Yes, that's right, I saw THE Rob Shearman. And you can see him here too:
Can't see him? He's the blob on the right.
Anyway, not being able to see him didn't matter too much, because a few minutes after he came on stage, they started playing Dalek, so the lights went down and he commentated over that. [Interesting story: the organisers originally thought they were just going to screen the story with him on only at the beginning and the end. Oo-er.] Lots of interesting things were revealed, and I really hope we get a true behind the scenes look at what really happened some day.
After the talk, there was the signing. I got his X-Files book and two Big Finish audios signed. He knew who I was from the reviews I did, which he claimed were 'insightful'. I claim he was being polite. But definitely he's a nice fellow.
An opinion further strengthened by going out for dinner with him and others afterwards! Yeah, I know people. Many secrets were revealed, which I won't repeat here... and won't remember later to be able to pass them on. As I said, we really need the true behind the scenes details.
He's talking again on Wednesday, so see him if you have the time. Me, I'm working, but I'm glad I took the time out to see him talk about Doctor Who.

He was indeed. Remembered me from the DiscCon Guide and said lots of very flattering things about it, and of course Wellington.
Sad that I missed the meal and the 'meat' of the meet, as it were, but I'm also glad I missed my bus to grab five minutes with a rather affable and self-deprecating (in the nicest way) bloke. Who is also dead clever.
