Going to Comic-Con is awesome on many levels, but going as press is, if you'll forgive my butchery of the English language, even awesomer. Not that we keyboard-stained wretches get into crowded events more easily than everyone else—Comic-Con is remarkably egalitarian that way—but we do get the opportunity to interview some of our favorite actors, directors, and creators. Some of those interviews I'll be publishing as blog posts in coming weeks, but I thought I'd share the interviews with the of Doctor Who folks right way.
In the following audio you can listen in on what amounted to a 20-minute chat with David Tennant
(The Doctor, obviously) and Julie Gardner
(executive producer and now head of drama for BBC Worldwide) and five reporters. You'll here Tennant and Gardner talk about shooting "Planet of the Dead
," the sadness of ending their time working with the Doctor, their futures, and the possibility of Tennant attending the next day's panel naked. Both are charming, and I think you'll enjoy it. (The recording is a little noisy at the start, but on the upside, you'll get to hear Tennant expressing amazement at all the recorders paced in front of him. Also, you'll hear a lot of reporters asking questions, but no, none of them are me.)
