Life On Mars and John Simm: Suitable for Framing!

IT’S BACK!!!!!!

The autographed Life On Mars photo signed by the Cast that my sis presented to me after winning it at the The Railway Arms Meetup Charity Auction is back and now framed! I LOVE IT!!! Thank you Wibble so very much for making the rounds to get the cast signatures (…and thanks to the cast themselves!). Wibble, I’d love to have you post your story of getting all the signatures since I believe you said it took from Feb of this year up until the Thursday just before the meet?!? Huge thanks to my dear sister Theresa and special thanks to The Railway Arms for such an opportunity to revel in Life On Mars fandom! Basically, it’s a pure LOVE fest from me to all of you {MWAAAHH}.

First, here’s the story of how the autographs were gathered as told by Clarey and wibble from The Railway Arms:

Clarey (September 24, 2007) – “I’m trying to remember the dates and the places that the cast photo was signed. I think Phil was the first to sign it at the Macmillan Cancer charity do the 21st April, then I think Liz signed it the same day when we waited for her after her play Dying for It. I not too sure when John signed it – I think Wibble got it done on the opening night of Elling – was that the 9th May? I know Marshall signed it on 9th June in York when he met us after a performance of Wuthering Heights.

Deano was the last to sign it, but I’m not too sure of the date – it was only a couple of days before the actual meet-up while he was down in London. Maybe Wibble can fill in the rest of the gaps, or someone else can confirm the dates?

whatever – it took some doing and I don’t think there will ever be another one like it again.”

wibble (September 24, 2007) – “Blimey Clarey you are good with dates! I’ve just checked my diary and the Elling premiere at the Bush was on 25th April so John would have signed it then. Deano was the last to sign – I remember the date (30 August) as it was my friend’s 40th birthday and so after meeting Mr Andrews I had to take the cast photo, signed dvd and a rather gorgeous A4 sized signed photo of Dean to my friend’s birthday dinner in a central London restaurant. I was paranoid about losing the bag – and at one stage I had it so securely wedged underneath my chair that I temporarily lost track of it – there then followed a few minutes of sheer panic before I located it again. Phew!

So all in all it started out in Nottingham, then went to Walthamstow, Sheen, Islington, Shepherds Bush, York, Bermondsey, W1, Ealing and finally Manchester. And now it’s found a home in California. That photo could probably claim Air Miles!

MeShelley the photo looks fantastic in that frame! Great colour choice ;D“

And finally, although not actually part of the TRA/LOM meet I did have another pic that I felt was more than suitable for framing! Of course it’s from after Elling on 5 Sep.
