The Daily Teaser - 22-3-2012

Hmmm …

Well, THAT’S a thing.

Or, at least, that’s a thing for those of us who follow Dr Who, that’s something.

We fans NOW have the official news of the who’s going to be playing the new companion: an actress called Jenna-Louise Coleman: last seen — for those of us who follow these things — both in Emmerdale and Waterloo Road.

Hi, Paul! :) *waving frantically* I'm fine. My Internet connection was out all of Wednesday. I've been running around all day today. Barely managed to post to one of my blogs: http://writing4hire.blogspot.com/2012/03/i-feel-no-joy-in-posting-this.html

I think feathers will probably be ruffled, but someone had to say this.

I copy-tweeted it to Gene Weingarten. I wonder if he'll be interested. :)
