July 18th, 2011 - 10:43pmI went to this. It was so cool, I got to meet Jamie and Susan. I got the Dalek, Cybermen and Abonibal Snowman books(my sister got Auton Invasion) signed alongside my ‘Unearthly Child’ DVD and ‘Tomb Of The Cybermen’ VHS.I’d never been to anything like this before and I wouldn’t have done if it wasn’t mentioned on this site. Thanks Booboo.

July 16th, 2011 - 7:28pmWent! You were able to bring anything, so i brought ten books.
Terrance Dicks was lovely. He was really cheerful, and the nicest person I saw. Frazer was also lovely, as was Caroline. I’d never heard of the artist up until yesterday, and I am impressed. Yet he has his artwork on pieces of paper next to him- 1 costs £10! Extortion! Yet, he was lovely.
McGann is The Doctor.

July 13th, 2011 - 8:26pmWhy does every Doctor Who event have to be miles and miles away?
gary
July 13th, 2011 - 8:43pmWhy do they all have to be in London? Just because it’s the capital city doesn’t mean it should get everything. What about the Forbidden Planets in other regions.
booboo
July 13th, 2011 - 8:49pmI know the feeling
