2007 Blackpool Film Convention Possibilities ?

[LanceM]

Hello All,

Just saw an add on ebay for tickets to a rather interesting sounding convention. They even have a guest actor from Dr Who appearing "Shane Rimmer". The add for the convention states there will be lots and lots of dealer tables presenting new and second hand films for sale in all sizes and gage's, including 8mm,16mm, and 35mm ! Might be a good prospect for finding something, states is a foremost source of genuine TV and film memorabilia. Have a look for yourself, price for tickets is small as well. If someone could vouch for going and checking the tables would be much appreciated, as it seems like a good prospect, at least would be interesting to hear of Mr.Rimmer's time on Doctor Who:

Cheers, Lance.

Ah... Blackpool - home of Darren Gregory. No, I doubt you'll find your missing Dr Who films there, Lance.

I doubt it as well, just wanted to let people know about this convention, sounds like fun.

I'm sure there'll be lots of TV memorabilia and maybe even some film copies of old TV shows. I don't think anyone should go in the hope of finding missing material, BBC or otherwise. I know that 'The Faceless Ones' 3 and 'The Evil of the Daleks' 2 were found in a car boot sale at a film fair, but that was over 20 years ago.

Besides - I've never particularly enjoyed Blackpool. Last time I was there I had a terrible time - I found it freezing cold (it was the middle of summer!), tacky and hugely overpriced.

Can I just ask... What on earth did Shane Rimmer actually do in Doctor Who?

He played Seth Harper in The Gunfighters.
