Crikey!

So.

I went to see the Graham Norton show filming. Nothing much special about that. Ahh, but this show had a certain Mr Tennant as guest, so therefore was pretty damn good. This is the story of that show...

After mailing the show when they asked for DW fans, I was more than surprised to be offered tickets with reserved seats - had to be there by 5.30, no queuing really and taken in early. Lovely! Then had another mail, asking for questions for David about DW. Send a couple off, one being about the Myrka, but with no hope of being picked to ask anything (my feeling was right, but never mind)

Met Alison in the pub (my plus one), went down to studio and waited a little while in the freezing wind, then got wrist bands and taken into the studio. Our seats had our names on, and I was fourth row centre, so was very pleased.

Warm up man came and went and finally, time to start the show. David was first out and, blessings of blessings, appeared to be wearing a brown velvet suit, white shirt and pink/blue flowered tie. Alison and I are sure it is velvet and sure it is new - nicely fitted and very VERY smart. Hair looked good... Good hair.

So much happened, it is so difficult to remember it all - He did at one point do a very dramatic impression of Timothy Dalton's voiceover in the upcoming eps, called himself a fanboy, did another very good impression of a fanboy when discussing DW being broadcast on a Sunday for the first time - 'I think you'll find, Mr Norton that 'The Christmas Invasion' was broadcast on Sunday, Christmas Day falling on that day that year.' He also talked about 'Rex' a little, mentioned he'd done 'a few' auditions in the US, and also that the final filming of DW was very emotional, that he doesn't think it's really sunk in yet that he's left, but he will always be 'the Doctor'. There was also a quite filthy but very funny conversation between him and Johnny Vegas about a Pringles tube that I'm sure won't get left in, but his face was priceless during most of it (as it was during most of Johnny's stories, really)

There is more I'm forgetting, I'm sure - I think what I'll do is leave it at that now because I really do have to be up for work at 4.30 am tomorrow and it is nearly 12am already. I will blog more if/when I remember tomorrow afternoon.
