We don't seem to have a thread for this. I thought I'd create one so DeeDee can post her pics I'm still hoping to get a Captain John costume photo shoot ETA All sold out now so I won't be getting one! There seems to have been a last minute rush on certain tickets.

I'm hoping to put some pictures on here today as Howie is here and can help me When we got to the sales desk they said there were tickets left for Captain John but it clashed with the John Hurt talk and I didn't want the stress of trying to manage both! We'd planned on this con being completely stress free but I think that's an impossibility as far as cons go!!! I only got to see glimpses of James as I had nothing booked I know, call myself a fan!!!!!! But there was a spacious area by his signing table so we hung out there to try and catch DeeDee. Also, I wanted to show him off to Howie We didn't see DeeDee but I had a chat with Rosie and also one of our Torchwood convention 'friends' plus we both like people watching so it was a good place to hang. I loved meeting Sophie Aldred and we even had a chat about hot flushes! Jacqueline Pierce was lovely too, very chatty and so elegant and beautiful for her age. I got a picture of her in one of those extraordinary Servelan outfits signed. Howie got Peter Purves autograph as well as Sophie's. Then we had the John Hurt talk. He looked really well and is very interesting to listen to, as a lot of mature British actors are. Of course, his questions included the Alien stomach bursting scene The Doctor Who talk was a freebie and was Sophie, Peter and John Leeson, AKA K-Nine. When we left the JH talk we came across DeeDee in the JM queue so had a brief word before she went in but managed to catch her when she came out and we were in the Who talk queue! It was lovely to see her but I think the travel had taken it's toll on her There were some fabulous costumes there, some people are so dedicated! I'm not sure I could walk through Brighton dressed as an ape with a big gun! We wanted to know if the guy dresses as Conan had too as his costume was rather more revealing. Didn't get to ask because I was 'stalking' from the balcony trying to take close up shots of his body We love being at these events were everyone is in that same mind zone. There were several 11th Doctors and some Amy Ponds too. I was really hot in the jacket and managed to break my Sonic Screwdriver in the loo because there were no hooks!!!! We bought some Dr Who prints to be framed and hung in Howie's new place and I got a Walking Dead print plus another 11th Doctor mug. Rainbow, it was made by those two women who used to attend the Hub conventions! We could have spent loads more but unfortunately or maybe luckily, not all the stalls had card facilities. Still, there's always next year We thought the venue was good and it was fairly well organised for Showmasters but there was a lack of general seating and not too many queues for food or toilets. I don't know what the attendance was but we thought James was the biggest draw queue wise I hope he got/gets to see some of Brighton, or at least the Pavilion by night as it is quite a sight all lit up.

Great report Pluto , it was great to see you both , you both looked great were you 11 and Howie 9 love the photos I had trouble with the F...ing chair so I sat around the photo shoot area and didn't get to the auto area at all but I heard James was fan boying over John Hurt I got all my photo done in one day so I didn't need to go back on Sunday so on Sunday I just stayed in the hotel when I moved to it and was asleep most well nearly all of the day I'm sorry you didn't get to have the James costume shoot , he looked Awesome and I missed the John Hurt talk I bet that was Awesome as well The only people I took photos in cos play was Zena and Hurculese (sp ?) OMG he looked Faaaaaaaaaaab

Was it these two DeeDee? I thought he was Conan. I was observing from the mezzanine floor and trying to get a full frontal but it came out blurry
