John Barrowman Does Single Ladies
November 12, 2009 by Cynthia
Hmmm…that title might not be the best way to word this. . . how about, here’s a fun video of Torchwood star John Barrowman rocking out to Beyonce’s “Single Ladies.” I don’t know if it’s for real or fan made, if you know, let me know — but it’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
Thanks to Small Screen Scoop and my Twitter buddy Jessica Rae for the tip.

David Tennant Lawyers Up
November 4, 2009 by Cynthia
According to a number of sources, including EW, Dr. Who star David Tennant is taking the bar exam — fictionally that is — for a new series here in the good old US of A.
The show is called “Rex Is Not Your Lawyer” and it revolves around a top Chicago lawyer who suffers from panic attacks so he teaches his clients to represent themselves in court. Sounds like Monk in the courtroom and that could be great fun.
The pilot is being shot for NBC and they could use a big hit right now. I’d watch. Would you?

Bring Back the Memories with Classic Who on DVD
September 5, 2009 by Cynthia
Who do you think of when I say Doctor Who? David Tennant? Christopher Eccleston? If you’d asked me that a few years ago, I would have said Tom Baker. For years, he was the face of Doctor Who, rattling around in a cardboard set in grainy episodes airing on my local PBS station. There was a simple charm to the series that allowed you to turn a blind eye to the flaws. With top notch British actors and creative scripts, these early episodes captivated audiences of all ages and certainly influenced the current era of scifi storytellers.
I got to revisit …read more

Tonight Doctor Who: The Next Doctor
“From the moment I took over [as the Doctor, the U.K. tabloids] were all saying, ‘Well, who’s going to be next’” in the role, said David Tennant in a phone interview with the Chicago Tribune. “One of the names that always came up was David Morrissey, so it was nice to be able to play with those expectations a little bit.”
In a clever ploy that allowed the series to run for so many years, The Doctor has the ability to regenerate — taking on a new face (as in a new actor) every few seasons. But this time around, it’s …read more

Enter the World of Doctor Who with Eclectic Gypsy
June 2, 2009 by Cynthia
The Galactic Inquirer calls it, “a comprehensive look at the man and the mystery.”
Neptunian News says, “Eclectic Gypsy should be required reading” while the Skaro Telegraph says it’s utter nonsense and author Dave Thompson should be exterminated.
Well, you can’t please all of the creatures all of the time, can you?
Eclectic Gypsy is subtitled “an unauthorized biography of Doctor Who” but it’s so much more than that. This book is probably the only volume ever written that follows the Doctor from birth through his early school years to his travels on Planet Earth. It’s a comprehensive dossier built from scraps of …read more
