such a fab guest!!!!! *hi fives* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutley Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 So the questions that need to be answered. If i have a kiddy with me, can we both go up. (or will there be a kiddie park area there) Can kids buy their own Autograph, or will they not be allowed up in the queue? Will there be Dracula photos that he is signing? Or just a nice head shot?

JackAubrey Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Good questions almost the same i am pondering, would be nice to have an answer JA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crippsy_99 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 you dont remember him in bond?? He is the man with the golden gun!!! Maybe showing my age but almost anyone in this country over 25 would know who he is! Im 23 Havnt seen the older bond films for months, but even looking at the photos of him in it, I have a slight inkling of him in one, but otherwise honistly dont remember him or his role!

(or will there be a kiddie park area there) Can kids buy their own Autograph, or will they not be allowed up in the queue? presumably, the answer would be yes - if both of you have your own VT ticket. can't see a reason not to allow them, but to provide an area for kids to wait... there's a lot of regulations to adhere to, and training of staff et cetera. hard to do everything in the last few days. there might be leeway, i dunno. but i can't see it bein the case if its summat mr lee has requested himself, that theres only one auto per person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutley Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 But then, will SM count Kids as a full person? If so they can get and auto if you are buying two, but if you are only after one............ Only people that are after an autograph can queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would a kiddie need a VT. SM would surely understand the situation and allow the kid to go up with the parent, but only the parent has the autograph. Making the kid also have a VT could stop others getting an auto if they go so high, especially as the VT's for the kids wont be being used.

Only people that are after an autograph can queue. i'm guessing the answer is yes, they will count as equal to 'adult' (i won't say full person, because a kid is still human ) but in the case of being after 1 auto... i honestly don't know. from the FAQ: Can I go up with my friend/partner/child to see the guest, I'm not getting an autograph? The answer is yes. But please be aware that if it is not an open queue you WILL need your own VT. Without a VT you will not be allowed to join the queue with your friend/partner/child. They are free so please make sure you take one when your friend/partner does. This does also apply to adults accompanying children. If i have a kiddy with me, can we both go up.

Big_Pants Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I love Christopher Lee, he's been my favourite actor since childhood but I can't afford to get him. That's not to say I don't think he's worth £45, he absolutely is! If I had it i wouldn't hesitate, similarily if I could go to the talk I would, that's a truly once in a lifetime opportunity. Lucky you to those who get to meet this great, great man. I've met him before so it's not the end of the world but damn I'd love to get my Lord Of The Rings book signed by him As to the question about taking a child up with you I don't see what the alternative would be, you can hardly dump the wee one at the end of the queue while you wait to meet him. I'd assume they'd be fine with it as long it's not a family of four going up for a single auto for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackAubrey Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Right, if im being thick tell me, Ok Three of us want Christopher Lee's Auto, we all pay, this means three Autographs, yes, but does it mean we all can go up together??? JA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JA so long as you all have VT's and they're all due to go up, yes. 3 ppl 3VTs 3 autographs all 3 vts are in the range to go up to the guest leads to: you can all go up together hope thats helpful?

That's slightly different from the normal VT rules, where you just need an additional VT as long as you're accompanying somebody getting an auto.

That's slightly different from the normal VT rules, where you just need an additional VT as long as you're accompanying somebody getting an auto. true, but in a way its simply tightening the VT rules - typically most ppl get VTs because they're getting an auto anyway, and some ppl will go up with a friend who's getting multiple autos. its simply saying that, for Mr Lee, it is required for each VT that an auto is to be purchased as well.

theoden_of_rohan Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Erm... *picks self off floor* ...this is BLIMMING FANTASTIC!!!!!! I'm gonna' have to forfeit some other guests to get him, but there is NO WAY on this Earth that I'm missing out on Christopher Lee!

rich5wolves Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 you dont remember him in bond?? He is the man with the golden gun!!!

Havnt seen the older Bond films in months? The film is called "The Man with the Golden Gun", he played, the man with the Golden Gun, he was the main character in it. Maybe you havnt seen it or something because if you have youd remember him. Plus his role as Dracula is iconic and Saruman in LOTR is awesome too. He is a highly respected actor amongst fans and professionals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedicouncil Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 what an absolutely amazing guest, I've been unsure whether to come or not and just talked myself out of it because of the England game, what a nice quandry this has given me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna' have to get there at stupid-o-clock to make sure too lol! Echoing Lee's post above and many others in saying WOW ! Yes my non-existent bank balance had a heart attack and I was sadly contemplating cutting back on the many Elijah's I'd love to get to one lol, but this definitely calls for a Plan B (whatever that is) Congratulations on such an amazing guest, personally I've always loved him and with a huge respected varied iconic career like his, as much as £45 is higher than the norm he's worth that and so much more for me ...... the week-end's just gone superbly surreal Edited June 27, 2006 by roxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich5wolves Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 £45 Good Job i dont wana meet him. A worthy replacement for Richard Dreyfuss! Knew you'd do something SM , wasnt sure what but this is ace!
