Please:-
When in the weekend's schedule will UFO:1999 be shown?
Where can I get a more detailed schedule of the events?

You will usually get one when you arrive at the convention.

It is very unusual for any con to post it's programme before the
event. The programmes tend to be very 'fluid' just before the con and
organisors don't want to mislead attendees.

Katie's quite right. We've been working on the schedule for the
last couple of weeks, trying to fit in the guest interview
panels and the various episodes etc that we want to screen.

The programme is still fluid, and is likely to change
throughout the weekend as guests are suddenly unavailable, or other
more technical problems. The second update was mailed at the weekend
to everyone registered, which gives updated outline programme
times. Everyone will get a programme guide in their convention
package
when they arrive, which should be a good start for planning your
weekend.

However, for the record, UFO:1999 does not have a confirmed slot at
the convention, no matter what anyone may say. Kyle Clark has kindly
supplied two episodes that we can show, but as yet we haven't planned
them in. Due to the nature of the material (ie, they're funny), and
humour being very subjective, it's probably the kind of thing that
will go down better once everyone's had a drink or two.

You can be sure that we'll make sure the screening is advertised as
best we can once we know when we're showing it!

That's about it for now. Loads still to do before the weekend. Just
time to say that I look forward to meeting you all!!
