So, apparently the Christmas special will have Michael Gambon and Katherine Jenkins as guest stars. Interesting combination...
Quote from SM:
Oh, we're going for broke with this one. It's all your favourite Christmas movies at once, in an hour, with monsters and the Doctor and a honeymoon and - oh, you'll see. I've honestly never been so excited about writing anything. I was laughing madly as I typed along to Christmas songs in April. My neighbours loved it so much they all moved away and set up a website demanding my execution. But I'm fairly sure they did it ironically.
I'm afraid this confirms that Amy is there. But at least she might be AWOL in Sarah Jane.
As for Torchwood, a scoop on new characters:
I’ve gathered on the new season (airing on my new favorite cable network, Starz), the show is out to cast a new series regular - Rex Matheson, a wickedly funny (operative word: wicked) CIA agent born to make waves. Almost as key to the new season are recurring characters Esther Katusi, a CIA grunt in her early 20s who learns what she’s really made of only when she’s forced to, and Oswald Jones, a convicted murderer and pedophile who will be as shocked as anyone to learn how easily infamy and fame can be exchanged for one another.
Rex makes me giggle, it would have been David's name in the show that was never picked up by whichever channel they shot the pilot for. Russell has a brilliant and unpredictable mind but he's kinda lazy with names. :)
And on a pretty unrelated note,I found this recently:
Click to viewMy biggest dream is still a project with Mary, Eddie and RTD, but having these two doing something together could be frakking amazing too. Maybe Joss Whedon (who already worked with Idina on Glee... and I'm firmly convinced everyone knows Johnny B *gg*) could pen something like Dr Horrible again... though I would probably die of awesomeness overload before the end credits come up. :)
