I've been a bit busy preparing for and getting over Hurrican Ike so I am very behind in my blog reading. <BR/><BR/>Still waiting for the tree limbs etc. to be hauled away but compared to many, we were so lucky.

We had 1 season with him and BIllie, the Christmas invasion with Catherine Tate, 1 season with Freema, and now this. Am I missing anything?<BR/><BR/>I'd say you're very confused! Season 1 was Chris Eccleston and Billie, Season 2 was DT and Billie (and The Christmas Invasion starred both of them, while The Runaway Bride starred DT and Catherine Tate), Season 3 was DT and Freema, Season 4 (just starting in Canada) is DT and Catherine Tate...<BR/><BR/>> Has DT galvanized the fan base like he has here? I find myself scouring YouTube for clips of him on late night Brit shows (where's he's very funny but gee, don't I have another life somewhere? no I am a DT fan)<BR/><BR/>Well if I tell you that tickets for the brief London run of Hamlet were sold out within five hours of them going on sale to the general public (as opposed to RSC members) because fans were buying them up because the tickets for the Stratford run are on returns-only, and that kids as young as 10 are going to see Hamlet for the sake of David Tennant playing the role, I think you can say he's galvanised the fans... <BR/><BR/>There are rumours flying around that someone else will be playing the Doctor come the full-length Season 5 (after next year's Specials are done) and vast numbers of fans are horrified at the idea of losing him from the role.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888298679182871669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162585.post-17531747033828634882008-09-18T03:02:00.000+01:002008-09-18T03:02:00.000+01:00I think they must have skipped season 3 then (or I...I think they must have skipped season 3 then (or I am losing my memory).
