Some interesting stuffs and scheduling notes from a recent RTD interview behind the cut.

From 'Ain't it Cool News':

DAN: Looking ahead, David Tennant's last three specials are on the way. "Waters Of Mars" is next up. Do you have any idea when that will air?

RTD: You won't know when that's going to air until about a fortnight beforehand. Literally, I don't know, but I would say it's going to be November. But someone at the BBC may change their mind and it will suddenly be a different day. It can't be before November because it's not ready. It has to be scored and dubbed before then. Sometime after the end of October. Not Halloween. I know some people think it's going to be Halloween, but it won't be ready by then.

DAN: The BBC have released a preview clip and it looks incredibly scary.

RTD: We have a fantastic trailer ready for Comic-Con at the end of July. It's brilliant, it's really exciting. I was just looking at it this morning, actually, and I love it. But yes, it's a good old fashioned, claustrophobic, trapped episode -- with brilliant monsters and a moral dilemma at the heart of it. It's really exciting.

DAN: Also, Doctor Who often film a special sketch for Children In Need. Is that going to happen again this year?

RTD: No. No plans this year. We simply didn't have time. I know there are lots of rumours flying about. But no, there's nothing. We'll do what we did last year, and show the opening pre-titles sequence of the next special. Y'know, we want to give Children In Need anything we can because we love them and it's a great cause. We're dying to help, but I think we'll offer them something like that.

DAN: I guess Doctor Who's finished for you now, and you're just winding down?

RTD: Yes, I'm coming back in October to do the dubs and then that'll be it.

DAN: What are your plans now, after Doctor Who, apart from Torchwood? Any new projects in the pipeline?

RTD: There will be new projects, hopefully. I mean, I'll keep an eye on [Torchwood and Sarah Jane] as opposed to running it, and we don't know what Torchwood's future is yet. I'm out here in America to sort of learn the American system and study, talk to people over here and learn how they do things. It'll take years. It's a long-term investment, sort of thing. A whole new adventure,
starting over.

DAN: So you've actually moved to America?

RTD: Yes. Oh, yeah-yeah. And very nice it is, too. Sunny outside.

And on a separate note, DT arrived in LA last night after sharing flight with Jonathan Ross. I'll bet that was a fun flight!

DT arrived in LA last night after sharing flight with Jonathan Ross

Imagine being on that flight!! Unless they both slept.

Gosh you're up early this morning. It's what? 5am?

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

It was early for me - now it's about 6:25am? Have been up since about 3:30.

[ladyprydian.livejournal.com]

Ouch. I was up around 3:30 also, running about shutting windows as another monsoon of a rain storm blew through. At least I was able to go back to bed.

[roxyk630.livejournal.com]

I went to bed and you woke up! *headdesk*

[roxyk630.livejournal.com]

Ohhhhhhhh He MOVED to America? But BBC has a MUCH MUCH higher quality television programming (and I mean that nicely. They spend way more on telly than we do). Interesting. I'd say the UK has better Televison the US? Better FILM industry.

Interesting all around!

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

Half the day is gone already! *grins*

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

Yikes! You has more rain? We're supposed to have afternoon storms - just in time for the par-tay, of course. FAIL.

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

True - trying to keep this outward post somewhat spoiler free, though. Shhhhhh! *grins*

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

Yep - he's been here for a while now, actually. And yeah - a very interesting interview. *ponders*

[roxyk630.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

[roxyk630.livejournal.com]

XD; I haven't woken myself UP at 3:30am since HS! *when I used to go to forensics and debate tournaments on Saturdays...* I frequently stay UP till theN tho?

;)

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

I'm usually up around 3:30 - 4 am. It's usually the only time I can get caught up on stuffs before heading to the gym/get girls ready for school/get ready for work.

What sort of forensics are we talking about? *is curious*

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

Please to be noting that no questions about a movie were asked. Even with the recent half-hearted denials by RTD/Gardner, I'm still hopeful.

[roxyk630.livejournal.com]

I'm usually up that late for... well... SOMETIMES similar reasons (getting things done). Job apps, not so much recently *getting back into it this weekend, I"ve got some portfolios to submit!

Forensics and Debate? Usually Duet Acting, Solo Acting, Prose, Poetry, um... SOMETIMES Improv Duet Acting (I had trouble finding partners for that sometimes). I qualified for NFL (National Forensics League) several times but never got to attend as KS Solo and Ensemble competition (for choir) was almost ALWAYS the same time/weekend. I sang every time. XD;

[roxyk630.livejournal.com]

*is hopeful with you!*

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

*headdesk*

So this is not actual forensics, then? Where a dead body is involved? The other stuff sounds cooler, though.

[ladyprydian.livejournal.com]

More and more rain. This is the summer of rain.
We just had ANOTHER downpour which must have lasted two hours. It was raining so hard it looked like snow/sleet.

My tomatoes are SO dead. If we don't get some dry weather soon the roots are just going to rot.
*sigh*

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

And you will text me and tell me all about it... hopefully!

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

My tomato plants were shredded by hail. I feel your pain.

[roxyk630.livejournal.com]

XD; No, BUT I have been to a cadaver lab several times? :3

XD; If it's any consolation, I figured that would be the first conclusion you'd draw. ;) It always bothered me as a science student why they called it that anyway?

[roxyk630.livejournal.com]

:3 As I find news! GLADLY.

[ladyprydian.livejournal.com]

*woe*

No pasta sauce for either of us this year.

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

OK, I'm officially bothered by that too. *grins*

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

Not unless I go to the farmer's market, no. :(

[garpu.livejournal.com]

Eep, sowwy!

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

I have my theories, but best not to discuss them here. And you didn't have to delete your post, silly you!

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

*dances*

[garpu.livejournal.com]

Eh, better safe than sorry! After I had the resolution of the cliffhanger in "Stolen Earth" spoiled for me, I'm kind of paranoid about spoiling others.

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

Ooooh. That's some major suckage there.

[roxyk630.livejournal.com]

XD; NOT ALONE! I remember going "Forensics? Like Forensic Science?!" I quickly learned I was wrong during "orientation." Never understood that.

[roxyk630.livejournal.com]

XD;;;

[garpu.livejournal.com]

Was the same person who was lecturing you on your chosen field. She said that she didn't have to watch spoilers, as it's a uK show, and she was in the UK. So it was really *my* fault for taking offense at such a big spoiler.

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

Huge difference if you're going to court, I suppose. ;)

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. I remember her well. I'll admit, I was annoyed at first. Now? Amused. The internet makes things so impersonal, I suppose it's very easy to not realize who you're talking to.

[garpu.livejournal.com]

I dropped her not long after that, actually.

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

Probably for the best - hopefully you'll keep from getting spoiled again.

[garpu.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've threatened the Frood with divorce, and we're not married yet, if he ever spoils DW.

[roxyk630.livejournal.com]

XD; VERY VERY true.
