He would well and truly blow the budget for the year let alone this show Given that everything from that has the words "Big Finish" plastered on it can be signed by him, even if he was absurd and said "Yes i'll sign at £1 an Item" and you'd allot £50 to him, you'd have to quote the second Doctor "a complete metal breakdown" trying to work out what means more to get signed and even then you'd walk away with regret, i'm surprised his Wiki Page under Producer credits doesn't say "Does it say Big Finish on it?, then yes", even thinking about it where would i start in the theoretical is causing a headache, the only dead certains would be Series 4, Series 7, "The Power of the Doctor", The Davros Collection and the Regeneration boxset, and thats not even counting any of the individual big finish stories, because "The Light at the end" and i'd want to see what stories i'd want signed more. if he was ever theoretically booked for an LFCC by god would i hope it be November and then put together the money over the year with whatever scraps i can to even attempt a sweep.

I've already slashed one of my Katy Mannings off, and there remains a solid chance that even one of my two colins could find itself being removed, and thats me putting it nicely, there is honestly so much that Kasey covers, even looking at some already signed gear i'm after its a tricky one, because theres one or two items that i'm determined to lay my fingers on, but i need to save the change for the Event, and work hours have officially entered the period of Oh crap nothing, even with my coworker shoving 3 hours my way.

D-C-A Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 Well I am heart broken to have just learned that Gregory De Polney has passed away, of course to us he was D84 in “the robots of death”. He Heard a cry and it was me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any now Personally I don’t want to be inundated with New Series Boxsets or covers as I do like a healthy amount of classic covers, more fun imo, but at the same time, also have to take into account a fair distribution, I’ve always come away from events when I haven’t prioritised at least one item from each guest and instead decided I know I’ll just get more from then, especially if they’re not companions or the like of regular attendees. i am contemplating switching “Frontier in Space” back for “Carnival of Monsters” so at least then that becomes a respectable 5 name set, as opposed to a classy 4 name set, but even then “frontier in space” only has a single name and that’s Stephen Thorne in the booklet not the cover itself, and I can’t locate a cover online that is signed in the correct side for my tastes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's Katy and it would be rude to not at least say hi to her Most of the people in spring are solely going in the diary, such as Christopher Chung and Sophie Myles. Paul is needed on my two Cybermen posters primarily but will be going on seasons 2 and 7. He can easily be cut from the Diary. Millie and Varada are going on the season 15 steelbook. Fingers crossed as I'm not going for a diamond pass for either of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Katy to heaven and back she treats you like family, and i would love to also get her on Masterful which I may take just in case a spare £20 becomes available but she is someone who you just love meeting. that said I would remove “Monster of Peladon” from her and keep her signatures to stories she’s worked on, but at the same time anything Season 11 is so tricky to get signed so I’m planning to leave her on said release and have to get her for the special feature appearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophia I already have on series 2 from beginning of last year at Megacon but the CDs are now all I have left for her, as for Christopher, yeah he’s going on Series 15 because I’ve already begun work on the set, but then again once he’s on it, short of a big finish appearance that’ll be him out of the way. as for Paul yeah if he was at a Fantom event that would be easier, but LFCC isn’t too bad, I’m guessing his traffic flow will be as expected and quick, unless you’re say me and want to talk to him but then again I have the regeneration set for him, so that will take more military manoeuvres for that set.

Fingers crossed as I'm not going for a diamond pass for either of them Series 15 for both the lovely ladies and Ncuti of course, but for them I do have the Diamond passes so I’m safe in that regard, but with the four names now added I would like to say it’ll be a very solid 8 name set when all is said and done, with 5 of the big names. if I was to be greedy, I’d want Susan Twist again so I can add her to 2 items, those being the 60th anniversary Specials and Series 14, but that maybe for June so I can get more funds together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God love that woman by all means. still need to meet Louise need her most definitely her and Mary Tamm are the only only 1970s companions I don’t have an autograph off, well besides Marter but let’s be honest no chance there. as for Diamond Passes, Katy should be a pass because she takes her time and the VQ needs space for her otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-C-A Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 Right yes we got one but I’m at work until late tonight so I can’t update yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-C-A Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 Making her sole Appearance in an audio drama we have Holly De-Jong who played Amelia Doory in the Big Finish story "Project: Twilight" the 23rd entry of the main range. Holly is attending on the Sunday and is £15 for her Autograph or Photo. Now this i'm excited for as out of the 111 Main Range Audios i've listened to "Project: Twilight" sits at number 20 so i'm excited to add her to that CD as i already have one of the two writers, specifically Cavan Scott, and its always nice when i get some CDs signed that i already own. Of course for fans of other Sci-Fi shows, she's in "Aliens" and for fans of Comedies she's also in "Blackadder II" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-C-A Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 I've often said about pieces falling into places with guest announcements, and the past two with Fantom almost seem to scream falling into place, unfortunately at the wrong time, as i'm hoping to attend the signing, but it'll effectively be with leftover, scraped together funds and maybe slashing guests from the list altogether, as Michael Kilgrarrif had moved himself notably high on the list the instant i came into possession of a Tom Baker and Nicholas Courtney signed DVD cover of "Robot" and went higher the second John Levene signed his name to the item (that along with an offer of £200 upon some chap seeing the names, an offer that politely declined was not met with the same politeness upon hearing said decline) so getting K1 on the piece works almost perfectly, and if i can afford also straight onto "Frontier in space" so i can have both first and second Ogrons, somewhere needs Rick Lester Assuming he's still alive, then i'll have all three credited Ogrons. Then we have Petra Markham who whilst going onto Lost in time and Season 2, does also cover two of the four CDs from "Gracless IV" which whilst i've not enjoyed that set (Even if i've only listened to "The Bomb" for Ann Firbank only to never actually get her on the bleeding thing and only have Dame Sian Philips instead) and i mention this because both of those CDs also happen to have Dan Starkey on them, so that would be a swoop of a line up, but would also be another £60, £20 of which i'd need when i dont have the spares to even consider it. However the kink in the plan again comes back to the Lovely Katy, because i'm already cutting back from the 5 i want from her BUT if i get Michael Killgarrif on "Frontier in Space" then i'll want her on that as well as i hate leaving items with only a single name earlier than a certain point, and my Stephen Thorne is in the booklet so it'll feel weird either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-C-A Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Well the plan is now set, as i've used a few funds from a month where pay wasn't great and now have purchased a VHS Cover of "The Crusade"/"The Space Museum" signed by William Russell, so if i can make the signing later this month, very much at the end of the month that is, it'll be a launch point to add Petra Markham to, and now has me wanting Julian Glover to return to an LFCC to add him as well. It was either not get this item signed and stick to just Season 2 and Lost in Time OR look for something "Nightmare of Eden" as a launch pad, and i believe my choice was likely the best of them, well within my budget that is, but once again it has pushed Maureen O'Brien back up to add her to the item as well, although granted i think she was already in the medium range as i want her on "The Rescue" as i do have Chris Barry on that one, but beyond that i've only "The Space Museum" and "Galaxy 4" left DVD wise, VHS and TV Story CD wise i do also have "The Crusade" both VHS and CD, then i think just "The Myth Makers" before i'd need to move onto the Big Finish canon, and i'd have bugger all clue where to start there.

So the temptation is to start yet another poster, but then it means I'll be waiting on Burn to make an appearance. As they are included in the ticket price, it would be a waste not to get them on something rather than just the weekend programme. The same as the Class actors, if they werent free i wouldn't even worry about getting them on anything Arthur will go on everything I missed out on in November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
