Members DRW50 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Members Share Posted February 15, 2015 I mostly remember Pauline Quirke from a horribly depressing role on Emmerdale, but she's mostly known as a comedienne. Here she is at :30 selling BBC Choice. I guess by this time the BBC had begun to thaw out with Doctor Who as there's a fairly big use of the show in the ad.

Members Vee Posted February 19, 2015 Members Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Michelle Gomez confirms she will be back for Series 9, which we knew - but she's also back for the premiere episode, which we didn't know. Also appearing again, surprisingly, is Clare Higgins, British thespian and a personal genre favorite of mine for being the evil Julia Cotton in the first two Hellraiser films. She previously played the lead sister of Karn in The Night of the Doctor, the 2013 minisode with Paul McGann.

Members DRW50 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Members Share Posted February 19, 2015 I'm really looking forward to seeing Karn again - I thought Higgins did a tremendous job the last time around. I hope they won't overuse Missy but I'm looking forward to seeing her again too. Gomez is a terrific addition to the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 19, 2015 Members Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) There was a rumor many, many months ago that Missy would be a companion for the latter half of the series. I didn't buy it but I wouldn't dismiss it either. I'm not sure Higgins will be playing one of the sisters again. Could just be a new role.

Members DRW50 Posted March 12, 2015 Author Members Share Posted March 12, 2015 Richard Madden is perfect. Literally perfect. He has watched Doctor Who since he was a child!!! http://www.vulture.com/2015/03/richard-madden-on-game-of-thrones.html If I had not been a Jenna Louise Coleman fan for nearly a decade, I think I would hate her right now. (there's a Song of Ice And Fire spoiler in there that hasn't been on the show yet - be warned) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted March 12, 2015 Members Share Posted March 12, 2015 That's cute. He should do a guest spot sometime. They can afford it, they're still on the verge of using Peter Jackson as a director every year. That reminds me, you never did tell me how Episode 2 of Telltale's GOT game went for you.

Members DRW50 Posted March 12, 2015 Author Members Share Posted March 12, 2015 He's said he wants to but won't while Jenna is on the show. I haven't had a chance to start it yet, due to computer issue stuff. I think I can soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted March 31, 2015 Members Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Arthur Darvill has joined another one of those CW DC Comics shows I don't watch, playing time traveler Rip Hunter. GOT's Maisie Williams will be appearing on DW this year. Pic at the link. Edited March 31, 2015 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Members Share Posted March 31, 2015 I'm so happy for Arthur! I'm still not sure I will watch one of those shows but that's great news for him and I hope he gets a big hit out of it. Maisie's a huge catch for DW - she has a real following online and she's a great actress. I wonder how they managed that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Members Share Posted April 3, 2015 Some news on episode format - they're bumping up the amount of two-parters (which is a long time coming if you ask me). I'm pleased to hear Jamie Mathieson is back to write more episodes. http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-04-03/could-doctor-who-series-nine-be-entirely-two-parters 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted April 6, 2015 Members Share Posted April 6, 2015 That they intend on going forward is not surprising, but I was surprised they made a public long-term commitment beyond the next year or more. Still, wonderful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted June 6, 2015 Author Members Share Posted June 6, 2015 That's great. Always happy to hear she gets work. Did you hear any more about the news that is supposedly going to come out? I hope it wasn't the thing with Jenna Coleman and Prince Harry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted June 6, 2015 Members Share Posted June 6, 2015 I have no idea. And I'm sure it wasn't that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
