DOCTOR WHO

NEW THIS WEEK:

"Oh, now what's this, then? I love this. A big, flashy-lighty thing. That's what brought me here. Big, flashy-lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually, but give me time... and a crayon.”

“I’m on my way to Los Angeles now to stick my head in the pond”--Matt Smith, making 'shippers squeal

Cheeky Billie has let slip that her nickname for Dr Who co-star David Tennant is David Ten-Inch.  But she added hastily "I've no grounds for calling him that - I just find it funny."

In a ‘School Holidays’ special issue of Radio Times, Doctor Who star Matt Smith is interviewed by 13 year old Jack:
JACK: What makes you different from previous Doctors?
MATT: I’m younger, so my skin is a bit smoother. What would you say makes me different? Bigger ears?
JACK: You’re crazier.
MATT: There you go, I’m crazier.
JACK: How many marks out of ten would you give yourself so far?
MATT: That’s a tough one. Let’s say eight. I’ve two episodes left, so I can still get to ten. I don’t want to undersell myself.
JACK: We don’t often see the Doctor eating anything. My favourite food is sausage and mash. What’s yours?
MATT: Spaghetti bolognese, banana sandwiches. I love biscuits with tea and am partial to a chocolate muffin or two.

"The funny stuff is all down to Catherine Tate--I'm just her bitch."--David Tennant

[The Daemons]

THE DOCTOR: Allow me to congratulate you, sir. You have the most totally closed mind that I've ever encountered.

[The Face of Evil]
