The Saturday started off rather well, we had all arrived the previous night, apart from our Rory, at the Travel Lodge at the airport and in the morning we all piled into a taxi and got to the NEC around half eight. We were all dressed up as different characters from Doctor Who. We had a Donna, a ninth Doctor, a eleventh Doctor, Miss Frizzy was Lucy Saxon and I was, once again, Harold Saxon. Once we got in we headed quickly over to the photo area and got all the pictures we needed for the day. After that it was just a matter of having a nice wander before it filled up. Once the photos started I for one, was rushed off my feet. Everyone I had a photo with was lovely though; ranging from Kai Owen (Rhys from Torchwood) to Sir Derek Jacobi (The Master). They were all lovely people. My only problem is that the Only Fools and Horses photo shoot was held up by over half an hour due to the staff not capping the autograph ques for ages.
After I had all the photo shoots done me, Miss Frizzy and Uncle-of-Mine rushed out of the hall and headed towards where a load of different Doctor Who cosplayers were filming a 500 Miles music video. With that done we made our way back inside the main hall and killed the time a little until it closed. At that point we departed back to our hotel for food, drink and general merriment. After we'd had food we all decided to do a little fan-filmed episode featuring the Doctor, Rory (who joined us that day) and the Master with a cameo from the 9th Doctor and Donna. Much amusement was taken from the filming and I'm sure the bloopers will far outstrip the actual finished product.
