Thanks to Mkejenkins for the heads up

That’s right, folks. David Tennant’s time with the Royal Shakespeare Company has nearly arrived. He will be appearing in Love’s Labour’s Lost from 2 October to 15 November 2008 and in Hamlet from 24 July to 15 November 2008. Never have I wished more that I could win the lottery and/or that they would film these productions to show on the BBC. Sigh.

Heads up! Torchwood is up for a NewNowNext Award. Vote at will!

Interested in having your own wee TARDIS console and happen to have £325.00 lying around? Well, if so, you may wish to pre-order now. (And if you have an extra £325.00…buy one for me.)

I know that this isn’t directly Doctor Who related, but…Primeval will begin playing on BBC America on 2 August 2008 according to Variety. This show was originally created to compete with the SciFi coolness happening over on the BBC…and now it’s appearing on the same channel. Just thought that you lot would like to know. I quite enjoyed series one…

Freema Agyeman mentioned in a recent interview that she will be appearing in a BBC production of Little Dorrit, and that the filming should begin soon. I hope that she has all kinds of fun doing period drama, and that the production turns out to be a rousing success.

And speaking of Ms. Agyeman, according to the BBC Press Office during the BBC Proms 2008 music festival she will be hosting a very special “Prom.” The Press Office says - “A Doctor Who Prom, presented by Freema Agyeman (aka Martha Jones). A family concert featuring a specially filmed scene written by Russell T Davies and starring David Tennant, plus a selection of classical favourites with a strong flavour of time and space (27 July).” So, pencil in the date on your calendar. (Don’t worry. It looks like it will be available online.)

Oh, and speaking of the Proms…here is a fellow by the name of Nigel Kennedy from the Proms photocall, performing the Doctor Who theme on an electrical violin. Enjoy!
