The End Of Time Part Two: The Verdict
Digital Spy
The amount of tears being shed during the final half hour of David Tennant’s Doctor made Timothy Dalton’s saliva tsunami in Part One look like a drop in the ocean. The concluding chapter of Russell T Davies’ Doctor Who stint was rife with flaws, yet potent and powerful enough to milk dry the emotions of every faithful fan who has watched this wonderful show in recent years and decades.

Shame on China...
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said he was appalled and condemned the execution "in the strongest terms".
China should hang its head in shame...
- China executed 1,718 people in 2008, according to Amnesty International.
- Last year 72% of the world's total executions took place in China, the charity estimates.
- It applies to 60 offences, including non-violent crimes such as tax fraud and embezzlement.
- Those sentenced to death are usually shot, but some provinces are introducing lethal injections.

OUT WITH THE OLD IN THE WITH THE WHO
OUT WITH THE OLD IN THE WITH THE WHO
By Sara Wallis; Jon Horsley 26/12/2009
THE BEST SHOW ON TV
Christmas Day may be behind us but the great seasonal TV goes on. Here's our round-up of all the tasty telly treats between now and next year!
DAVID TENNANT
Which one's he? Doctor No 10.
How old is he? 38.
What else has he done, then?
Lots of Shakespeare.
Best Doctor credential? Snappiestdressed time lord since Tom Baker.
He says: "It was very emotional saying cheerio.
Filming the final scene was very, very sad.
Doctor Who meant so much to me."
They say: "I think David has taken the Doctor beyond where anyone thought it would go," comments co-star Catherine Tate. "And he has brilliant hair!"
We say: We'll all miss David's boggled-eyed wit, but this is a fantastic, tension-laden ending for the current Doctor.
MATT SMITH
Which one's he? Doctor No 11.
How old is he? 27.
What else has he done, then? The BBC's Party Animals.
Best Doctor credential? He has the trademark crazy hair.
He says: "I feel proud and honoured to have been given this opportunity. I hope to learn from the standards set by David and do the show justice.
I can't wait."
They say: "He's a really nice guy and I think he's going to be great," reckons John Barrowman.
And Billie Piper thinks Matt has the "right energy" for the role.
We say: Don't worry, Matt Smith will no doubt fill David Tennant's Converse basketball boots to perfection.

BBC stars discuss how to pronounce 2010
The BBC has tackled the topic of how to pronounce 2010 with David Tennant suggesting 'twenty-ten' is preferred.
While some say ‘twenty-ten’, others are referring to ‘two thousand and ten’ and even ‘two-o-one-o’.
The subject was raised in a programme on Radio 2 on Boxing Day – which was hosted the Doctor Who actors David Tennant and Catherine Tate.
Tennant, 38, referred to the year as ‘twenty ten’, when telling a listener to have a “wonderful new year”.
Tate, said: “Oh twenty-ten – get you! Who’s been reading the compliance rules!’”
Tennant told their guest, Bernard Cribbins: “We’re supposed to say twenty-ten.”
But Cribbins said he believed most elderly people would prefer to say two thousand and ten.
Miss Tate added: “You’re not allowed to say two thousand and ten…The people in there are exploding!”
The BBC has a unit which decides on uniform pronunciation. However, the BBC said there had been no ruling on 2010.
A spokesman said: “Prior to the show, it was decided “twenty ten” was the easiest way to pronounce the year. It was not breaking any rules to say it in an alternative way.”
Mr E - DOES IT REALLY MATTER?!

A big boo for Doctor Who
By Kevin O'Sullivan, Daily Mirror:
We're nearing the Apocalypse, the end of time is near… and The Master has returned from the dead wearing a hoodie. Give him an ASBO.
This terribly twisted Time Lord is determined to achieve world domination. But after the appalling way he ate his turkey, I think he should work on his table manners first.
Hey Mr Master… no one’s going to listen to you if you can’t use a knife and fork.
Is it me… or was Doctor Who’s Christmas excursion a pile of pretentious cobblers?
Actooors with deep voices booming verbose garbage like: “A shadow is falling over civilization… something vast is stirring in the night.” Ooh-er ducky!
Anyway, with David Tennant’s last exit looming, those guys with entrail beards called The Ood seem convinced the clock is ticking for mankind.
And, shamelessly hamming it up as the mad Master, John Simm keeps leaping thousands of feet into the air. How come the Doctor can’t do that?
But this nonsense is not for normal people.
Nerds only.

Asked if his mother had told him how proud she was of his success, he said: "She did and she was so thrilled by it."
Tennant, 38, whose girlfriend is actress Georgia Moffatt, 24 - daughter of fifth Doctor Who Peter Davison - also revealed he wants to start a family as soon as possible.

Catherine Tate: Nan's Christmas Carol
Charles Dickens tale A Christmas Carol has seen many film and TV incarnations over the years.
But this is perhaps the most bizarre and clever of all a comic retelling with Catherine Tates acid-tongued Nan as Scrooge.
The writers have taken some bleedin liberties with the original story (Tiny Tim is a dog and the ghost of Christmas Present wears skinny jeans) but its a laugh-fest from beginning to end.
The three ghosties are played by Ben Miller, Roger Lloyd Pack and an almost unrecognisable David Tennant, who all attempt to convince Nan to swap her miserly ways for some seasonal cheer.*

I'm not quite sure what we're doing yet. But I'm sure I'll be with some family and friends. That's how everyone should spend Christmas, right?
It's a big family occasion. I remember having a big Scalextric and my auntie helping me build it - then I was upstairs for the rest of the day playing with it".

I enjoyed watching JB in panto yesterday, Oh yes I did!
The New Theatre, Cardiff - John Barrowman as Robin Hood.
I had the pleasure of watching John Barrowman in panto yesterday afternoon... what a complete joy! I laughed from beginning to end, it was totally awesome! I was sat in the stalls, so had a fantastic view of the stage... in any event it is a wonderfully intimate theatre!
I watched JB in panto in Cardiff a couple of years ago, he starred in Jack and the Beanstalk. (Last year he was in panto in Birmingham playing Robin Hood). Anyway, I had a fab time then, watching JB as Jack... but the production yesterday surpassed that!
During the performance yesterday, in character as Robin, JB mentioned...
- that he had a friend who owned a TARDIS and he could ask him for help!!
- that he was more than willing to go looking for merry men!!
- he also quoted Bart and said at one point to 'eat my shorts'!

- asked if it was Torchwood or Sherwood! (Torchwood was mentioned a few more times during the panto!)
- said 'Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic' - this is what he says when he acts as a judge on the talent shows!
JB also had an interesting conversation with the Churchill dog prop, when he was brought onto the stage as part of the panto! JB mimicked the dog... very funny! (Yeah, you had to be there I think!!)
During the end of the first half of the performance, most of the stage was filled with an ice rink. JB did a mighty fine job skating and singing Brian Adams song 'Everything I do, I do it for you'.
A few times during the performance JB was in a fit of giggles after the audience were making up their own adult jokes!! at one point he said that he had a few things (jokes) he could say but wouldn't, and to write to him if we wanted to know!!
Throughout the performace, along with the sheriff, there was an eight foot monster, which I thought resembled a Silurian!... During the panto JB did say that it looked like a Doctor Who monster!

At the end, JB thanked the audience for helping make this panto the most succesful that The New Theatre had ever staged. I recall reading an article in the South Wales Echo not that long ago reporting how the sellout of this panto had been a much needed lifeline for the theatre.
JB also said, that although we had all had to pay for duck houses and the like this year! could we PLEASE donate to a much needed local charity, people with buckets will walk up and down the aisle at the end... £2,000 had already been raised.
It was evident that JB had put a great deal of effort into his performance, and seemed to be having a good a time as everyone else! he throughly deserves all the praise he gets!
John Barrowman as Robin Hood - TOTALLY FREAKING AWESOME!
***** 5/5
You must try and get hold of a ticket... it will be the best thing you do this Christmas / New Year! :-)

Sprout of this world!
WHILE Brussels sprout-hating kiddies around the country cry EXT-URGH!-MINATE! at the Christmas dinner table, Doctor Who will be facing a different kind of little green terror.
These are the Vinvocci, aliens who look a lot like a certain festive veggie.
The shape-shifters pop up - or GERMINATE! - in episode one of a two-parter of the BBC hit on Christmas Day.
The seasonal special, which concludes on New Year's Day, also sees the Doc's arch nemesis The Master make an appearance.
He's played by John Simm, who will battle David Tennant, acting out his final scenes as the Doctor before being replaced by Matt Smith.
The pair fight it out from the "wastelands" of London to the mysterious Immortality Gate as they struggle to cheat death.
All in all, it looks like veg of yer seat stuff.

Should this have been the Christmas No 1 ?
When George isn't hanging about toilets, he actually makes some good tunes!
It has entered the Charts at No 14.
Rage Against The Machine
Congratulations to 'Rage Against The Machine' for beating Joe McElderry (the latest X Factor winner) to the Christmas No 1 spot in the UK charts. Not that Simon money bags Cowell gives a shit! Both are on his label. It is just nice not to be spoon fed the Christmas hit from the X Factor. Plus, I am an Olly Murs man myself! I'm sure 2010 will be awesome for Joe, and good luck to him :-)
