UFO CON - review

Here is a review if the recent Derby SHADO CON...

Keith Alexander appeared live by Skype link-up from his home in Australia. He recalled Roy Thinnes on Doppelganger as being one of the more affable and co-operative American stars and revealed that his only souvenir of UFO was the white SHADO socks he had worn throughout production. The idea of Skype interviews might set something of a precedent for Conventions – why schlep actors halfway across the country when you can talk to them from their spare bedroom?


Why indeed...

Makes it a bit harder to get an autograph but I guess it's better than nothing!

Yes, it's not the same thing, now is it...

I recall going to a Fanderson convention 17 years ago, and some of the most memorable parts were being within a few feet of Gabrielle Drake, Ed Bishop, Gerry Anderson, etc.

Contents of S.H.A.D.O.CON 'goody bag'.  All excellent.  Particularly LOVE photos of the 'spoof' merchandise - UFO annuals, paperbacks, badges and records.  Very imaginative and very well done.  If I didn't know better, I'd swear these were REAL.  All in all... F.A.B.  

Wow, look at all that stuff!  Maybe this will show up eBay someday... :-)
