At the Festival there are many events happening at the same time and over the weekend, so you get to pick and choose what you want to do at any hour of the day. Each guest takes part in a fully researched interviews and Q&A session; there are also workshops, autograph sessions, Friday night games, the Saturday night Cult TV Awards and Sunday Night star cabaret, episode screenings (in two dedicated 24 hour video rooms), a fan strand, quizzes, merchandise dealers, discussion groups, different themed parties each night, a free 36 page event brochure etc.
Our guests are now up to 26 and include four from the world of comedy:

He has had a distinguished acting career that included the role of Doctor Constantine in the 2005 series of Doctor Who in episodes 'The Empty Child' and 'The Doctor Dances'. Richard’s appearance is rarity and would be a great chance to meet him and hear him talk about his career.
