News and Notes of the Whoniverse
Yes indeed. I went to the conference today (For which I had to get up two hours early. Le Sigh.) and, just as I threatened, I wore my pinstriped suit and my red trainers. I even took a picture of my leg as proof. I got one complement on my shoes, and no one else seemed to notice/care. Ah the joys of comfortable feet. Okay, then. Enough about me and on to the newsbites.
In the hopeful casting department, Patrick Stewart wants to be on Doctor Who. It would seem that he’s a fan of the show. Well, considering how many people who have been in other things with David Tennant have shown up so far, I’d say that he has a good chance. I suppose that he’ll have to be in Hamlet first, though.
A while back there was a rumor that Christopher Eccleston would be in a remake of The Prisoner. This article maintains that this was only ever wishful thinking. (Mind you, it also say that Eccleston quit Doctor Who for fear of typecasting, when in fact he only ever signed up to do one year, so believe what you like on this one.)
Billie Piper’s Secret Diary of a Call Girl will begin on Thursday at 10pm on ITV2 in the UK. She is interviewed here about the show, and her life right now. (pssst! She wants to marry her fiance and start a family, apparently.) It looks to me like she’s been trying a bit of everything as far as roles go. Good on her.
The Official Doctor Who website has an interview with Mary Tamm (Romana I) posted in their news section. Pop by and peruse it if you would like to know how she got the part of Romana, and what she thinks of her time on the show. It was quite an interesting article.
If you would like to read some spoilery information about an episode from series four go here. These spoilers include: plot info, casting info (if you are trying to avoid knowing anything about the 4th series casting), and a picture.
That’s all I have for this week. Enjoy!
