Meeting: Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad, Malcolm in the Middle)

Early January, lucky enough to get up to London and catch the amazing Bryan Cranston after his perfomance in the show Network. Really friendly guy, very happy to meet his fans. I was like a giddy school girl, as Breaking Bad is my all-time favourite show!

Meeting: Zach Galligan (again!) (Gremlins)

In December I attended a cinema screening of Gremlins which also included a Q&A with Zach. He kindly did some photos at the end and I managed to grab one, which was great. I'd already met him at London F&CC but wanted to meet him again, plus I'd never seen Gremlins in a cinema before!

Meeting: Russ Streiner & Judith O'Dea (Night of the Living Dead)

Absolutely incredible to meet Judith O'Dea and Russ Streiner at Weekend of the Dead. Judith & Russ are best known for playing Barbra & Johnny, in George Romero's original 1968 movie, Night of the Living Dead! “They’re Coming to Get You Barbra!”

Meeting: Tudley James (Director)

Again, popped into town, bump into Tudley James, director of the bonkers Granny of the Dead.

 

Meeting: Paul Barber (Only Fools and Horses, The Full Monty)

Popped into town and bumped into Paul Barber aka 'Denzil' - Only Fools and Horses / 'Horse' - The Full Monty!

Meeting: Rob Brydon (Gavin and Stacey, The Trip)

I attended a Celebrity Cup golf match at the Celtic Manor in South Wales and met a few celebs along the way, including Welsh comedian Rob Brydon.

Meeting: Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter)

Over the weekend, I went to The Old Vic to watch the play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. Afte the show I literally raced out and into a queue to get the chance to meet one of the show's stars, Mr Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe.

Daniel was great, having been on stage for around 2.5 hrs, he then met with fans, took photos and signed items. Apparently he's doing this most nights after the show (for ticket holders), which is pretty cool of him.

Meeting: Joshua McGuire (Mr Turner, Cinderella, Misfits)

Over the weekend, I went to The Old Vic to watch the play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead but ended up getting there way too early, so had to hang around for a few hours before the show started. Whilst waiting outside I bumped into actor Joshua McGuire who is the show's co-star (and has been in Misfits, Mr Turner etc) so asked him if I could grab a pic. He was happy to oblige.

Meeting: Irvine Welsh (Writer: Trainspotting)

I was lucky (very lucky as it was supposed to be sold out) to get a ticket to 'An Audience with Irvine Welsh' in Cardiff, where Irvine was talking about his new book. He did a great chapter reading, followed by a very funny Q&A and then a signing. Really nice chap.

Meeting: Peter Capaldi ... again (Doctor Who)

Found out that the new (and Peter's final) series of DW was filming at Cardiff University. Luckily I happened to be working in Cardiff so popped along and managed to grab another snap with Peter. He'll be glad he's leaving the role at this rate!! :D

Meeting: Dave Prowse (Star Wars)

2017 Cardiff Comic Con - I've met Dave several times but never got a photo with him. Decided to do so at this event, which was a bit of luck as he is now no longer traveling too far to events, so this is the last time he will have done Cardiff. Phew!!

Meeting: Matt Lucas (Nardole - Doctor Who, Little Britain)

Early Feb 2017, I was informed that some filming was taking place for the new series of Doctor Who in Cardiff Bay. I popped down to take a look and there was indeed filming going on. As well as Peter and Pearl, Matt Lucas was also filming and was happy to sign some pictures and take some pics. Nice chap!

Meeting: Peter Capaldi (again!)

Early Feb 2017, I was informed that some filming was taking place for the new series of Doctor Who in Cardiff Bay. I popped down to take a look and there was indeed filming going on, so I managed to get another pic with the Good Doctor himself, Peter Capaldi. This is my 5th time meeting (and grabbing a pic) with PC.

Meeting: Spencer Wilding (Rogue One, Guardians of the Galaxy)

In Jan '17, I heard about a small Convention happening in Cardiff. The guests were all pretty low key, except for Spencer Wilding, who plays Darth Vader in Rogue One. This was his first UK convention. He was a friendly guy and quite chatty. Went along specially for this auto and photo. Sure he'll be in demand over the coming months.

Meeting: Tom Baker (The 4th Doctor)

In November I attended the Our Disappearing Planet signing event in Slough. There were some great folks I wanted to meet but my main reason for going was to catch the awesome 4th Doctor Tom Baker. I've met some of the later Doctors before but have never had the chance to meet Tom, so I made this event a must. Tom was lovely and a pleasure to meet. I was also really lucky as for some reason the photographer took 2 pics and they printed them both out for me! I'd also recommend any future ODP events as it was a great day, well organised with some brilliant guests.

Meeting: Nicholas Parsons (Doctor Who, Gameshow Host)

In November I attended the Our Disappearing Planet signing event in Slough. There were some great folks I wanted to meet. I actually hadn't twigged that Nicholas Parsons was attending this event, but when I spotted him, I had to grab a pic. He's a British TV legend and is getting on a bit, so wanted to say hello and grab this snap as I hadn't seen him at any other events.

Meeting: William Russell (Doctor Who)

In November I attended the Our Disappearing Planet signing event in Slough. There were some great folks I wanted to meet. I hadn't initially thought about getting a photoshoot with William (who played Ian Chesterton, companion to the first Doctor William Hartnell) but when I got there I was he was not doing posed photos so I decided to bite the bullet and get one as I'd missed him once before.
