Sucky news sucks.

No Doctors this year, sorry... there are only four that do conventions, and we've had all of them in the past 5 years (just had Colin and Sylv in the past two). Probably for 2010...
We will still likely be announcing one or two additional DW/Torchwood related guests, as well as some other locals. We're actually shying away from the local signing actors this year (barring a small handful) because we've done that, and they appear at every autograph convention; instead, we're focusing more on local creative talent like writers and illustrators. Unfortunately, we're also running out of room with all the programming we're doing, so there won't be that many more...
That makes me very, very, very, very sad. But there you go.
