Flanner77 - Untitled

Loved David Tennant as Dr. Who. He was the best actor playing that role in my experience.

Behind the Scenes of The End of Time - Part Ten

David Tennant, Catherine Tate, and Euros Lyn from the DVD commentary:

[talking about End of Time Part One after part of David’s suit gets burned] David Tennant: Now we just saw one of the Doctor’s suits being incernated, which was not a happy time for Louise Page, our costume designer.

Catherine Tate:  No - I bet.

DT: She was very sad, because there were only a few left - particularly the brown suit, which was made out of a material that we could no longer get any access to, so there would never be another one.

CT: So you couldn’t even replicate it?

DT: No, ‘cause that material has gone.

Euros Lyn: How many suits did you have?

DT: There was always a bit of a mystery about it, and I was never quite told…

CT & EL: [ Laughter ]

DT: I think that’s because Louise was protecting them, like a cat protects her kittens.  She was very proprietorial - quite right too.  She looked after those costumes very lovingly, and the thought that one of them would have to be trashed… In fact, in this episode, two of them end up getting trashed because one at the end gets all slashed and burnt.  She was very nervous of that.  I mean, you know, this is the final story they’re going to be used in, so it had to be done, but… yes, she was very manful about it in the end but she found it pretty tough.

CT: Not without a struggle.

EL:  What happens when Matt wears it at the end?   Was he wearing your suit?

DT: Well he was wearing the cut-up one… No!  No, that’s not true.  Because I get cut but then I change back, don’t I.  He was just wearing one of the suits.

EL: One of the spare ones.

DT: But I’m not quite sure what happens in his first episode.  I think he then maybe uses the one that got a bit torn up in ours, because doesn’t it get a bit torn up in… I don’t know maybe we shouldn’t talk about that.  That’s probably a secret.  Sorry Steven Moffat.  Yes, those suits are high currency because we can never make them again. 

EL: So did you get any of your costumes?

DT: I did. Louise very kindly gave me one of everything

CT & EL:  Awwwwwww

DT: Yeah.  So I’ve got one brown suit, one blue suit, and versions of all the shirts and ties and various combinations

CT: Oh, brilliant

DT: …and the tux, I’ve got that as well.  I think with the proviso that, come “The Fourteen Doctors” in 2020 I’m expected to provide my own costume.

CT & EL: [ Laughter ]

Very funny.

Apparently my director went to see a production of West Side Story a few years ago, and the guy playing Chino forgot his gun before coming out for his final scene. Once it got to the big scene where he is supposed to shoot Tony, he screeched “Poison Boots” and kicked the actor playing Tony until he went down. The girl playing Maria then had to jerk the shoe off of Chino’s foot, and had to do the gunshot scene asking “How many kicks Chino? How many kicks, and one kick left for me”. 

Looks like Elijah.

As a criminal defense attorney, I agree. You usually cannot talk yourself out if an arrest. The only words you should say are, "I want my attorney present. His/Her name is ...."

Strange creature, n'est-ce pas?

I couldn't have said it better myself!

Labs rule! Elijah and Olivia agree, too!

Hello from Scotland

A few pictures from the Scottish Highlands.

Anne and I have spent two days in the HIghlands, and we love it here. We will return someday, when we can spend more time and do more things. I took about 5000000000000 pictures, but the Internet is slow and wonky where I am, so I can’t upload them at full resolution. Here’s a few of them, resized: This castle is very old. This is Urquhart Castle, which is on the shore of Loch Ness. That ruined…
