There are no selfies/photographs in the autograph studio to ensure queues move along as there is a lot to get through over the weekend.
Photograph studio: Some actors will be grouped together to provide value for money, and the studio will have a full-size Hartnell-era Tardis console to have your photo taken with. The professional photographer charges £20 for an A4 print supplied in a card protective cover. For clarity, the photo is £20 regardless of the number of attendees and guests in the shot, so for example you and a friend could be photographed with thee guests and the price for the photo will still be £20, payable directly to the photographer.
Schedules: As there are always last-minute adjustments, schedules will not be available prior to the event. Regenerations will have multiple activities taking place simultaneously throughout the weeken, so come prepared to be busy! Guests: You will have multiple opportunitis for autographs/photos/talks over the weekend, so please respect the guests' privacy when they are socialising in the public area, though by all means say hello.
Please have a fantastic time and we look forward to welcoming you soon.
