We’re back from San Diego, exhausted, dehydrated, but still giddy from all the enthusiasm we felt from the BBC America fans we met. Here’s a happy snap from the Being Human autograph session last Friday. The BBC America booth was wedged between the Alien booth passing out free face-hugger masks and a very noisy and huge Lionsgate booth promoting The Expendables with action men dropping by throughout the days, but we still think OURS were the most enthusiastic crowds. As you can see, our talent lineup for Being Human was massive, so massive that creator Toby Whithouse didn’t fit into the shot. (By the way, Toby also wrote the Venetian vampire episode in this season of Doctor Who.) We also brought Robert Popper and Peter Serafanowicz and hundreds of highly-prized lab coats to promote Look Around You. Both DVDs were released the Tuesday before Comic Con began and most happily both (because we didn’t have to lug any stock back to New York) were sell-outs at the convention. Thanks to all who stopped by to say hello, ask questions, make suggestions and especially to shop. Hope to see you all next year.

I attended both the Look Around You and Being Human signings and panels. I also spent quite a bit of money at the BBC America booth.
Thanks so much for bringing over some of my favorite actors! If not for Comic Con, many of us would never have such a wonderful opportunity.
The only thing I’m slightly bummed about is not getting a picture with them. I wish I had known it was allowed.
Would like to see good quality dvds of Edgar Wallace novels I read back in the 30’s and 40’s such as The Dark Eyes of London, The Ringer, etc. There are some of these films available from various distributors but the visual and audio quality is invariably abysmal. Perhaps I should start rereading the Wallace books I purchased all those years ago, well over a hundred of them.
I had been arguing with my close friend on this issue for quite a while, base on your ideas prove that I am right, let me show him your webpage then I am sure it must make him buy me a drink, lol, thanks.
