Norwich Sci Fi Festival 2010

[Col]

Well the twins finally got round to sending me my photos. I forgot to take my camera which was a huge burden so I had to use theirs, but that meant that I could only use it when they were around. It also meant that I didn't get as many photos as I'd like. If it was my camera, I'd be snapping away at everything.

It was a really good day and I had lots of fun and a nice chat with some of the celebs, as well as a few Darleks. If I had my own camera, there would e pictures of the Darleks, the Storm Troopers, Spiderman, Batman, the Thunderbirds ships, Predator and the rest of the celebs. But anyway, I thought it'd be nice to share the photos I did get with you.

Me and David Prowse MBE, aka Darth Vader. You can tell by our jumpers who is on the light and dark side. Never before has the Force been so strong. :)

The twins got their brother to take this one, so from the left going clockwise, we have R2, me, D2 and R2-D2.

And before you ask: no. It's remote controlled. There is no-one inside, although Kenny Baker was there. I got his autograph.

Rimmer's not a hologram anymore! Annoyingly, I also forgot my Mr Flibble hand puppet, which I wanted to be in this photo. When I got home he was very cross indeed.

Me with Norman Lovett (Holly). Most of the celebs seemed to want to get through as many of their fans as quickly as possible, signing autographs as quickly as possible. Norman though, was a much nicer chap to meet, with lots to say and it was great to meet him.

And the signed posters:

I got other signed things, but can't really show those at the moment. They're staying hidden away until Christmas, for other family members.

AWESOME! - So jealous - Did David Prowse regale you with the amusing "Haemorrhoids do not concern me..." anecdote - He seems to trot it out whenever he can :/

looks like a great day out.

[Col]

No he didn't. All he really said was "Who should I make this out to?"

[scottmac]

Norman Lovett's looking old, but I suppose Red Dwarf started 20 years ago now, hard to believe. Nice snaps though

[Col]

I never realised that Norman was the oldest in the Red Dwarf crew. I thought Robert Llewellyn was older!

[M4T VW]

Yeah, None of the RD people have changed much but Holly has aged quite a bit!

[Smifis]

I wish I could have came, DAMN YOU COLLEGE! :lol:

[Broadsword1976]

I can't believe the size of David Prowse's hands..looks like he could knock out a cow with one punch.

[Delta Whiskey]

Thanks for sharing, I am so jealous.

Did David Prowse regale you with the amusing "Haemorrhoids do not concern me..." anecdote - He seems to trot it out whenever he can :/is that the real reason he was banned from Star Wars conventions?
