If you happened to be in the Philadelphia area last weekend, you might have heard what you thought was thunder…or an earthquake…..but no, it was actually the deafening screams greeting “Doctor Who” stars David Tennant and Billie Piper at their appearance at the Wizard World Comic Con.

Fans stood in line for hours to get into the packed Q&A panel and some were overcome with emotion at being able to ask their fave Doctor and fave Companion their burning questions.

The stars even had a funny “popularity” battle with “Doctor Who” Stars Matt Smith, Alex Kingston and Freema Agyeman who were appearing at the same time at a convention in Australia.  Tennant and Piper sent the trio a video of them claiming they were “killing it here in Philly.  They love us here in Philly.  I think they prefer us to you.  That is very much the vibe we are getting.”  Smith responded with a video shot in front of rows of fans Down Under saying “We see your video and raise your video, dude.”

David Tennant and Billie Piper were quite possibly the biggest draw of the Philadelphia Wizard World Convention, with some fans being able to purchase a “VIP” experience which entitled them to be in the front of the line for photo and autograph sessions and a guaranteed seat in the front of the Q&A Panel.

Elisabeth Sladen

Audio tapes of interviews from Benjamin Cook a former writer for Radio Times, Doctor Who Magazine, TV Times and The Telegraph shared this and more on his website.

The new, 100-page issue of Doctor Who Magazine is out today, and celebrates the life of Elisabeth Sladen, who died earlier this year. Among those tributes from friends, family and colleagues are my interviews with Doctors Tom Baker, David Tennant, and Matt Smith. Here are some exclusive audio clips from those interviews:

Tom Baker (DWM 440)
WARNING: This clip contains strong language and adult humour.

David Tennant (DWM 440)

Matt Smith (DWM 440)

This issue also features Lis’ final magazine interview, which I conducted last year, originally for Radio Times, but only 10% was ever published… until now. DWM presents this interview in full, for the first time. Asked how she feels when Sarah Jane tops polls of the greatest companion ever, Lis said:

“I can’t take that seriously. You have to look at the time I was in the show, and the Doctors I was paired with. That’s not me being bashful… You can have the most wonderful Romeo and the most wonderful Juliet, but if they don’t come together and match, you’ve got nothing. You’ve got to believe it. If you can make people believe, you’ve won.”

Doctor Who “The God Complex” Over Night Ratings

Lyrics:

So I was watching Season 4 the other week the one where Donna and the Doctor fought the giant killer bees And it got me thinking man, If I was forced to date a man then surely he would be the only one for me

we’d fly round in his TARDIS through the rifts of space and time and through it all I’d know that I’d be his and he’d be mine

Oh Doctor won’t you mend my broken heart and tell me that we’ll never be apart? If there were a race I’m sure I’d win the pennent for the man love that would come from David Tennant

Intelligence unmatched I’m sure he’d be the perfect catch the sonic screwdriver to save me from despair Although I must disclose that he may have a thing for Rose with two, surely he’d have one heart to spare

*Insert Kazoo theme*

We’d fly round in his TARDIS through the rifts of space and time and through it all I’d know that I’d be his and he’d be mine

Oh Doctor won’t you mend my broken heart and tell me that we’ll never be apart? If there were a race I’m sure I’d win the pennant for the man love that would come from David Tennant

And although it may be slightly awkward when its said from you to me there comes a point where each man finds his sexuality And though he’d try his dardest just to get me in the mood I’d find him better naked with a vagina and some boobs And I spose that really matters when it all comes down to it we could have no Homan babies So I guess alone I’ll sit

We’d fly around in his TARDIS through the rifts of space and time and through it all I’d know that I’d be his and he’d be mine

Oh Doctor won’t you mend my broken heart and tell me that we’ll never be apart? If there were a race I’m sure I’d win the pennant for the man love that would come from David Tennant

And though it were a phase I’m sure I won’t forget it My not-so-heterosexual man crush that I had on David Tennant

Deadline has the story:

Catherine Tate, who played Tennant’s mouthy companion Donna in the BBC sci-fi show, will play opposite the Doctor Who star in Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. It’s the first time the 2 have appeared on stage together, although they get on famously. On stage they will be playing lovers who are pretty much extensions of their Doctor Who roles: Benedick and Beatrice’s endless witty sparring threatens to keep them apart forever. Much Ado opens at Wyndham’s Theatre in London’s West End on June 1. Tate can currently be seen in the Jack Black comedy Gulliver’s Travels.

Former Doctor Who star David Tennant and his fiancee, Actress Georgia Moffett welcomes their daughter.

David Tennant will talk about being a dad on the first episode of the new series of the Graham Norton Show, April 15.
Georgia Moffett, 26, and the baby were reportedly doing well.
According to British newspaper The Sun, a friend said: ‘Georgia and David could not be happier. Olivia is beautiful and their families are over the moon.’

Tennant became engaged to Moffett over Christmas. Moffett already has a son, Tyler.

Clips of Doctor Who 10 is seamlessly set to music. Parts are laugh out loud funny. Parts of it, with Rose and the Doctor, are heartbreaking. Excellent work. Is there an award for best fan video? If there is this should be a winner.

The clip is from di0br formerly known as ‘di00br’ or Di the vidder girl from Brazil. She  posted this on David Tennant’s birthday in 2010.

From Di, …my new personal canon now: when the Doc regenerates, his older self isn’t gone, he just stays home and watches his current self on the TV. 😉
OH! And one more thing: some of the song choices here are not meant to be taken seriously. Well, most of them. Probably all of them, but still!
