Don Leaver has agreed to a filmed interview which will be screened over the weekend.

Sad news. I wish those with ill health all the best. Jon Rollason as Dr Martin King is a big favourite, at least with me!

Very sad.

I loved Dr. King, and the wonderful thing about people like him and Julie Stevens is that they tend to have new stories to tell, simply because they haven't been interviewed over and over, and haven't come up with a standard Avengers story they repeat in every interview. I hope his health improves (and that of the rest, obviously).

You're so right, Timeless.

I guess you heard Julie's commentary on the Optimum dvds. Well, I didn't know she was a big fan of the show. She was lucky enough to get a part in it.

My Ticket arrived today, look forward to meeting some people off of this forum. Still need to book some accommodation, where is everyone staying?

At the Woolpack Inn, just a few miles away (20 or 30 min from the campus, by walk).

I used booking.com, a great website where you can find good prices!

Gosh, you've received your ticket, you're from England ? Coz I didn't. I hope they sent it to me too, though i always fear not to see it in my mailbox.

I don't remember if I gave them my full address or not, however I had 'tweeted' them after.

I'm staying at the uni- there's no cheaper accommodation in town!

Ok thanks for the suggestions will take a look tonight and hopefully book something.
Does anyone know if there are going to be anymore guest announcements or if Diana Rigg will be attending?
Cheers

Anyone else having problems getting the accommodation page on the website to load or is it just me?

Well, Terrance Dicks and Jonathan Alwyn were announced only this week, but I very much doubt anyone else will be announced so late in proceedings.

Diana Rigg is appearing in Pygmalion at the Garrick Theatre until September, so again, I very much doubt she will be available for the convention. Do see the play if you get the chance though- she is exquisite as Mrs Higgins. "Ugh- Men!"
