An August Double

Craig 'n' Chris at the Sheffield Film & Comic-Con.

22 August, 2014

If you've got a hankering to get your picture taken with members of the Red Dwarf cast this year, and you somehow didn't manage to make it along to the Sci-Fi Ball in Bournemouth, BritSciFi in Leicester, EM-Con in Nottingham, Sci-Fi Scarborough, the Wales Comic-Con, the UK Games Expo in Birmingham, the MCM London Comic-Con, the MCM Belfast Comic-Con, Sci-Fi By The Seaquel in Herne Bay, or the MCM Manchester Comic-Con... well, to be brutally honest, we'd say it was probably your own fault for missing all those chances.

Fortunately, the good people at Showmasters, who already ran several of the above-named conventions, are a lot more forgiving than we are, and so they have yet another UK event lined up on their schedule. It's the Sheffield Film and Comic-Con, and it takes place at the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield on Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st August. And the Red Dwarf guests involved? Oh, just none other than Craig Charles and Chris Barrie, no big deal at all, really...

Craig and Chris will be doing the usual sort of turn at these events - that is to say, sitting behind a table for most of the day waiting for you to come up and get an autograph from them. But if you want to, you can also book a photoshoot with either of them during specially-scheduled professional sessions. Craig will be there both days, but Chris is only attending on the Saturday.

Unfortunately it's no longer possible to pre-book entry tickets on the day, but if you get along early enough on either day, you should be able to pick up tickets on the door.

Although we're coming to the end of the usual summer blitz of conventions, it's likely that the gang will still be out and about for the odd event in the final quarter of the year, as well. As ever, as soon as we have details of any more events, we'll let you know!
