There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

I think that if the worst thing we can say about Mr Eccleston is that he was inconsistent about how he viewed money and its relationship to his craft, I think we're well ahead of the pack.

If this isn't paper gossip & he's truly charging £95 a autograph then shame on you Chris, that's taking the p..s on the hard working fans, personally never been a fan of his so my fandom can easily survive without his autograph. Paper gossip?! It's from the Cons own website. As for taking the piss, it seems CE is dammed if he does and dammed if he doesn't. But above all else, does CE owe people anything? Is there any, none commercial, reason why he *shouldn't* charge £10,000 per signature if he wanted? If that's what he wants to charge, and people are willing to pay, and it's a service/item no one needs or is essential, so (again other than commercial concerns) what possible reasons exist for saying Chris should or should not charge whatever price he wants? Paper gossip, sometimes these things are taken out of context & i currently have far pressing matters in my life to deal with than reading a official Con website, no he doesn't owe anybody anything but Oh i dunno maybe it would be nice not to charge a obscene amount for a scribble on a photo & that goes for any actor not just Chris, but i forgot that in today's world greed is good & i forgot how little money actor's make.

It's a completely different environment now, for better or worse. All the cons have become bigger, more professional, more crowded and more overpriced. It's not particularly my sort of thing, but I won't begrudge Eccleston or McCoy charging that much if people are willing to pay it.

Yup, completely agree my friend, my convention days are long gone, with my mental health issues & social phobia i couldn't cope in such a overcrowded environment.
