Sylvester McCoy interview:
I do actually like performing to a live audience. I like the response. I do a lot of Doctor Who conventions now, and the reason that I do them is that there is a live audience I can get to directly. Physically, too, as I get off the stage and harangue them from close up! I do like it.
Tom Baker interview:
The wonderful thing about nostalgia is that I’m old now - nearly 80 - and people don’t seem to notice that. When they’re introduced to me they’re catapulted back to their own childhood. We’re all fans of someone, aren’t we? Whether you meet an old rock group or old football player. You don’t think, ‘Gosh he’s looking old.’ You think, ‘I remember 1966…’ and away you go. The Doctor Who fans are so loyal.”
David Tennant interview:
You feel like you can’t quite be enough, when people are rather overwhelmed to meet you. It’s not because they’re overwhelmed to meet me. They’re overwhelmed to have a bit of interface with that thing that has meant so much to them. It’s actually quite humbling to be this personified presence of that, I suppose. But, I’m aware that that show is much bigger than any individual’s part in it. It’s a way of life, Doctor Who. It’s a lifestyle for some people. And what a great thing to be enthusiastic about. What a great thing to be a fan of. It’s a wonderful, inventive, creative, morally pure thing.

Matt Smith to appear in Victoria Wood's Nice Cup of Tea on April 11. Here's a clip of him talking about tea:
Speaking of tea, looks like we missed National Fish Fingers and Custard Day:
Special edition fish fingers, with Captain Birdseye stepping aside for Dr Who, have been created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the hit TV show and mark the launch of National Fish Fingers and Custard Day (Wednesday 3rd April) the favourite food of the eleventh incarnation of the doctor.
Chris Chibnall Torchwood and Doctor Who interview:
It's a privilege and an honour and a delight to go in and write a Doctor Who [episode]. Steven [Moffat] is a great showrunner to work for, and you always do a Doctor Who if there's time, because you can tell stories you can't tell anywhere else. And again, you get to write for great actors.
Article: 10 Screenwriters we'd like to see DW episodes from. All A+ choices, I must say.

In Radio 4 show 'The Reunion' on Sunday April 7 Waris Hussein, Carole Ann Ford, William Russell, actor Jeremy Young who was the first Doctor Who enemy Caveman Kal, and Peter Purves will talk about the beginnings of Doctor Who.
And to round off this rather sweet news post, here's a clip from The Companions special where Freema and John Barrowman talk about the TARDIS party of Journey's end, including never-before seen footage of all the hugging, awww!
