And then they’d simultaneously be like,

“Come along, Pond.”
“Well come along, John.”

Norc

My view is just because no one seems to be paying any attention it no reason not to be a fan and promote your fav show! (And there has probably been more new series Who news than TH news- and unlike TH the Who news is all exciting and speaks of potential goodnenss too bounce

)

by Norc Tue Jul 17, 2012 12:32 pm

(i knooow!! few people seem to care as much as I do about the Sherlock ~~spam~~ thread, but I just keep going cuz it has become my life!! and I love it too much!! bounce

)

Enthusiasm is its own reward I say, and buckie of course.
If I bring one person, such as yourself Norc, into the Who famly I have succeded, not in making Who more popular, don't care about that, but in introducing someone to something I know is capable of giving so much joy and pleasure.
And Sherlock deserves it too. So carry on regardless Norc!

Who makes BBC a mint!

'Doctor Who has helped BBC Worldwide, the BBC's commercial arm, increase its profits by 8% to £155m for the financial year 2011/2012.
The company exists to exploit the BBC's commercial assets, raising money which can be returned to the Corporation for reinvestment in programmes. In the Annual Report published on Monday, Doctor Who features heavily and makes a major contribution to the £216 million returned to the BBC, a rise of 19% in the figure for the previous year.
Doctor Who and Torchwood were both listed in the report as one of the top selling brands, achiving success in in over 100 markets. Other top sellers were Top Gear, Frozen Planet, Spooks, Sherlock, Planet Earth, and Natural World.
Doctor Who also helped BBC America achieved its highest ratings ever, up 23% for daytime viewing.
The best-selling title in the digital market in the USA was Doctor Who Series 6, which was the most downloaded series on iTunes in the USA in 2011. The annual report also notes that Doctor Who now has around 100 separate licensees across a wide range of product categories, and was the fourth biggest licence in the market for boys aged 5-14. In addition The Doctor Who Annual was by far the best seller in the Children's books section.
BBC Worldwide has significantly increased the number of Live events it produces, both in the UK and overseas. The Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular debuted to sold-out houses in Melbourne and will tour globally in the year ahead.
The interactive Doctor Who Experience was seen by almost a quarter of a million visitors in London, and is due to open in Cardiff Bay later this month. Three thousand fans attended the first Official Doctor Who Convention in Cardiff over two days in March.'- Gallifrey Base

"David Tennant (10th Doctor) married Georgia Moffett (the 10th Doctor’s daughter in the episode “The Doctor’s Daughter”), who is the daughter of Peter Davison (5th Doctor) and they had a daughter. So the Doctor’s daughter played the Doctor’s daughter in “The Doctor’s Daughter” and then married the Doctor and had the Doctor’s daughter."

Cracking fantrailer for series 5,6 and 7

by Pettytyrant101 Mon Jul 23, 2012 12:09 pm

Typically eccentric but interesting interview with Tom Baker, interviewed by, Tom Baker. Shocked

Its long, but if you just want to hear about his take on the Doctor, the role and his interpretation of it (its good stuff) skip to 17.50.
The vid and sound is badly out of synch but as its an interview you can just as easily treat it as radio and just listen to it.

by Mrs Figg Mon Jul 23, 2012 1:51 pm

Is she going to Hollywood? she will probably get her own blockbuster, maybe Willow 2.

'We’re through the looking glass here, people – quite literally. Doctor Who star Karen Gillan - who leaves her role as Amy Pond early into series seven later this year - is going from British teatime TV to US horror cinema, as the lead in a film about a haunted mirror.
Oculus begins a decade after a horrific incident has left Kaylie (Gillan) and her brother orphaned. Convicted of the murders, Kaylie's sibling has undergone rehabilitation and is ready to move on with his life - but his sister has other ideas, reports Deadline Hollywood.
Kaylie (the one who didn't get taken away for psychiatric analysis, remember) is convinced that an antique mirror is responsible for her parents’ deaths, and sets out to prove just that.
Filming is due to begin on the project in Alabama this autumn.
Gillan is also currently attached to another film, Scottish indie romantic comedy, Not Another Happy Ending, alongside Downton Abbey star Jessica Brown Findlay, Sophie Wu and Gary Lewis.' - Radio Times

'Karen Gillan will play the lead role in Oculus, a horror film being produced by Trevor Macy and Marc D. Evans and fully financed by their Intrepid Pictures.
Intrepid, which recently announced it has acquired screen rights to the young-adult novel 13 Days To Midnight, has the Henry Cavill and Bruce Willis starrer The Cold Light Of Day coming out September 7 via Summit Entertainment. It also was behind Safe House with Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds and the John Cusack-starrer The Raven.'- Deadline

Now you know as much as me Mrs Figg.

by Mrs Figg Mon Jul 23, 2012 2:02 pm

so lots of staring gormlessly into mirrors then, nice. Rolling Eyes

that'll be a stretch, really test the acting skills that will. Laughing

by Pettytyrant101 Mon Jul 23, 2012 2:14 pm

I think any actor who is offered a role by an up and coming new production company, and to be in their mind for a lead when they have cast actors of some stature and fame, would leap at the chance and be very exicted. I would.

by Mrs Figg Mon Jul 23, 2012 3:23 pm

well I am just looking forward to enjoying Who once again now they have got rid of the woodentops.
