It's tabloid insanity. :)

Thank you!

Sounds like someone watched the TV movie and decided it was a good idea. I can't imagine it would be very cheap for them to film here. (Plus they'd just use Caprica City Vancouver, anyway, like any other sci-fi program does.)

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

Y'know, if the tabloid-types keep pulling stuff like this out of thin air to see what sticks, it's gonna be a really long wait for those specials. Heck, it's gonna be a long wait as it is.

[garpu.livejournal.com]

It is, indeed. I think they had Harriet Jones turning into a dalek once in the finale. (The plot sounded straight out of "Time of the Daleks", a BFA.)

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

I remember that one floating around. It did sound somewhat credible, so I'll admit I was worried.

[garpu.livejournal.com]

RTD *did* like to borrow from 'em...

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

Did he actually write any or just the novel or two?

[garpu.livejournal.com]

I don't think he wrote for Big Finish...

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

That's what I thought. Now, of course, I can't remember the name of the novel he penned.... *grumbles*

[ascendant-angel.livejournal.com]

Gah that had better not be true. I do however have massive doubts of the validity of this which makes me feel much better.

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

I'm not familiar with 'NOTW', so I'm hoping it's just another tabloid.

[ascendant-angel.livejournal.com]

Oh stupid me read the whole article except the big news of the world header!. Well that explains it all. In that case it's almost certainly 100% total bullshit. The news of the world is like a sister paper to The Sun and no more reliable.

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

This is good to know for future reference - thanks! *feels better*

[elrina753.livejournal.com]

*snort* The tabloids are acting batty again. I really can't see them doing this. I'd like my British show to stay British *g*

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

Me too. *grins* And where are we today?

[elrina753.livejournal.com]

New York. Where I will be staying for a few days. Bliss :)

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

How lovely! I love to travel, but it's always nice to come back home. Almost like letting out a breath you didn't know you were holding.

[elrina753.livejournal.com]

Seriously. I love it but it can wipe me out. There really is nothing like coming home.

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

Where were you off to this time?

[elrina753.livejournal.com]

Sicily, with a stop in Greece (no layover boo) only to continue on to Bahrain, stop there for 12 hours and go back to Sicily via Greece. We kept telling the mechanics to break the plane as we'd never been to Greece *g*

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

No layover in Greece? What a crime! You must've been doing the military route again.

We were supposed to be in Turkey/Greece this summer, but the State Dept. put the kabash on that plan after Turkey invaded Iraq. So it's off to Chile/Argentina in October instead. Someday, we will both have gone to Greece.... *is wistful*

[elrina753.livejournal.com]

It was a crime. Especially since the Greek ground guys were all "Crete is wonderful, you should stay here because we are awesome" And it was military, it was part of the Norfolk - Terceira - Sicily - Crete - Bahrain - Djibouti shuttle. Where the Navy moves folks about.

Someday I will layover in Djibouti (pronounced Ji-booty) just to stay I've been to a place called Djibouti.

Why can't Turkey cooperate with your plans? Stupid war. It's that whole Kurd thing. *glares in their general direction* And someday we will both be there and Turkey will quit invading places. (although isn't Greece the capital for young drunk brits on holiday or something like that?)

Oh, another thing. I found out we have troops in Kenya, doing humanitarian aid. They were drilling wells and building schools but somehow the local newspapers got it in their head that drilling wells meant burying radioactive waste. The U.S. is now storing it's radioactive waste down water wells in Kenya. The more you know...

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

I want to say I've been to a place called Djibouti!

Turkey would have cooperated - the US Govt. wasn't. They were a bit anxious about the security detail for the top folks in the hubby's business. *grumbles* Had we been going on our own, we would have been fine.

Oh Kenya. *shakes head*

[elrina753.livejournal.com]

It's such a fun name for a country.

The government always ruins everyone's fun. Grrr.

I've been to Turkey once and was so impressed. I'm dying to go back but the U.S Military (surprise surprise) is trying not to route people through there unless they absolutely have to.

But on the upside... Chile and Argentina which I've heard SO MANY good things about.

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was pretty bummed when I heard the trip was cancelled.

BUT... Chile and Argentina got moved up, so... *shrugs* Next years 'international' trip will be to Lana'i, Hawaii. Ireland was one of the other choices. *headdesk* I'm not bitter at all about that.

[elrina753.livejournal.com]

*raises eyebrow* "international" trip?

Maybe back in the 50's...

Too bad they didn't go with Ireland. Not that Hawaii isn't beautiful but still!

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

Yeah. There's a lot of golfers in the group. *grumbles*

I know - been there already. Not to Lana'i, but still.... Ireland... could extend to London/Scotland very, very easily.... *grumbles some more*

[elrina753.livejournal.com]

Ugh. Golf. Most boring sport ever.

Of course, if they really wanted to Golf, they should go to Scotland. The land where golf was invented and with some of the best courses in the world. Also, the land of hot men that would work so well with your travel plans.

I think I had a post about Scottish men and their hotness awhile back. I should go revisit it and drool.

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

I've driven the occasional golf cart, but that's about where I'll draw the line. *grins*

*is part-Scottish and is in total agreement with you*

I saw the article this morning in the Daily Mail that said he wasn't staying for S5. They must have mixed that article with the interview that said Hamlet might move to New York.

Wow. Talk about stretching a story. Sheesh.

BTW: I took the Daily Mail article as pure spec. I haven't seen anything official yet.

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

Do they list sources at all for these?

[larissa-j.livejournal.com]

The Daily Mail article didn't have a single source but they hinted it came from Moffat.

It's here: http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv-entertainment/tv/tv-land/2008/08/25/who-s-next-for-tardis-115875-20711442/

Hamlet in New York is not from the mail but from here:

http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/stage/theatre/article4596097.ece

And soon the Tennant effect will no longer be confined to Stratford-upon-Avon. The production moves to the Novello Theatre in London in December and, according to Gregory Doran, director of the Tennant Hamlet, there’s a possibility that the production will then move to New York.

My guess is that someone took the two bits of information and created a crack spoiler with Doctor Who in the states.

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

The Moffat quotes sound familiar - from Comic Con maybe? Either way, that looks a little out-of-context.

As for NYC, I doubt that'll happen as DT is scheduled to start work on the DW specials after Hamlet closes in January. Which is unfortunate, because he could probably wander around NYC unaccosted.
