I went to the Baftas tonight

Apr 20, 2008 23:57

I queued for over seven hours to get a glimpse of some of my favourite actors, and it paid off. I got autographs from John Hurt, Matthew MacFadyen, David Morrisey, Keeley Hawes, Philip Glenister, Graham Norton, and Ross Kemp kind of grabbed my autograph book so I had no choice on that one. I also got Adrian Pasdar to sign my book, and as Trevor Eve ( Read more... )

OMFG I'm so jealous of you right now!!

That's sooooo awesome that you got to meet Matthew MacFadyen! I would have died of happiness if he talked to me. The same with David Morrisey. I adored him in "Sense & Sensibility". Darcy and Colonel Brandon together! My heart would explode.

Too bad about John Simm. Maybe he was having a bad day. :(

I'm glad that you had a great time. Thanks for sharing the pics too!

Yeah I hope it was just hope it was a bad day for John Simm too as I like him. Lol yes, Dan Stephens who played Edward Ferrars was there too, he was like a flash of lightening, he was gone so quick, I think he thought no one would recognise him, I did, but I forgot what his name was, so I couldn't call out, lol

Oh wow! That must have been an amazing experience! It paid of waiting for seven hours, even though you're now exhausted lol :D

It was great, still tired today though. I think it is going to take me a couple of days to recover. :)

Lucky you!! And Matthew MacFadyen--dreamy sigh.

On Ross Kemp: I used to watch EE here in the Bay Area and I guess it's something of a tribute to him that I'd worry I might give him a kick in the shins because Grant Mitchell used to infuriate me! Heh. (Our episodes are years behind the UK so only saw him up til he left EE in 1999.)

Yes, his character used to treat Tiffany like crap, and being Richard armitage fan, his character in Ultimate Force killed Richard's character and put him in a freezer lol.

He has made some interesting documentaries, in quite dangerous circumstances, I found one of two of those interesting.

Lol no, he is a big fan of top gear then? I am sure I missed a few people, some look so different out of character.

Oooooooooooo! That is wicked awesome. Some nice pix, too!

Thanks, it really was a lot of fun, I am thinking of braving it again next year, and my other daughters want to go too next time

If only my mother would do that kind of thing with me.
