John Simm has joined the Game of Thrones prequel series at HBO.

Is it being done by the hacks (D&D)?

I am totally buying this set - a full Special Edition of the last season of the McCoy era. Sophie Aldred!

 

 

Billie Piper and the Tylers (Camille Coduri and Shaun Dingwall) return for a Rose Tyler Big Finish miniseries.

 

 

 

 

 

"So, is this how it works, Doctor? You never interfere in the affairs of other people or other plants, unless there's children crying?" pg 16, Amy, The Beast Below  -- The Official Quotable Doctor Who: Wise Words from across Space and Time

Rose:I can see everything. All that is, all that was, all that ever could be.

The Doctor:That's what I see. All the time. And, doesn't it just doesn't it just drive you made made.  -- The Official Quotable Doctor Who: Wise Words from across Space and Time

And then Doctor Who fandom always has first rate vids. For example:

The Doctor: What is Clarke's Law? Ace: Any advanced form of technology is indistinguishable from magic. The Doctor: Well, the reverse is true.  Ace: Any advanced form of magic is indistinguishable from technology. Battlefield, The Quotable Doctor Who.

Christopher Eccleston gets even more candid about leaving DW:

 

 

And on a lighter note:

 

 

Eccleston was treated horribly after he left - as if he was some kind of a traitor. Considering RTD's later childish behavior with fans on Torchwood and what a lousy hack job Collinson did at Corrie, I tend to be on Eccleston's side.

Eccleston always deserved a lot more credit than he’s gotten.

 

I liked Tennant, but preferred the overall direction the show seemed to heading with Eccleston. By the time Smith took over, it was too late to course correct the overwhelming focus on the Doctor as an object of romantic affection.

 

I find less and less to like about RTD with each rewatch. He was incredibly self-indulgent. Moffat was as well, but I thought he hid it a lot better until he lost Amy and Rory, his first Companions.

The End of Time was so wretched on every level that I can't even go back and watch any of RTD's run now. That and his petulant response to Ianto fans were my last straws for his work.

I liked Eccleston & was entirely suspicious that they ran him off. Tennant was my favorite. Happy with him with Rose & Mickey. Happy with him with Martha. Liked Matt. Liked Amy Pond & Rory. Adore Alex Kingston. Liked the new female Doctor. Just didn't want them to go on hiatus!
