Today I attended www.memorabilia.co.uk
I got to the NEC at about 11.45 and met Richard Briers from The Good Life pretty much as soon as I arrived! He was very friendly and chatty and happily posed for a photo. He doesn't actually look that much older than when he was in TGL either
Next I went to buy my photoshoot and autograph ticket for Robert Vaughn and got in to the queue for the photoshoot which thankfully wasn't too long! When I met Robert he said he was glad to meet a female at last as everyone else in the queue was male for some reason
Next I went to meet Craig Charles from Red Dwarf/Coronation Street. I didn't have to queue for him as a lot of people had walked off after being told to move by the stall next door! He was really friendly and was laughing and joking with everyone!
I then went to join the queue to meet Stephanie Beacham which was pretty much snaking around the whole building! I think I waited 20 minutes to see her but she was so worth it! She's so kind and friendly and was laughing about the amount of chocolates her fans had brought for her!
After meeting Stephanie I went to get a subway meal while I waited for Sally Geeson & Amanda Barrieto get back from lunch but on the way I stopped to get a photo signed by Robert Vaughn A kind lady behind me in the queue offered to take some photo's for me and they turned out great!
Back from lunch I met Sally Geeson from Bless This House. She was very sweet and friendly even though a random guy was talking over her the whole time she was trying to talk to me and hadn't even paid to meet her
Finaly I went to meet Amanda Barrie I met her last year but Selise asked me to get her autograph for her husband and I gladly obliged as it gave me a reason to meet her again I love Amanda! She is absolutely hilarious in the flesh, I just love her! As it was just after lunch, she had quite a queue. Her assistant was trying to rush the signing but she just kept everyone there chatting for ages She remembered me from last year and was talking to me like an old friend, even telling me she had twisted her ankle and was debating whether to keep her shoe on or not Thank you Selise for giving me an excuse to see her again {thumb2}
After meeting her I went to catch my shuttle train back to New Street station and I only just made it coz I couldn't get away from Amanda
All in all, an awesome day {thumb2}
