Hard to tell from the trailer; but they have kept some fan-favorite gimmicks from the original (big white ball); and the talent involved is top-notch. I don't watch much television; but I will give this a look.
Big white ball = ‘Rover’.
Does anyone know if that Doctor Who episode is repeating any time this week? I was traveling back from out of town when it aired =( and I’m still behind with Torchwood, but someone’s much younger sibling is visiting my apartment for a few days so it’ll have to wait till they’re not around...
Neat!
Living in Maryland I thought I would never come across another fan of either show as most people here have never heard of them. "Too British" I guess.
I can't even find any of the novelizations anywhere in Baltimore or around the Baltimore area unless I go online to a site that specializes in Sci/fi books from other countries.
Eva Myles was pregnant in real life at the filming of CoE.
I was driving up 23rd Street in Arlington a couple of weeks ago behind a car whose license plate said, “TARDIS’ and I gave him a big thumbs up. Do you watch Graham Norton? He had David Tennant on a couple of times and it was really funny.
I only recently got BBC America.
He was on a couple of times. The one where they lured the guy into the TARDIS and moved it to the studio was the funniest. Graham Norton is a guilty pleasure. I am ALWAYS grossed out at least once, usually more than once, during his show, but I watch anyway because he is so funny, and he has really good guests. The only one I turned off because I couldn’t watch was Robin Williams, but I can’t watch him anywhere on anything. So go figure.
That’s the one I seem, the one were they lured that guy into the Tardis. It was funny! Did John Barrowman ever appear on Graham Norton’s show? John’s somewhat a character as well.
I haven’t seen him yet, but I expect it soon. He is on that “What do you do with a problem like Maria show that Graham hosts.” And that I can’t bear.
He does more than that, he was Captian Jack Harkness in Doctor Who and played the same role in Torchwood. he also sings.
I know. “Return of Captain Jack” was great. I haven’t heard him sing. Did you see the Dr. Who episode about the origins of Torchwood?
Did you see the videos of what happened at Comic-Con in San Diego with Russell T Davies, John Barrowman and David Tennant? They showed trailers of "Waters of Mars" and the last of the episodes DT will be appearing as the Tenth Doctor.
There is a lady here in Boise with TARDIS on her SUV license plate. I yelled GREAT PLATE! at her and she gave me a thumbs up.
