TFD77 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Surprised the site isn't updated - Colin Baker just replied to me on Twitter saying he can't attend due to being in a play - I was excited to meet him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I'm sure this will be done as soon as possible. Everyone is currently in London busy with LFACC right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthonyharrison11 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) Glad i came to the forum to check wether Colin was still going before i decided to come to this event. He's still on the main page with the other guests attending Edited July 25, 2011 by Anthonyharrison11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraHawk Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Well he can't do Saturday as that's the last night of the play's stop in Swansea, but he doesn't have theatre commitments on the Sunday so could still be attending then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyT Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Well he can't do Saturday as that's the last night of the play's stop in Swansea, but he doesn't have theatre commitments on the Sunday so could still be attending then. Really? So he's in Swansea on Saturday night, probably finishing around say 10-ish, and then no doubt a couple of drinks for end of tour party. I can't see him either wanting to drive overnight or be driven overnight to Glasgow, and there's no flights from Cardiff airport to Scotland late on a Saturday night, so you'll need a flight up on Sunday morning. Cardiff has a flight to Glasgow, but not until Sunday evening, and a flight to Edinburgh which gets into Edinburgh at something like quarter to four, so he'd be unlikely to be at the show before 5.15pm Sunday. Birmingham has a flight to Glasgow getting in at 1:25 pm, or one to Edinburgh getting in at 11:10 am. With the best will in the world, and even if there are plane tickets still available, he's not likely to get to the show before 1pm, and that's assuming somebody can drive him early enough from Swansea (probably leaving not much after 7.30 am, which I know I wouldn't want to do after an end of tour party) to Birmingham on Sunday morning and somebody else can get him from Edinburgh. Sounds like a non-starter to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraHawk Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Not the end of the tour, just the last night in Swansea. I agree its rather unlikely, but not impossible he'd do the drive. Knowing him. Cardiff has a flight to Glasgow, but not until Sunday evening, and a flight to Edinburgh which gets into Edinburgh at something like quarter to four, so he'd be unlikely to be at the show before 5.15pm Sunday.

TommyT Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I agree its rather unlikely, but not impossible he'd do the drive. Knowing him.It's an eight hour drive - probably nearer ten by the time you've figured in fuel stops, bathroom breaks and coffee/food intake. Safety of driving aside, would you really think it fair on either guest or attendees to have someone turn up after being awake for probably 24 hours, to start a show?Cardiff has a flight to Glasgow, but not until Sunday evening, and a flight to Edinburgh which gets into Edinburgh at something like quarter to four, so he'd be unlikely to be at the show before 5.15pm Sunday.You peaked my curosityLastMinute.com Cardiff to Glasgow KLM ROYAL DUTCH AIRLINES KL1058, KL1473 Departs: Sun 28 Aug 11 06:00 Arrives: Sun 28 Aug 11 10:05 Aircraft: F70 - Economy - 1 stop - Duration: 04 hrs 05 mins I apologise if I piqued your curiosity unnecessarily - I was referring to direct flights. The arrangement you refer to above is from Cardiff to Amsterdam and then a flight change to go from Amsterdam to Glasgow. Given international check-in times, I should think that if he gets up early enough to leave his hotel by about 4.15am, he might make it. I don't feel that's overly reasonable to be honest...
