Other shows lending some of their stars include Ashes to Ashes, Being Human, Blade Runner, Harry Potter and Life on Mars.

There’s a great excuse for a big Star Wars party as this year marks the 30th anniversary of the release of The Empire Strikes Back. Be careful, though, as one of the participants is scary old Darth Vader, aka Dave Prowse, himself.

As if that wasn’t enough, legendary World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Mike Tyson is due to take a bow on Sunday.

Star-spotting isn’t the only game in town as there will also be demonstrations of comic artists at work, plenty of props to gawp at and a chance to dress up in real costumes from the films and shows.

London Film and Comic Con is open from 11am-6pm on Saturday and 11am-5pm on Sunday. Adult tickets are £5 on the door.
