jwaneeta - about the new Doctor Who casting. This was the part I thought funniest:Gay Agenda
The devasted communities have also expressed anger at comments by the Bishop of Belinda Carlisle, who has claimed that Catherine Tate is God's punishment on permissive fans, whose casual acceptance of gay characters and production of slash fiction featuring the Doctor and the Master is "symptomatic of a deep-rooted moral degradation".
Camilla Parker-Bowles, the Duchess of Cornwall, yesterday commented that she could identify with Catherine Tate as she found it difficult to live up to the public's affection for the Prince's previous companion. Clarence House later issued a statement admitting that the comment had been in poor taste given the current suffering of the British people.

But she is going to be in three episodes of Torchwood series 2 (yay!) and some epiosdes of Doctor Who series 4. I'm unsure how many. The Doctor's companion in all of series 4 will be Donna Noble, played by Catherine Tate, as in the Christmas special last year, "The Runaway Bride". (Groan. Okay, maybe she'll improve when we get to know her better. And if you believe that, I can offer you an oasis on the moon.....)
That's except for the Christmas special coming up next Christmas, in which the companion will be neither Martha nor Donna, but Astrid, whom we've never seen before, played by Kyle Minogue.
Clear as mud?

Oh dear -- I just had a horrible thought. What about Sean Bean in a Dr. Who episode set in the early 19th century?

I agree. Wouldn't it be great to see Sir Ian McKellen on the show?

What, the TARDIS lands in the Iberian peninsula when Sharpe is there? You wouldn't get any argument from me on that one!

I wouldn't have thought so - but either they're doing it, or they're doing a good job of pretending.
