Among the stars who had queues of fans waiting in line for autographs, selfies and meet-and-greet moments were two former Doctor Whos, Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann; the son of a Doctor Who, Gotham star Sean Pertwee; Gotham's young Bruce Wayne, David Mazouz; Hollywood star and Titanic villain Billy Zane; Harry Potter star and TV personality Warwick Davies; and Sherlock and Bond villain Andrew Scott.

Among Saturday's highlights during Q and A sessions was David Mazouz being persuaded to do an impromptu Batman rap by Gotham co-star Welsh actress Erin Richards.

But the straight-talking actor, currently a regular in Holby City, admitted that Grant's character, the hard-drinking Withnail, would probably have died before reaching his 60s.
