David Tennant’s Hamlet

David Tennant’s Hamlet has made it to CNN. Complete with one minor error, of course. (Remember that RTD said that the gap year was planned? David got to do Hamlet because of the gap year. They didn’t pause for a year so that he could do Hamlet.) I really hope that they film this for those of us who can’t be there. It’s very sold out, after all. (You can read some reviews here.)

John Barrowman recently participated in a show called The Making of Me. For the show, he went on a quest to discover why he was gay. Was it nature or nurture? If you are interested in going on this journey with him, head over to Youtube.

Both David Tennant and John Barrowman have made it to TVGuide.com’s list of The Sexiest Sci-Fi Stars! John came in at number 9, and David came in at 7 out of 15. Good to know that there are other folks out there that agree with me.

You all remember that Billie Piper is pregnant, right? Well, if you want to see a couple of (sort of stalkery) pictures of her…go here. You’re looking good there, Billie!

And finally…an extended trailer for the next Christmas Special (as shown at Comic-Con…and filmed there then put up on YouTube.)

A Bedtime Story with John Barrowman

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

Hello all! I’ve been surfing around on YouTube again, and I managed to dig up another of those Cbebbies Bedtime Stories with John Barrowman. This time he is reading a cute little story called: Fidget and Quilly. I quite enjoyed this video, especially because John is using both of his accents, one for each of the characters.

Torchwood Crew at Comic-Con

Friday, July 25th, 2008

Many thanks to the person who uploaded this to Youtube.

This is the very beginning of the Torchwood panel at San Diego Comic-Con, featuring John Barrowman, Julie Gardner, Gareth David-Lloyd, and Naoko Mori. It’s just the part where everyone comes out on stage, but I thought that I’d post it for those of us who are not in San Diego. Le Sigh. Oh, and just to let you know, apparently John’s family and his Partner were there.

The Master to Return?

Thursday, February 1st, 2007

master.jpg

So, Eric J, it looks like your dream may yet come true. A new rumour is making the rounds currently the The Master is due to return during season 3. (Maybe the last Dalek pulls him through time? Who knows?) Metro.co.uk is running an article that claims that The Master will re-appear during the third series in a major plot twist. The current favorite seems to be an actor by the name of John Simm. SyFy Portal is also carrying the story, with a few possible spoilers for series three in the article. Now, there is as yet no mention of this on the BBC Doctor Who Website… So, I guess that we’ll just have to see what happens. (Actually, this rumor isn’t all that new. It was around last season. It’s the addition of John Simm that is new.)
