We could have had more David and Matt and other recent news

I thought I would share a few links regarding Matt and the upcoming anniversary special. Let us begin with a video of the cast and creator talking about The Day of the Doctor.


Matt gave an interview discussing behind the scenes info of Day of the Doctor here

Hollywood Reporter went on set of the upcoming special and reported:
What did Tennant do to snap back into the role of the Doctor? "I had to go and get a couple of DVDs," he acknowledged. "It just sort of came back. It's something about its energy. It's not naturalistic like most other things are. It's the tone that's unlike anything else. That's what people find when they guest on it. It's been a lovely thing to revisit."

Asked about his return to the set, he said: "Coming back to Wales and seeing the trailer and everything hanging there like [before] was strange. I thought: Did I just dream the last bit?"

Coleman said she also enjoyed the return of the Doctor Who alumni. "I enjoy kind of having a gang," she told reporters. "We were all swapping tales and Doctor Who stories. They've lived through what we're doing now."

Smith shared some insight into what playing Doctor Who means. "It's unexpected to have people dress up as you, watch people have little figures of you," he said. "There are so many things you can't share with anyone. It sounds like bragging or moaning. It's such a dominant experience in your life, and that's hard to communicate to people."

Asked about weird experiences with fans, Smith said: "I have been followed to the toilet by a man, and his wife -- Sheila or so -- was on the phone, and I was having a wee. I said dude this is not the best time for me. Then I washed my hands and said hello."

Matt also responded to the alleged criticism of the show being too sexual here I have included an excerpt below.

Original director Waris Hussein was quoted as saying that 'an element ... of sexuality' had crept into the sci-fi drama.

But Matt told the Daily Mirror: "I strongly disagree. Doctor Who is just rollocking good fun with the odd snog here and there.

"For sure, Karen (Gillan) is hot, so too Billie (Piper) and Jenna (Coleman), but is that a bad thing? I don't think so.

"What's he want us to do, put everyone in straitjackets?

"Look at the history of the show, there were women in Tarzanian outfits, were there not, back in the early days?"

Just in case you missed it (like I did), Steven Moffat rejects the idea of more David and Matt here

Matt told me that he’d worked out this plan that they’d both continue in Doctor Who: do five individual episodes each and three together – would that be ok?

"It was a nice plan. I think if I’d said yes they’d have gone for it."
