Beam Me Up, Scotty: The London Film And Comic Convention Is A Fan’s Dream Come True

Admin — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 10:34:38 +0000

After a long trip from Birmingham and standing in a queue for some considerable time, I wasn’t sure what to expect at the 2010 London Film and Comic Convention having never been to that kind of event before. I’d heard that a whole host of stars from the universe were going to be there, but would they be locked away in some basement room where only those few privileged with fat wallets would get to see them?

Although a sci-fi fan, I’m hardly a die hard fanatic that dresses up every weekend in a Starfleet uniform to go and meet at a friend’s place and play role play games. One of my fears was that I would stand out like a sore thumb in jeans, trainers and T shirt, surrounded by angry Jedi and other alien life forms, all hungry for the blood of a rather ordinary Englishman.

Thankfully, the day was nothing like that. With props galore, including the Batmobile from the ‘Dark Knight’ at the entrance doorway, and more stars on show than an average night sky in Birmingham, the day truly was a day rubbing shoulders with the stars.

At one point, I was standing, looking around, trying to make up my mind what and who to see next, when Admiral James T. Kirk himself walked right by me. At another point later in the day, I couldn’t believe my luck when I turned around to see David Prowse, the man behind the Darth Vader mask for the original Comic Book Movies like 3 Star Wars films standing right beside me.

The sheer amount of sci-fi memorabilia, actors and actresses from the likes of Farscape, Terminator 3, Big Trouble In Little China and Star Wars, not to mention the crowds of people, left me reeling at times, not knowing which way to turn next.

And yes, there were lots of people dressed up as every imaginable film and show character. Out of these, many were the shows’ official characters employed to ‘wow’the crowd, while others were fans who were out to have a great day.

Was it worth it and would I go to the convention again? Well, on the train home to Birmingham, feeling pretty tired after all the excitement of the day, I was already thinking ahead and planning to find out which other conventions were coming up in the year ahead. Maybe the day will come when I leave Mr Ordinary at home and, just for the day, transform into a raving lunatic; I mean, creature from another world.

All in all, I was pretty bowled over by the experience, especially by Wonder Woman on the Saturday. I’m hoping that if I’m ever in distress, maybe, just maybe, she’ll be the one that comes to my rescue.
