NBC is up today and here’s a quote that should please:
The pilot for “Rex Is Not Your Lawyer” with David Tennant has finished shooting, and Bromstad says that “theoretically” it could be something that fills part of the 10 p.m. hole [the cancellation of the Jay Leno show]come spring.

And Heroes:
“Heroes”? Bromstad says NBC still likes the show but won’t make a decision until it sees the pilots.
And sadly, Alex O’Loughlin is out of work again. A quote from Nina Tassler of CBS:
She was, however, much more to the point about the Alex O’Loughlin-starring organ donation medical drama “Three Rivers.” When …read more

What’s that expression,  it’s all over except the crying? David Tennant has completed his time as The Doctor and I don’t think there’s anyone, including David himself, who is glad to see him go.
Yesterday, I got a look at the special features on the February 2nd Doctor Who DVD release that will cover David’s final episodes. There was a camera following him around on that last day of shooting and it was heart-wrenching to watch. I know it’s only a TV show, but it was clear that saying goodbye to the show wasn’t easy for David or anyone connected with …read more

This past weekend, BBC America aired the start of David Tennant’s last hurrah as Doctor Who. The holiday special is called Doctor Who: The End of Time and they are giving the old boy quite a send off.
Knowing is time is growing short, the Doctor is tasked with tracking down the Master (John Simm) who has risen from the grave in time for another Christmas. He’s even more wild-eyed and wicked than ever as he uses a piece of alien technology to turn everyone on Earth, except for Wilf and Donna (Bernard Cribbins, Catherine Tate) into copies of himself. But …read more

They’ve been teasing it for quite awhile, but BBC America has finally settled on an air date for David Tennant’s last outing as Doctor Who. Feels like the end of an era, doesn’t it? Fitting then, that it lands just after the start of a new year. It’s called Doctor Who: The End of Time, Part Two, and it premieres January 2, one week after Part One, on BBC America.
Lead writer and executive producer Russell T Davies told Radio Times, “It’s personal for the Doctor. The Master (John Simm) is his enemy, his opposite, and yet so tantalizingly close to …read more

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?

“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

The deal includes the four 2009 specials; the final episodes of the tenth Doctor as played by David Tennant. The first of the specials, Doctor Who: Planet of the Dead will premiere in July. As a London red bus takes a detour to an alien world it forces the Doctor (Tennant) to work with the extraordinary Lady Christina (Michelle Ryan, Bionic Woman). But the mysterious planet holds terrifying secrets hidden in the sand and time …read more

Author Karen Miller jumps on the bandwagon and has her say about the new Doctor Who. . .

I have a terrible confession to make. Possibly it might even be seen as heretical – but here goes.
The very first Doctor Who episode I ever watched was ‘The Runaway Bride’.
And now I pause this commentary so readers can pick themselves up off the floor, reach for a stiff drink and possibly the phone to call for an ambulance.
You good now? Good. Alons-y!
As a child, I remember my uncle loved Doctor Who. I remember him watching it whenever he was visiting. I …read more
