Calgary Comic Expo: Matt Smith and Karen Gillan talk about Doctor Who pranks, favourites and the lasting impact of being a part of the iconic British series
http://blogs.calgaryherald.com/2014/...ritish-series/
Talk about a meeting of the minds.
When Matt Smith was asked what show he would like to see a Doctor Who crossover, he imagined a meeting between the Doctor and Benedict Cumberbatch’s prickly Sherlock Holmes.
“They would get on, wouldn’t they?” said Smith, during a packed panel discussion with co-star Karen Gillan Saturday afternoon as part of the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo. “Or would he? I think Sherlock would just look at the Doctor and go ‘You’re a complete idiot.’ and the Doctor would look at Sherlock and say ‘Mate, you need to chill out.’ The Doctor would go: ‘Listen buddy. I can travel in time. Game over.’”
There was a decidedly jocular vibe to the Doctor Who showcase on Saturday afternoon, with Smith and Gillan talking about favourite moments, pranks and saying goodbye to the iconic characters from the long-running British sci-fi series.
Gillan played companion Amy Pond until leaving the show last year. Smith, who was the Eleventh Doctor, is being replaced by Peter Capaldi.
“I’ve got a deep-seated jealousy . . . ” Smith joked about his replacement. “No, no, no. Peter is going to be brilliant. He is going to reinvent the wheel, which is exactly what the show should do. You’ll see. He’s a lovely man and a fabulous actor.”
Smith was a relative unknown when he took over Doctor Who from actor David Tennant, particularly when compared to some of the names that were being bandied about to take on the iconic role (David Morrissey, Robert Carlye, Chiwetel Ejiofor.)
He played Britain’s most famous Time Lord for four years.
“He categorically changed the way I see the world,” Smith said. “Even getting to live as that man is an amazing thing in your life. As an actor, you try to experience the things your character does. So if you’re running a bath — I would urge you all to do this — if you’re running a bath, run a bath as a doctor. Go for a walk in the park as the Doctor would got for a walk in the park and it’s a more interesting walk. For me anyway, what I liked about him was his lack of cynicism and the openness to everything. And it actually made me more interested in the mathematical, scientific way of the world.”
Still, judging from the tales of on-set hijinks, shooting the series was anything but dry and academic.
“I was at the receiving end of most of the pranks, because I was the only girl,” says Gillan, who will boost her comic expo geek cred by appearing as Nebula in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy later this year. “Matt used to hide in my trailer, that was his thing. I would go in and wouldn’t know he was hiding in the corner. And he would jump out really aggressively screaming absurdities. And it was really scary. One time he really took it to the next level. He found this abnormally long shoe horn that was just in my room for some reason and he jumped up and was waving it around. I remember sliding down the wall, half-crying and half-laughing. I mean, it’s enough to scar a person.”

Tom Riley: Capaldi "will completely revitalise" Who
http://blogtorwho.blogspot.co.uk/201...ompletely.html
Actor Tom Riley has been speaking about his upcoming role in Doctor Who Series 8 to Flicks and the City - watch his interview below. Riley, who is starring in Episode 3, says that Peter Capaldi will "completely revitalise the show" with a "change of tone". However, the Da Vinci's Demons actor wouldn't be drawn on spoilers on his Doctor Who story, written by Mark Gatiss, which is still currently filming.
Eagle-eyed Who fans will notice Mike Tucker and Danny Hargreaves lurking in the background, both winning a BAFTA Craft Award for Special, Visual and Graphic Effects on The Day of the Doctor last night.
The Doctor Who part starts at 2.05. No spoilers.

I don't have a giant video to present or big news to give, but I do have to say, that interview with William Hartnell on The Tenth Planet DVD was something.
The interviewer really hated him I think."I have never understood why it should be necessary to become irrational in order to prove that you care... or why it should be necessary to prove it at all."Comment

Long before you and I were born, others beat these benches with their empty cups,
To the night and its stars, to the here and now with who we are.
Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.Comment

My only concern is that it looks like it's part of the more child orientated Doctor Who books range... this sort of book should really be part of the more mature range...Originally posted by Teddybrown View Post
