Date: 30th July 2008
Location: Empire Cinema, Leicester Square, London
OFFICIAL BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!
It was totally worth standing/sitting around waiting for four hours, sunstroke and defying the laws of personal space.
2:00PM - ARRIVED AT THE RED CARPET
3:00PM - WAITING
4:00PM - STILL WAITING
5:00PM - YOU GUESSED IT
6:00PM - OMG IT'S TIME, TIME TO START HYPERVENTILATING
With camera in one hand and poster and sharpie pen in the other I met the stars of my favourite TV show The X-Files. David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz.
DD
David was looking damn fine, as usual. He was wearing a beigey coloured suit so you could always spot him out from everyone one else on the red carpet wearing black suits. He spent a lot of time with the fans but was more serious than GA + CC if you know what I mean. DD signed my poster which nearly made me spontaneously combust. He took it from my hand, signed it and then tried to hand it back to the wrong person. "I'M HERE!" I shouted flailing my free arm at him, he finally realised, gave it back to me and I said "THANKYOU." (The signed poster is the last photo, DD signed next to bad photshop face Mulder on the left.)
GA
Gillian looked so beautiful, (I know right, what's new?). She was also really nice and smiley and was really talkative with the fans. She was wearing this really nice dress and looked great considering she's close to being heavily pregnant. GA also signed my poster, bless her she didn't have a pen, so she asked to borrow my sharpie (she spoke to ME!) and of course i nodded like a drooling fool but someone else thrusted her a pen and she took theirs instead. (GA signed next to the picture of Scully on the right handside.)
CC
Chris was so nice, he did a couple of interviews and the spent the rest of the time with the fans. He was smiling the whole time (as you will see from my pics) and he signed my poster! (His signature is bottom left.) I know, how amazing is it that i was in arms reach of all three and got all three signatures (It's because I was wearing my lucky pants) :D
FS
The closest Frank got was about five metres (i only got one picture of him while he was being interviewed.) I don't think he came over to the fans at all. Bless him he probably thought the fans didn't care about him enough. He spent the whole time doing interviews then realised that DD, GA and CC had already gone into the cinema and quickly exited.
One word to some up the day: SQUEE (ok, so i cheated that's a noise)
AND NOW, THE ONLY REASON YOU'RE HERE... THE PHOTOS

they're not great quality due to wandering elbows and there are lots of funny facial expressions but they do show how close they actually were.
For all you Big Brother fans out there i also saw Samanda and Chanelle from BB but unfortunately my camera conked out... *cough cough*
