Me again with another link to the BBC's website. Honestly this is NOT what I do for a living.

This article is about Hamlet, and is a reveiw of the performances, focusing on David Tennant (obviously)

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7540819.stm

Please excuse my hysterical laughter over the Burger King Crown that he's wearing in the first picture. I just love it so much.

Oh, and also there are three other links on the side bar showing reviews from critics and regular people.
 

 A good reason to go to a Literature festival. 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7541602.stm

Mind you as a librarian I have to say going to a Literature festival is a good thing on it's own. 

Remember kiddies, I'm about to be live on air at www.dtrn.co.uk as a special guest presenter...

Listen to me talk about things including the Doctor Who comic and finale!

Featuring guest presenter Freema Aygeman, RTD interview and hitherto unseen clips from the season finale.

( SPOILERY, of course. )

Just finished listening to John's interview on my local radio station and found out there is a meet-and-greet tomorrow, June 17, here in Toronto, Canada. It's at the CBC on Front St, starting at 12 noon. Details at John's site.

http://www.johnbarrowman.com/news/newsindex.html

He gave us a shoutout and specifically said to come out "even if you're a Doctor Who or Torchwood fan" (the publicity is for a reality show he's doing).

From David-Tennant.com by way of Facebook's David Tennant Page:

Hmm. Nobody on LJ seems to be talking about David Tennant's appearance last night on the series finale of Derren Brown's Trick or Treat.

Well, I have about 50 caps of him on that show at my journal with some spoilers, of course, if anybody wants to see them. It was quite an awesome ep!

Preview:

I don't know if this has been posted or discussed here yet, but stumbling upon John Borrowman's website, I learned that he is to make an appearance at comic con on July 24 and 25. Of course this has brought me immense joy. :D There aren't any details up yet, but here's the link..
And while we are on the subject, who else going to comic con?  There's supposed to be a Doctor Who gathering, complete with a tent TARDIS, and I am bringing Jelly babies to share.  It's going to be amazing. lol

First look at Christopher Eccleston as Destro in the new G.I. Joe movie

No.. I can't believe they're making one either.

Has this been posted before? I haven't seen it, but I'm not the most attentive person here, so I probably missed it:

After completely screwing us over with the Billie Piper "Top Gear" episode, BBC America is showing the "Top Gear" with David Tennant. And is actually showing the David Tennant part! I KNOW! SCARY!!

SF Universe Blog entry

BBC America preview video -- which points out that for "Top Gear" on this channel, this episode with the Tenth Doctor is Episode 10 of Season 10. Can't believe they went there. Well, wait, yeah, I can--!

The episode will be re-broadcast on the following dates--the interview with David is during the first half hour :

Saturday, May 3, 4 pm EST
Sunday, May 4, 11 am EST
Monday, May 5, 9 pm EST
Tuesday, May 6, 12 am EST
Saturday, May 10, 5 pm EST
Sunday, May 11 12 pm EST

If you have Comcast, you should be able to eventually get the episode ON DEMAND (probably next week); to find it, select the TV Entertainment bubble on the first screen, then BBC America, then Top Gear. Press the Info button to get a description of the episodes listed.

Forgive me if this is old news, but I was completely unaware of this.

According the The Press Association, David Tennant & Catherine Tate are to headline the Cheltenham Literature Festival to talk about their roles with the Royal Shakespeare Company and Doctor Who.

The Festival runs from October 10 to 19.

SFBall have announced Louise Jameson will be at the Reunion 6 convention in sepetember in Coventry!

Doctor Who at the Proms - music from and linked to the show

It's being hosted by Freema, with RTD and David helping out throughout (pre-recorded scenes). It will include music from the show (much like the Doctor Who Concert in Cardiff) and other classical music to do with space (i.e. The Planets etc).

edit: Nigel Kennedy playing the theme tune

WOW - yea, just wow!

Delivered to me by Slashdot. Sorry, I'm probably being too cautious but I don't know if this sort of thing is considered spoilery. I have to say, I'm pretty excited about it.

Brief article with links to interview with RTD where this guest star is mentioned: http://entertainment.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/04/08/009220

( So, who is it? )

During the joint interview about the new series of Doctor Who:

( Men = Pets )


( David on Autograph Hunters )

Pretty please.

I don't know how accurate it is, but I would LOVE Tom Baker to make a cameo appearance in DW.

For those of us in the UK... David Tennant hosts the Friday Night Project tonight!

(Just a friendly reminder)

Maybe we'll get some inside sneak peeks :P

The Series Four trailer that's been showing at cinemas across the UK (and appearing in dodgy hand-filmed versions online) will be making it's TV debut this Saturday (22nd) at around 7 pm, not Saturday 29th as was originally reported by the BBC DW site. The news story has since been altered to reflect the right date.

Apparently the new Radio Times has the trailer scheduled in a five minute slot at 7pm between 'Toy Story' and 'I'd Do Anything' as 'Doctor Who Series Four Preview'. The trailer will also be available online at the BBC Doctor Who website.

In other TV news, The Doctor himself, Mr David Tennant, will reportedly be hosting The Friday Night Project on Channel 4 (Friday 28th March) and will be appearing with his Runaway Bride co-star Catherine Tate, on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross on April 4th.

Clearly the publicity machine for series 4 is getting up and running...

Anyone watching "Masterpiece" tonight, they're showing Jane Austin's Mansfield Park with Billie Piper playing the role of Fanny.

a friend and I are going to see Aladdin (with John Barrowman) this Thursday in Birmingham.

She bought one extra ticket and has had a couple of people flake out on her, so I'm doing the dirty work and trying to find if anyone is interested in buying.

Information:

WHAT: Aladdin, starring John Barrowman with a guest appearance of the Daleks.
WHERE: Birmingham Hippodrome
WHEN: 2pm, Thurday 17th Jan
SEATS: Second row, slightly off centre
HOW MUCH: £22.50

Please email me at sweet.opal.fruits@gmail.com if you're interested.

I've cross posted this a few places, so apologies for any spammage.

Download of the Kylie Christmas Day Special, hosted on Radio One on Christmas Day. Includes a Tennant interview and general chat.

You may be able to hear it on here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b008hn1l depending on what part of the world you are in.

Are you a Doctor Who character? Are you concerned about whether you will live to the end of the story, or die a horrible death? Here's a useful indicator: are you played by Geoffrey Palmer?

Beacuse I'm sure some of us missed it! :)
Merry Christmas!
 

Ten-inch on Top Gear


Doctor Who star David Tennant has swapped his time-travelling Tardis for a less speedy mode of travel.



source: ONTD...not that I read it or anything. :P

So I'm home sick today and, while recuperating, I turn to my DVR and pull up a Nova episode I recorded titled: Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial about the Kitzmiller v Dover Trial

Anyway, when I get to the (re-enacted) trial sequences, who should be playing one of the Plaintiffs' attorneys but Eric Loren (a.k.a. Mr Diagoras)!

I was watching "Spiceworld" with a friend today while we were procrastinating for finals. I had seen it many times before; I was nine when it came out and was completely obsessed. I noticed that Naoko Mori, the actress who plays Tosh is in the movie as the girls pregnant friend. Here is a youtube clip. She comes in around 1:30. Such a different character than Tosh :D. This is probably old meme for lost of people, but I was amused.

The same friend and I were also discussing this question. If you could travel with any Doctor, which one would you travel with? I think for me, maybe Five. I love Nine and Ten, but think it'd be easier without the Gallifrey Angst. I also think it'd be fun to be on the TARDIS with Five, Nyssa and Tegan.

Three minutes into "Learners" there's an unexpected (for me) additional treat!

 http://community.livejournal.com/___spaced/276910.html

First Id seen of this so I thought Id post.  Mmmm nerdy Tennant and dear Miss Jessica.

Over the past few days, I have been subjected to honest-to-goodness totally random appearances of Christopher Eccleston on my television.

I just finished reading Jude the Obscure and, finding that there was a recent movie version of it, I rented it. Guess who's in it?

Then a movie that I wanted to see for a while, Elizabeth, appears and I record it. And I'm watching, and CE pops up.

And then on the Independent Film Channel, a film that I'd heard good things about, Let Him Have It. I record it, I watch it. Once again he's there.

Now this is a little bit too random for an American to spot a British actor in 3 totally different movies in less than 2 days, yes?

I kept on waiting for the "Fantastic!" in all three films, but it wouldn't fit. :P

I have just had a bad case of *fangirl* when I got to meet copious Daleks & Nicholas Briggs at the theatre this evening! :o)

If anyone is interested in seeing a few random Dalek photos and such... see here! :o)

I am watching Nicholas and Alexandra on Turner Classic Movies and just got a bit freaked out when I recognized it was Tom Baker who was playing Rasputin by his voice. You certainly can't tell it's him by the way he looks in this movie.

Elisabeth Sladen will be signing copies of THE SARAH JANE ADVENTURES audiobooks (THE GLITTERING STORM and THE THIRTEENTH STONE) at BORDERS (Oxford Street, London) on 27 October 2007 between 14:00 - 16:00.

Trailer for the Christmas Special of Ricky Gervais's Extras is embedded under the cut. If you watch it carefully, you may well spot someone you recognise: ( Read more... )

For those of you with wonky set-ups, the link might work better.

I've been meaning to post this all week, but haven't had/made the time.

While watching "CBS Sunday News" this past week, they had a segment on the theater and what's on Broadway. I chuckled aloud when they mentioned "King Lear" and showed a close up of Ian McKellen w/ Sylvester McCoy behind him looking all concerned. Of course, they only mention McKellen in the story.

Our noble founder, William Hartnell, will appear in two movies this month on Turner Classic Movies. The first is "The Peterville Diamond" tonight (Sept 17) at 10:30pm and 2:30am Eastern. The second is "The Dark Tower," Sept 24 at 10:45pm & 3:15am.

Like probably a lot of people here, I've seen all the YouTube clips available of John singing in various performances.

I really, *really* need to see this man perform live. I've just moved to New York City (well, northern Jersey, but still, close), and am entertaining the vague but fervent hope that a show he's performing in might come here.

Does anyone know of anything of that nature being thought of now? Or has it happened before?

I know that, as an actress, she wants to try new things.
Thank God, she's doing a 'grown-up' role! :D

(Just copying the post from the TimeGate yahoogroups email list.)


Hey folks! Just in time for Dragon*Con......

We're extremely ecstatic to be able to announce that our Doctor Who Guest of Honour for next year's TimeGate is none other than Sergeant Benton himself, JOHN LEVENE!

Though Mr. Levene is best known for his role as Sergeant Benton on Doctor Who from 1969 - 1975, the good Sergeant wasn't John's first role on the show. Nor his second. John first appeared (uncredited and unrecognizable) in the series in 1967's The Moonbase in the guise of a Cyberman. His first credited appearance was as a Yeti in 1968's The Web of Fear. He made his debut as Benton (then a Corporal) later the same year in the Cybermen epic The Invasion. Levene portrayed Sgt. Benton alongside three classic Doctors: Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, and Tom Baker. In addition to Doctor Who, Levene has appeared in series like Z-Cars, UFO, Adam Adamant Lives!, and Carry on Laughing. His recent work includes the role of Reverend Bernie Shanks in CanniBallistic! (2002) , as the Communications Captain in Automatons (2006) and is currently in preproduction on Satan Hates You, reprising his role as Bernie Shanks.

And....stay tuned for an announcement on our Stargate Guest of Honor, hopefully very soon!

And don't forget to get your membership this week while it's still $25! It goes up to $35 right after Dragon*Con! http://timegatecon.org/memberships.htm
