Meanwhile in DW/TW land

[rm]

John Barrowman on Matt Smith:

Have you met him?
"I have - I was doing some radio publicity for the show and he was brought into the press office to meet everybody and he made a beeline for me. We talked a little bit and he's a nice guy - he's really excited about it. After he left, I felt like I'd cheated on David! But in the world of Who, we're used to the Doctor regenerating and that's what happens."

LOL. I'm sure the RPFers will be all over that little gem...

hahaha, love John to bits.

But will their characters even meet?

[stardragonca.livejournal.com]

Anyone betting that they aren't?

That's what I heard. I was under the impression that when RTD left, all 'his' characters would disappear with him. So no more TW cross overs. Not sure where I heard it though.

Though I would not mind some Ianto/11

There are so many rumours from so many dubious sources at this point (and even the actors are dubious sources at this point in the game), that I'm just ignoring everything.

Good strategy, but I can't stop reading spoilers.
Agh, me!

[stardragonca.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

But Jack originated in a Steven Moffat episode, so Jack wouldn't necessarily be one of Davies' characters.

Except that Jack first appeared in the first two eps Moffat wrote for DW, so I can definitely see him showing up occasionally.

Love learning more stuff about DW/TW!

We're used to the Doctor regenerating...

And isn't that strange and wonderful? When you think about it, putting a new actor in the lead role and asking you to accept him as the same character but also different...that has to be one of the most insanely risky things any show has ever done. As Tom Baker once apparently said, Patrick Troughton deserves respect for selling the idea in the first place.
