    I 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.

    Went! 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.

    • K-Kobus-K

      July 13th, 2011 - 10:31pm

      July 14th, 2011 - 4:24pm

      Booboo, if we buy a book do you think we would be able to get something else signed? Like ‘The Unearthy Child’ DVD signed by Carole Ann Ford or ‘The War Games’ DVD by Frazer Hines?

    • booboo

      July 14th, 2011 - 4:26pm

      I really dont know,They are usually there just to sign the product they are promoting ie the book but it would be best to check with them

      Why 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.
