Dr. Who geekiness

[danaeris]

At metalana's place last night, someone said that Anthony Head would be playing Dr. Who in the next season. Jack Harkness was also discussed.

So, for clarification, the real skinny:

David Tenant will be playing the tenth Doctor, in the wake of Christopher Eccleston, who played the ninth Doctor.

John Barrowman, who plays Captain Jack Harkness, will be starring in a spin off series called Torchwood, coming in late 2006.

Billie Piper is rumoured to have decided to leave the show following the second season.

Anthony Head will be appearing as a guest star on the third episode of the second season. He will NOT be playing the Doctor. (see section under Master at link below)

Glad that got straightened out. I wonder how many episodes ASH will be featured in?

My impression is that he will only be appearing in the one episode, playing the headmaster of a school. But its hard to tell/say at this point.

We can always hope for more right! ;-)
I'm planning to make it to the social tonight... See you there!

Indeed! ASH is hawt. And a fun actor, and a good singer. He played Frankie in the stage production of Rocky Horror!

Sweet. I'll be arriving sometime around 5, depending on how long the transit time ends up being. See you there indeed!
