Barrowman Confirms TW Series 4

[Deckerd]

I always wanted to see Barrowman and Tennant talking West lowland Scottish banter to each other.

 

[Starkers]

That would be good!

 

[WillsBabe]

If they can find some middle ground between S2 and CoE I think S4 could be brilliant!

I agree. A little bit of middle ground would be nice (and I say that as someone who utterly adored CoE).

 

[Australis]

Anyone know if we see Jack between now and then? Does he turn up in Who next year?

He has a cameo in Tennant's last episodes; basically just a one-scene deal.

Sounds like one of those "life flashing before your eyes" deals.

 

[Kelthaz]

Nice to see some confirmation, but I can't say I wasn't expecting this. Given the success of Children of Earth and the popularity of Barrowman a renewal was inevitable.

 

[Mitty]

I would almost predict that Jacks appearance in End of Time will be

Spoiler: Spoiler

prior Children of Earth in his own personal Timeline, and possibly before he even met the 9th Doctor.

Glad I made sense. I loved CoE too, but I think if they try to replicate it they'll fail.

By the same token I'm not sure they can go back to fish men driving sports cars either!

Well, supposedly that's how Rose's appearance is going to work, so I wonder if they'd do that same trick twice.

I was really, REALLY hoping that the BBC wouldn't waste more of my license fee on this crap but it doesn't look like that's likely.

 

[Bob The Skutter]

They might not be wasting your licence fee on this, they may just be wasting it on coffee, or a few days worth of wages for a runner, or something.

 

[captcalhoun]

your licence fee paid for...

*checks*

one hour's filming on last night's Eastenders.

Bob's went on....

a camera crew's wages covering Wimbledon.

mine went on...

bog rolls at TVC.

 

[Starkers]

Mine went on paying Emila Fox's wages for 10 minutes work on Merlin...hey a guy can dream!

I'd rather they waste it on this than another costume drama/police series/sitcom/football match/celebrity on holiday masquerading as documentary/house-buying programme/soap opera. But that's just me.

 

[Starkers]

^well it depends. If it came down to it I'd take Spooks over Torchwood and possibly Waking the Dead.

Spooks vs Dr Who...that would be Sophie's choice!

 

[Deckerd]

Surely you can't mean that. Spooks lost it seasons ago.

 

[Bob The Skutter]

Surely you can't mean that. Spooks lost it seasons ago.

Agreed. Spooks hasn't been anything other than "decent" in about 4 years.

 

[Starkers]

I beg to differ but I don't wanna get into a row about it

 

[Bob The Skutter]

I beg to differ but I don't wanna get into a row about it

Well I want a fight!

I dunno what it is but it never holds my attention any more. Feels kinda played out to me.

 

[Starkers]

Still grips me, even though they are going over old ground again the whole thing is just so well written and acted and slickly produced that I still love it.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

I'm sorry, I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around the idea of any show rivaling Doctor Who as alternative to watch, let alone Spooks.
