David Tennant, who plays the current 10th Doctor in the brilliant series, Doctor Who, may be replaced come 2011 by Paterson Joseph. What makes this interesting is that he’ll be playing the first non-white Doctor. Mind you, at this point it’s still rumour (remember to keep your pinches of salt handy, people!), but I’ll definitely [...]

The latest Battlestar Galactica: Things get weird
Posted in TV, tagged battlestar galactica, Sci-Fi, television on May 13, 2008 | 1 Comment »

What [...]

How can she have been to Earth? What [...]
