Well, I'd point out that the US version of Red Dwarf had Kryten in and I think involved some of the UK people and that was a flop. Most US remakes don't succeed but some do, so who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehh, they tried that with the movie and it didn't go anywhere so I'm skeptical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An American Torchwood could work if done well. But Doctor Who not so sure about. As much as I love Paul McCann I didn't like the americanised version of Doctor Who in the 90's.

Doctor who definitely no, it’s been running for too long that having an American version would just feel forced and would fail, Torchwood however with John Barrowman involved would work quite well I think, as much as I’d like torchwood to return to Cardiff, chances of that are very slim so I’d take an American reboot just to have the show back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Well, lets face it, geekdom has come a LONG way since the McGann film, and networks know there's money in it if it's done well and it's popular, so there's always the potential that they will look at it more than as a cute little project that'll be watched by a few here and there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think an American version of Torchwood is fine, but I’m not so sure about American Doctor Who! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could go to DSTB but there are only 4 guests that I really want to meet so far so it's probably gonna be a last minute decision when the time comes. And of course LFCC Winter one month later... I still have some budget left but it's not much Already 13 conventions I can confirm I'll attend this year with 8 still to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazza96 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Sorry, quick interruption to the Lucifer news for a query of mine. I went to my first LFCC last year and got a healthy supply of autographs and also a photograph with a celebrity. I've managed with putting them in frames but now I'm going again this year I feel I need a proper way of keeping all my autographs in one place and only keeping special ones on display. What does everyone use/recommend? I just want to store them safely but still be able to flick through easily. Thanks for any help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does everyone use/recommend? I just want to store them safely but still be able to flick through easily. Thanks for any help!!! Binder with punched pocket pages. Anything acid free is fine, but the pages do need to be acid free - if it doesn't say they are in the description, don't use them. Most people store in folders using things like Arrowfile pages or similar. I used Ultrapro pages but they are impossible to get now so have switched to ones from this company (email them and they will help you if you want to buy from them) http://www.cxdinternational.com/home.aspx?pagename=home for 8x10's and A4 stuff - for anything larger I have an archive safe A3 box from London Graphic Centre. If you display them in a frame make sure you use one with a mount if you are displaying the originals as a mount helps keep the glass off the signature.

Also, whilst not in relation to what to store them in, I put a post it note on the back of all the auto's in the binders with the name of the person it's signed by, the date and the event I got it at - believe me, if you start going to a lot of events, after a while it can be easy to forget who it is, particularly if the signature isn't legible.

Also regarding frames, I hadn't even thought about the glass on the signature so I'll modify that ASAP. 2 hours ago, Raylenth said: Also, whilst not in relation to what to store them in, I put a post it note on the back of all the auto's in the binders with the name of the person it's signed by, the date and the event I got it at - believe me, if you start going to a lot of events, after a while it can be easy to forget who it is, particularly if the signature isn't legible. What a good idea, didn't think of that either!
