lady_t_220Interview with Patterson Joseph primarily about Survivors, but takes an early meander through mentions of Neverwhere (THE MARQUIS! *glee!*) but also goes on to mention-
BE: You mentioned “Doctor Who” a minute ago. How much truth was there to the rumor that you were under consideration to play the Doctor?
PJ: (Hesitates for a very long time) Uh…a lot.
BE: Really? I wasn’t sure, because you never know about these things.
PJ: Yeah, a lot. But I can say no more.
BE: (Laughs) Oh, yeah?
PJ: (Laughs) No, seriously! You know what it’s like. I did the last two episodes of the first new incarnation, with Christopher Eccleston. They’re called the “Bad Wolf” episodes, and, y’know, we were up there on the space station. And I have to say, I’ve never been involved in anything so secret! I mean, scripts coming to me with my name embossed on every page…which, of course, I kept, because it’s amazing. But if you lose that in a taxi, they know who you are and they know where you live. (Laughs) So everything is very hush-hush, so I wouldn’t dream of giving away any of the “Doctor Who” secrets. I can only say that, yes, there was some truth in the rumor.
BE: I’m sure that would’ve thrilled you to no end.
PJ: I…I mean, I can’t think of any actor in the world who wouldn’t be completely flattered by that. Well, maybe not in the world, but certainly any British actor, because we know what “Doctor Who” means for us.
...WAAAAAAAH! You have no idea how bad I wanted that to happen. Soooo muuuuuch...
Unrelatedly- BAD PAPERCHASE! Naughty! No biscuit! Really, trace someone else's work for shits n' giggles, draw inspiration from it, but don't just all-out re-colour it and slap it on a tote bag, that's just shitty.

Date: 2010-02-11 02:30 pm (UTC)As for Paperchase - Oh that's evil and vile and so would like to see them pay for it.
Reminds me that the kerfluffle over the video promo of novel Steamed that used steampunk imagry from fandom is still hitting the fan for penguin and the agency that made the video - class action lawsuit is being flung about by a lawfirm. Which makes me giggle insisantly behind my hand (while feeling deep sympathy for the author who had nothing to do with any of it but getting the shit from fans about it) away from one of the few profitable publishers still taking non-agented submissions...
