Any Doctor Who Fans? **UK AIR-DATE SPOILERS ABOUND** — Page 14

Oh my god, those spoilers are so bloody offensive on top of being just plain awful in content. For frick's sake, Rusty! Seriously, the Moffat era can't come soon enough for me. And I say this as someone who's absolutely adored plenty of RTD's writing in the past.

SPOILER SPEC











kec, I know the Sun is a piece of crap, but its spoilers have been right before. And I wouldn't put it past RTD to have Martha suddenly marrying Mickey - after all, they've had about as much screen time together as Martha and Tom.

ALSO, about the Martha getting with Mickey thing.....in "Children of Earth" they say that Martha is on her honeymoon, so I think it's pretty much debunked.

Spidey, the bit about the Monday announcement being Eleven photos is spec, not a press release. That said, Doctor Who is an awfully leaky show, so I won't be the least bit surprised if this spec turns out to be accurate.

ETA: Oh, man, the S3 finale. So much brilliance (John Simm, chunks of "Utopia") mixed up with unfortunate bits of crap (Disco Tinkerbell Jesus Doctor, pretty much the whole goodbye to Jack at the Plass).

I think he looks adorable! They just look so YOUNG. But I LOVE the costume. I think it's much more basic than David Tennant's.

I was JUST about to post this. hahaha. I don't know about the bow tie but yeah, they look so YOUNG. But, I can't wait to see how Moffat and Smith take the Doctor into a darker realm.

A different article with even more pictures! Yay!

---

Yeah, you are right. It is different. I read somewhere it was going to be, so I was expecting that. I dunno, I feel like it's a brighter blue from those pictures. But that could just be the light.

---

I wonder if this is what the shows are going to look like (in regards to lighting)

---

The TARDIS does look a bit different. It's a brighter blue, you can see its wood grain, and it has white frames around its window panels. It also seems like they suck some kind of new symbol or something on one of the doors, but I didn't get a good look at it.

And Spidey, Baker is only going to play Four for some audio plays, something that news item doesn't bother to elucidate. My Who fan friends would have exploded with glee by now if he was coming back to TV. :)

I think he was the original Katurian in The Pillowman, wasn't he? I'm not a tremendous fan of Tennant's screen acting, but I would be very interested in seeing him onstage to see if the change in medium makes a difference.

Spider, I'm with you on his performance in Human Nature/Family of Blood -- that lightning switch in the latter from John Smith to the Doctor back to John Smith was outstanding, and his performance overall truly fantastic. I get teary every time I watch that scene where John and Joan are holding the watch and it shows them what their life together would be like *sigh*

No word yet on when Hamlet will air in the UK other than the vague mention of end of the year; the dvd will be out soon after that, but I think that will be a region 2 DVD (which isn't a problem for me as I've got a region-free player). No idea when it will air here in the US.

I sure hope he does come to Broadway. I had hoped that the RSC production of HAMLET would have been the one to come to the US instead of the Donmar production, but c'est la vie.

Well, I'm totally screwed! I'm gonna have to wait for the-whatever the u.s. region is.

I still say if you don't like David Tennant's acting in Doctor Who, check out RECOVERY.

And as for a Broadway play...CHEERS!
