Jennifer Saunders as Doctor Who

"cribbins" posts on the Doctor Who LJ group about the possibility of Ab Fab's Jennifer Saunders to take the helm of Doctor Who. The Sun article being referenced states that our precious "Edina" is in talks with BBC to play the good doctor after Tenant leaves in 2009. Time and space is doomed if Patsy gets slated to be her companion.

Additionaly, here is the YouTube trailer for the 2007 Christmas Special of Doctor Who: Voyage of The Damned.

Pushing Daisies grows some nice noms

Bryan Fuller proves that good shows can grow and blume if given a chance. Note to FOX: you never should have cancelled Wonderfalls... or all the other shows that rocked.

Daisies pushes through with three Golden Globe, two DGA noms:

“Hello” Model Judge, Twiggy, Says Goodbye

Top Model judge and Fashion icon known might have been known saying "Hello" with a charming British accent each time she was introduced during her 4 season tenure, but she'll be replaced by Paulina Porizkova for cycle 10 due to scheduling conflicts. Let's all hope that the new Twiggy is a little less so and a little more Janice.

Porizkova takes Twiggy's 'Top Model' spot: "America's Next Top Model" viewers will see a new face on the judging panel for the reality competition's next installment. (Via The Hollywood Reporter - News.)

Katie Bashes Dan

God bless YouTube!

Katie Couric takes shot at Dan Rather on YouTube:

I used to be a director, so I saw anchors and reporters do and say lots on camera before a show. Well, with YouTube those behind-the-scenes moments tend to make it out. This Katie Couric clip was pretty funny…

The Two Doctors

From the white-on-rice-and-how-I'm-on-it department, BBC has a two timelords sharing the viewer tonight. Peter Davison and David Tennant have a special scene in a... special. 8pm, that's like 2pm my time, right?

The Two Doctors: Many a Doctor Who fan’s favourite was Tom Baker. Maybe because he stayed in the job the longest, probably more likely that he simply excellent at the part. However, I think who you grow up with has a lot to do with it, and I grew up with Peter Davison, and he was by far my favourite. Unashamedly English in style, he was also the first ‘young doctor’ and there hasn’t really been another youthful one until David Tennant. So it’s pant-wettingly exciting that they are appearing together tonight, to say the least. Steven Moffat has written the scene (who consistently turns out the best stories for the last 3 seasons), and Graeme Harper, the veteran Who director is involved too. It may only last 5 minutes in the end, but everything points to good time. Tonight - Children in need, BBC1, somewhere between 8 and 8:30! (Via hicksdesign - journal.)

WGA Strike, Day 7

This day's WGA youtube video is brought to us by Joss Whedon, who hails from down under or is currently starring in the new Indiana Jones movie or something. Yes yes yes, Joss, we all agree you should get a cut of the money earned, I just want to see the part where a Kangaroo jumps into the shot, or maybe a didgeridoo in the background. One commenter explained his opening lines about an upcoing tv show, "Dollhouse is the new show that Whedon is developing with Eliza Dushku" Good to know! clicky for the viddy, mate!

Japanese 24 commercial

I can't believe this isn't the theme in the US.

In Japan, 24 Has a Theme Song, and It's Ridiculous [Jack-ah Bauer]: "

24 is coming backmay or may not be coming back due to the strike, but there's a teaser freshly available on Xbox Live to whet your palate for yet another highly improbable, explosion-filled day, whenever it's coming. To give you an idea of what the show's like in the Far East, here are a couple of commercials for it from Japan featuring the Japan-only theme music. Yes, there are lyrics, and they include 'Ore wa Jack Bauer!' Why oh why is this song not played in the States? Hit the jump for a second ad.
