New Kid on the Blog
I am blown away by the sheer amount of coverage in Britain right now. It almost makes me wish I was still living there; it would be great to be a part of it. I’ve no right to complain though. Thanks to the CBC, fans in Canada will get to see new Doctor Who on TV just as God intended, a little bit later than the UK debut but thankfully confirmed. It seems that every TV news programme, every newspaper, every radio station and every entertainment website is talking about it. Huge viewing figures for episode one are pretty much assured. Let’s hope they come back for more…
From a teaser trailer and a few news spots on BBC Wales, to a breathless, mass publicity campaign in the space of just a few days, it’s truly exhilerating to be a part of. One of the most exciting is the report of the SFX launch party, with some tantalising glimpses of what’s to come. But I have to say, the thing that warms my fanboy heart more than anything else is seeing Eccleston and Piper on the cover of the latest issue. I can’t wait to read it.

Your fanboy heart will be beating harder still as Billie Piper gets the cover of the next issue of SFX all to herself.

Nice to hear that there will be two SFX Doctor Who covers in a row, but unfortunately dear Billie doesn’t get any part of my anatomy beating. I still see her as that fifteen year old pre-Britney pop singer in a school uniform singing “Because we want to”, which had an astonishingly annoying tune, and it just doesn’t do it for me.
Anybody else think she resembles Minnie Driver?

We’re trying to work out a way to get it online. We’ll let you know if we have any success!

I think you are all alone on that Billie Piper-Minnie Driver look-alike theory. And you say I’m odd!

It’s the bone structure of the face that’s similar. It’s true!
