Doctor Who’s The Water Of Mars airs in the UK in just two weeks times and in just under two months, David Tennant will hand the Doctor Who reigns over to young Matt Smith. In the his final three TV specials, Tennant has confirmed that we can look forward to seeing some familiar faces and old companions.
At the press screening of Water Of Mars today David told reporters:
V actress Morena Baccarin has claimed that the remake of the classic mini series, has a new “terrorist aspect” which sets it apart from it’s ’80s predecessor.
Baccarin, who plays Anna, told Sci-Fi Wire: “It completely reinvents the material, actually. It’s a reimagining of the old one, so it’s the same concept. Aliens come down from space. You have the conflict between them and humans. Why are they here?”
So Unreality TV will be amongst the lucky members of the press, at tomorrow’s Doctor Who: The Water Of Mars advance screening.
No, we aren’t just telling you to make you jealous, we actually need some inspiration. After the screening there will be a question and answer session with the cast and in case we get so excited at the prospect of being that close to the gorgeous David Tennant that we lose all rational thought, we’d like to have a few intelligent and probing questions written down as fallbacks.
Russell T Davies has warned that David Tennant’s final scenes on the show will move fans to tears.
Russell told BBC Breakfast on Thursday: “At Christmas… I warn you now get your Kleenex out and your tissues.”
He continued: “We finished the episode yesterday and we were crying our eyes out. It’s very lovely, powerful stuff, it’s David Tennant at his absolute finest.”
Robert Englund has revealed that the remake of V makes him “feel pretty old”.
England played a mild mannered alien named Willie in the original miniseries’ and TV show. Robert also starred as Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare On Elm Street franchise, which is currently being rebooted as well.
“My two biggest hits are being remade so there’s kind of a perfect storm right now,” he told TV Guide.

ABC have released the above clip from their V remake, in advance of it’s US premiere on the 3rd of November.
It’s not a bad opening to the series and definitely introduces you to the major characters from the show. By the way, did anyone else notice Bailey Salinger from Party Of Five? Who would have known he was still alive and kicking?

Sarah Jane has met Peter Dalton and wants him to become part of her life, as the adventure series continues; perhaps he could become a father to Luke. But Clyde suspects that Peter is hiding a secret or two, especially when he and Rani find an empty house where Peter says his home should be.
Joss Whedon has admitted that he is “not as depressed as everyone else” over the planned Dollhouse hiatus next month.
The show’s creator posted on his fansite Whedonesque.com: “Howzabout that schedule? Well, I’m not as depressed as everyone else. We weren’t about to rock sweeps anyway, and though there’s a chilly November, December is CRAZY (sic).”
He added: “It’s like an Advent calendar of episodes! We get November to try to spread the word (which I’ll be leaning on Fox to do, though it’s hard to imagine them doing as good a job as the WhyIWatch guy) and then December is pure gluttony.”
Things are not looking good for Dollhouse, as it has been confirmed that the show will go on hiatus this November.
Fox has previously promised to broadcast the remaining episodes in full, however these will now be aired back to back in December.
Miracle Laurie, who plays November on the show, wrote on her Twitter: “Trying not to be depressed. Get ANYONE you can convince to watch #Dollhouse LIVE this Fri, cuz we won’t be back till Dec. see ya then!”
This might also have been called Defying Logic, because, as we all know, stuff in space relies on logic to make it work, and programmes about space require someone to commission them, and that’s why it Defied Logic.
Who, oh who, thought this show was a good plan? Whoever it was, they should be in a position better suited to their talents, such as picking up dog poop, for in commissioning Defying Gravity, that’s pretty much what they’ve done.
In fact, in the States where Defying Gravity took its first faltering – and literally weightless – steps, it’s already been cancelled, so that makes it even more logic defying. Why is the BBC showing a series that – should anyone actually want to watch – doesn’t ever come to a conclusion? Read more & comment »
Flashforward Co-showrunner/Executive Producer Marc Guggenheim has left the show according to reports.
