Doctor Who casting announcement...

[fajrdrako]

Yay! They've announced that Freema Agyeman will be back for series 4, and in Torchwood for three episodes. I wonder if that will be a story arc.

I am thrilled. I was so afraid they were writing her out, or minimizing her role, or ending her story.

Happy news!

THERE WILL BE SO MUCH JACK/MARTHA OFFICE SEX.

Oh squee!!! Thank you for sharing :-D

Wonderful! I was worried.

*points to icon* Seems somebody heard that...

[kathyh]

Excellent news. I'm really happy to hear that.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

I certainly hope so!

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. It's great to be the bearer of good news!

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

I was too. When she left the Doctor she seemed so sensible about it... It had that convincing ring of 'decision'. I'm just thrilled that she'll be back.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Quite right too.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

It's really something to be happy about. Way to go, Martha!

Oh dear I just can't wait to see Martha reduce Owen to helpless sputtering...

In other casting news, Kylie is official for the next Xmas Special (BBC):

Should I be considering this good news? I really don't know anything about Klie Minogue.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

She'll drive him nuts - I hope!

[raissad.livejournal.com]

She's an uber-famous pop singer/actress in the UK and Europe. Her casting is of note in so far as she has even more name recognition in native DW territory than Catherine Tate.

This strikes me as being a lot of fun. As if Doctor Who wasn't already famous enough in the UK! I love it that various celebrities want to be on the show.

Given that Martha is coming to TW, I'm hoping we get some follow-up (on-screen and/or implied) on Jack and Tish. They owe each other some meals and social interaction that don't involve cold mash and chains.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

I'd certainly like to see more interaction between Jack and Tish. Let's hope we get it!

Are you a Buffy/Angel fan? If so, you'll love this (http://www.syfyportal.com/news423780.html).

I'm actually not a Buffy/Angel fan, but I am a fan of James Marsters - so this delights me!

I love the implications! He is teasing us, of course, but I love him for it. I particularly liked the line, " there were implications that something "omnisexual" was going to happen in the episode." Since "omnisexual" is the word generally associated with Captain Jack, it gives me hope that something will go on between them.

Surely not too much to ask - ?

That last one is very moving.
