cunningham1471 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Less well known actors can often be some of the best because they don't have the expectation attached too them. Also the bigger names may have done other cons and they actually start to lose their appeal IMO. Regular con-goers sometimes decide to skip a guest on stage as they have seen them 6,7,8 times. They know their most often used stories, know more or less what they are going to get and would rather mingle and chat with other fans who aren't at the Q&A sessions. I enjoy the writers, Directors etc as much as the star names. However I do know lots of people don't. I do feel for them as guests when the request is put out does anyone have a question and no hands go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamsAdventures Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 In my opinion I would rather have less well know actors and for the con to go ahead than ME concentrating on big name guests, not getting anyone and cancelling the con. I really don't want this t be cancelled though but the lack of information is worrying. I dont know why but I have a feeling something will be announced on Tuesday... DW11 I agree with this i have met most of the 'big' names and would love to meet some of the 'minor' cast, i have been talks with them before and they have been much more interesting and have funnier stories!!

doctors10thgirl Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Will they be anymore guests to the Lords of Time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElaineJ Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) I would love to see any of the production staff - what are the chances of getting Russell T Davies, for instance? Or any of the directors/SFX people? Companions of the tenth (and eleventh!) Doctor would be great of course. Anyone who has worked on Ten's era (or classic or Eleven's if it comes to that but if you are aiming for a Tenth Doctor themed convention then perhaps that wouldn't work so well!) I am not alone in wondering about the lack of guest info now that we are a month away from the event. I know you are professionals and am sure you have it all under control but you must admit these are quite unusual circumstances and whilst not wishing to scare-monger, I am a little concerned that I will very soon have to book train tickets if I don't want to pay over the odds for them; I understand that you don't wish to announce guests until they are signed but ... well, I'm trying not to be anxious about it but I have to admit that I am, a little. People are begging for info before making up their minds and I just feel that to ask for some kind of official response to them in the circumstances is not unreasonable. I'm sure we are worrying needlessly and it will be a great weekend but just a sign that you see and understand our concern (even if you think we're daft) would be very comforting for those unsure about booking. I hope I don't sound negative, I'm really not! :-) Edited August 7, 2012 by ElaineJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctors10thgirl Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 5 weeks away and 2 guests are not good enough the reason why i was going is too see David but now after spending a hell of lot of money on flights etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold_SaxonPM Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Can I point out that, contary to what it says on the main page and the guest list page, David Tennant did not play Doctor Who....he played the Doctor.

Blackbird Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I have confirmed that, as I'd feared, I have a gig the weekend of the event, so I can't go. I hope that everyone who can attend has a wonderful time. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zardoz Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Has it been confirmed yet, what guests will be attending on which days? I notice it's been announced that David Tennant is doing another show in London on Saturday 8th (a comedy show, not a con), and is supposed to be filming in Bristol on the Friday -- so he's only attending on the Sunday? Do we know what guests will be there on the Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantweiler Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 This is quite irritating as I can only make the Friday and Saturday so was really looking forward to meeting and getting my photo with David which I doubt will happen now sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avengers7 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I'm still waiting for that rarer guest, although I have a feeling the guest list is set. Nevermind, looks like it will be a cheap convention for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
