Obviously I won't be there as it's the same weekend as Thought Bubble in Harrogate. When that clash happens, London Comic Con Winter tends to go heavily on Doctor Who to compensate, as it's always around the date of the anniversary of the show 's original airdate in 1963. Sixty-two years this time. And you also get a bunch of Doctor Who-related comic book creators showing up, like Mike Collins, Kev F Sutherland and the like – including show organiser Tony Lee. It was Tony who came up to me to give me the big news about Ncuti. I had to tell him that it had been on the tannoy and the posters were already up. But at least now it's on Bleeding Cool…

The London Film and Comic Con are held twice a year in London and focus on films, cult television, gaming, anime, cosplay, and comics. Organised by Showmasters Ltd they are currently held at Olympia London near Hammersmith and Earl's Court. They also have smaller sisters shows to kick things off, called the London Comic Con, in the winter and spring. It all began in 2004 with the same company that organises the Autographica and Collectormania events. The convention holds a large dealers hall selling movie, comic, and science fiction-related memorabilia, and original film props, along with guest talks, professional photoshoots, autograph sessions, cosplay events, and displays.
