Day two of the Sci-if Ball and after a nice big fry up breakfast we settled into the main hall to listen to our favourite guests.
Gary Graham
The day started with a talk by Gary Graham who is best known (to us!) for his role as Ambassador Soval in Enterprise.

Gary spoke about how he got the part of Soval and thought he was going to be a one-off appearance in the pilot episode.
He also spoke to Rick Berman for a briefing on how Vulcans think, feel and behave.

Highlight: Gary has a great sense of humour and is a complete contrast to Soval. So it was extra delightful when he went full on Vulcan at the end of the talk and give us the customary Vulcan greeting.
