If you're interested in that sort of thing, of course.

"Doctor Who's co-executive producer Julie Gardner has revealed transmission details for two of next year's specials.

And in the interview in today's Daily Telegraph about the show's future, the head of drama for BBC Wales says the cutback in 2009 is a good thing for the programme.

She says: "Aside from Series Five, which will have a full 13 episodes and transmit in 2010, we are making four one-hour specials. The first, which we've already filmed, will go out this Christmas. The next will go out the following Easter. The other specials have yet to be scheduled, although one will definitely be on at Christmas 2009."

In the interview, Gardner says: "The reduced schedule for 2009 acknowledges the fact that the show should continue not just for another one or two years, but for another five or 10. It needs to be nurtured, loved and looked after."

The article states that Russell T Davies is writing two of the specials and co-writing the other two. It is not revealed who the other co-writer is."

Hi everyone! I'm finally back home from CONvergence and my vacation at the cabin and I am EXHAUSTED. I'm working on reading a couple days back on my f-list now and I'm going to try to get my CON photos posted yet tonight. Maybe even with a review. Don't hold your breath though.

What did everyone thing of the Who finale? Kinda meh, huh? Jack kinda saved it spoiler! ), but it was still not as great as it should have been.

So yes. Watching Doctor Who at 3am was indeed the correct decision. *FLAIL FLAIL FLAIL* So much going on in the episode! SO MUCH GOING ON IN THE TRAILER FOR NEXT WEEK!! I cannot put it all together in coherent sentences.

Is it next Saturday yet?? DAMN. I have to work all day next Saturday and then I'm driving up to the cabin. I won't be able to watch it until late. :sad face:
leighblack: (Firefly - Mal Grins)
AUGH! I don't have time to watch Doctor Who before leaving for dinner and Serenity so I can't really read my f-list! THERE'S SO MUCH FLAILING!!

I just know I'll be sitting here watching it at 3am tonight.

ANYHOW. The Parasol Painting Party was fun like whoa! I have photos. I'll try to post them tomorrow. I'm now armed with my parasol, Jayne hat and Reynolds/Washburne 2008 shirt, so I think I'm ready for tonight. Geeks ahoy! =)

Okay, Doctor Who. Way to be creeeeeeeepy. And T-minus 7 days to complete fandom implosion. I can't believe there's only three episodes left!

Oh crap. Is the last episode going to be on the 5th? During CONvergence?? Dammit!

Apparently I have nothing of actual substance to say, so I'll stop now.

some thoughts about Doctor Who )

In any case, I fell asleep watching it last night and had to try again today. I didn't like the episode any better this time. =/ Sitting through the 2nd part next weekend could be very painful, but I'll watch it anyways.

Oh God. I've turned into a true Who fan. =/ Bitching yet still watching.

I am super freaking exhausted and was going to head off to bed like an hour ago. But then I couldn't resist it and gave in and watched Doctor Who. Ummm, really? In the first episode? Oh man, is it going to be a season full of wank. I must remember to avoid all DW discussion communities!

Except for having to work this morning, I ended up having a great day. The Emerson Hart concert was canceled. So [livejournal.com profile] seimaisin, [livejournal.com profile] stardiver and I hung out doing computery things, watched the Butch DVD, went to dinner, played some video games and then saw The Bank Job. After realizing that I bought dinner and Jaime bought the movie tickets, I think we took Monette out on a date. ;)
