Shaun Williamson - Eastenders

Shaun Williamson - Eastenders: 20 Years in Albert Square signed book

Shaun Williamson played Barry Evans for 10 years (94-04).

This book plans to be part of an ongoing project which will hopefully include the additions of more Eastenders autographs and my early plan is to turn it into some sort of interesting autograph scrapbook...

Superbad

Superbad - signed 10x8

Signed by the two leads...
  • Michael Cera (Evan)
  • Jonah Hill (Seth)

Superbad is a very funny movie, produced by the ever impressive Judd Apatow - who helped give the world Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, Knocked Up, The 40 Year Old Virgin and Anchorman among others - Superbad tells the story of two best friends over one night trying to get beer to take to a party they found themselves invited too, I think whilst films like Trojan War got their a lot earlier, none of the films in this similar vein managed to be as funny.

Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode - signed index card

As well as getting both Mayo and Kermode on my ticket print out, I got them individually on an index card I'd brought with me, which both where very kind to sign without hesitation. Mayo I should point out constantly shared his popcorn out with the audience, which was a cool gesture (which reminds me I'm going to do a list of the nicest and worst celebrities I have ever met very soon).

Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode

Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode - signed show ticket print out

Radio 5 came to Hull for Octoberfest in 2009, and I got tickets for one of the shows, Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode's show which was held on the 23rd of October at the VUE Cinema, I got a print out of the ticket I had to show and managed to get Mayo and Kermode, plus also all their special guests, this is everyone...
  • Simon Mayo
  • Mark Kermode
  • musician and composer Nitin Sawhney
  • comedian and singer Mitch Benn
  • Five Live's John Murray
  • former Olympic Bronze medal winning swimmer Steve Parry
  • former rugby league player Craig Murdoch - who played for both my local teams Hull FC and Hull KR, as well as Wigan
  • BBC Radio Humberside sports editor Dave Burns.
Just a cool memento, and it seemed like I'm the only person who can claim at the entire recording who get everybody involved in the on air side of things.

Jeffrey Tambor - Arrested Development

Jeffrey Tambor - Arrested Development signed 10x8

I believe this is from Arrested Development, but I won't feel embarrassed if I am corrected on this.

Arrested Development (if it was from this) is one of the most sitcoms to come out of the USA in like forever.

Ron Silver - Mr. Saturday Night

Ron Silver - Mr. Saturday Night signed 10x8

Ron Silver in his role from Mr. Saturday Night.

Other work includes Reversal of Fortune, Timecop, Ali and the television series Veronica's Closet.

Ron Silver passed away in 2009.

Jonathan Pryce - Brazil

Jonathan Pryce - Brazil signed 10x8

Brazil is a fantastic movie. Whilst 1984 is an amazing book, it's never got transferred to the screen quite so brilliantly. Brazil set in a similar world to 1984 is an amazing film.

Jonathan Pryce, who has rarely been a leading man - and his perhaps best known to most audiences as Keira Knightley's father in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies or as the baddie in Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies - shines here.

So...

No new autographs recently, mean no new blog entries on Rob the Autograph Geek, it's the way it goes on here though, hopefully this will be sorted out this month and can actually add some items to my collection.
