I went especially early and stayed until 12pm. I waited around and had a chat with the guy running the doctor who shoot who didn't know if Sylvester Mccoy was going to turn up or not. Norman Lovett from Red Dwarf seemed to be absent as well. The whole event resembled an indoor market, there were no events going, on or anything for gamers, or anything else to keep the kids entertained for more than 30 mins. The cos players who attended put a lot of effort into their costumes which was good, but the kids got bored and we ended up leaving. This would have been ok if it had been a free event, but considering I had to pay money to get in there should have been some celebrities speaking, as well as shows and entertainment.
