It's fun to read your reports I wish that I would live in England instead of this peripherial Finland! I've been reading your reports now for a while so it has helped me to realize that even actors are real human beings and the game in collecting signatures in premieres. So thanks, I suppose And keep up the good work!

I am from Finland and I love collecting movies & tv-shows and autographs from people I admire!
I was there, too. My first premiere in London (since I'm from Germany and usually going to ones in Berlin) and definitely a very exciting one.
I btw had the impression that Jena was being nice, when I saw her, it always seemed to me like she was doing her best to please the fans and she did sign many autographs, just not everywhere... inbetween interviews, she waved to us a few times and before she had to go into the cinema, we called for her and she came over, while she was being rushed by like publicists who also said she had no time, but she still signed a few in our section, but then skipped some (including me...) and stopped signing, still telling us how "sweet" we are and how sorry she is that she had to get in on time. It was really late when she did that, so although I didn't even get her, I thought she was very nice and your experience surprised me a bit.
I was positively surprised by Liam, I didn't really expect him to sign since he refused to sign at many events and premieres earlier this year (at least that is what I heard), but I agree with you and think he probably signed everywhere and posed for many photos.
And at least, since she signed so fast, Jennifer also managed to sign tons of autographs. My problem was just that she is like my favourite actress and I had never met her before and I was so excited and stunned when she was finally infront of me (plus I didn't really see her coming, because Willow was just to my left while Jennifer was coming from the right) that I wasn't able to get the picture out I wanted to have signed... lol But that was definitely my fault and I'm still happy that I finally saw Jennifer in person and she was nice.

Liam I've never heard a bad word about, both him & Chris are great when it comes to signing.
I just found Jena's excuse of she was late for the start of the film when Jennifer, Liam, Josh, Sam, Elizabeth & Francis weren't in a bit silly. There was a good 45/50 minutes between her going in and the film starting, which to me is poor show.
Yeah, I understand and agree that Jena's "excuse" wasn't a good one and not true, but as I said, it just surprised me to hear she said that and didn't sign at that time where you were, because she seemed so honestly nice to me.
