Okay I had been meaning to post my previous in person successes every Sunday, but I think I will just do them at random for the moment, all these where obtained at the same venue over a course of a couple of years, I haven't included the Extras because they had been done previously and these are not in any order.
Sue Holderness, who played Marlene in Only Fools and Horses was absolutely lovely she not only signed the back cover to the fourth series but also my OFAH book (which I'll get to at a later date)
Ruth Madoc, I recall I met the same night as Holderness and a fair few others - she was another who was absolutely lovely, she signed 2 DVD covers for me, I loved Hi-De-Hi growing up so it was a no-brainer to get this, also Under Milk Wood, is something I studied in school and having grown up in Wales as a link to me, it also serves the memory of the teacher showing this movie and accidentally showing us the scene of a woman showing her breasts - who turned out to be Ruth Madoc - and she even talked about this scene with me!
These both where actually obtained at 2 different times, the Birds Of A Feather was first and she was nice enough, whilst the second one was the Holderness/Madoc same time (I got a fair few that night) and again was nice enough and seemed surprised that I had Lost Dogs.
Todd Carty was another person who fell into the nice enough category, he did signed 2 things for me this night (an Eastenders book).
I knew David Janson was in 'Allo 'Allo saw took my book but I was IMDB and discovered he was actually the little boy in the Ringo depressed scene in A Hard Day's Night, he seemed thrilled that I knew him from both things.
I mentioned Gareth Hale already in the Extras section, he signed 3 that night, not the most outgoing but at least he signed.
Robert Duncan was another cool guy, liked my name, this would look cool with some other names on it.
Andrew Duncan and Sue Devaney where actually doing a stage production of Dinnerladies and left together so it was incredibly easy. Both where extremely friendly (both also signed my Coronation Street book, which both appeared in). Both clearly had a lot of love for Victoria Wood (R.I.P.)
I realize I have no scan of Billy Liar signed by Helen Fraser, so will add that soon.
