Collectormania - mixed emotions :-/

Unread post by margotchanning »

Today I went to Collectormania in Milton Keynes to meet my idol Philip Glenister who plays Gene Hunt in Life On Mars & Ashes To Ashes. I love the guy!

I arrived at 11:45 and rushed to get my Philip Glenister photoshoot ticket as soon as I arrived as I knew he was due 12:00 - 12:30. I had my photo taken with him which absolutely made my day but stupidly, I wandered around the stalls for a while before getting my autograph ticket {down} Unfortunately, he was so popular that by the time I purchased a ticket, I was looking at an hour's wait to meet him and I couldn't stay as I had my bus to catch :cry: I was really disappointed but I'll write to him now {love}

I also met
Geoffrey Hughes from Keeping Up Appearances/Coronation Street/Heartbeat - He was a lovely, friendly man and definitely softened the blow of not meeting Philip!

Bob Anderson (Dart Player) He was really down to Earth but most Darters are. They're just ordinary blokes :lol:

{??} Bobby George {??} My idol was there so I went over to say hi! He remembered playing Darts against me at Leicester and joked around with me. I love the guy! He even gave me a signed photo for free {thumb2}

On the way out I had my photo taken with Gene Hunt's Audi from Ashes to Ashes. I thought about stealing it but decided to take the bus instead :lol:

Philip Glenister's photo was a proffesional shot so I'll get that in the mail when it's developed!

Congrats! I was there too and I also had a professional photo with Philip. He's a great signer and you should definitely be able to get a success from him in the post. Good luck!

You took your picture with Onslow :lol:

Loved that show Keeping up Appearances.

Looks like you still had a good day though, too bad you missed your most wanted.
