So with much news and everything circulating around the recent San Diego Comic Con 2009, we were able to receive some awesome exclusive pictures from Carolyn. Carolyn Koh who covers MMO games for magazines like Massive Online Gamer and www.mmorpg.com was kind and awesome enough to stand in line for almost two hours to get us some exclusive photographs of David Tennant at Comic Con this year. Thank you so much Carolyn!

There are also several videos I need to sort through and upload as well, plus other bunches upon bunches of pictures.

And before I forget, you don’t need to register for the gallery anymore xD

In this special episode, your Tennant Empire hosts Kelsey, Kari and Flossie celebrate their small, but noteworthy accomplishment of reaching ten episodes! It was only the girls in this episode, but we enjoyed simple “partying” and rambles from everything from horror movies to dress codes. In news, Flossie and Kelsey have no faith in the upcoming St. Trinian’s (apart from David, of course!), and all agree this Bilbo Baggins possible casting is all talk. This episode is particularly special, because, at the very end, we have very sweet comments sent in from Cate, Sarah, George, Ryan, and… A secret message to Kari and Flossie

Doctor Who is often seen as a quintessentially English character — an eccentric fearlessly fighting Daleks and Cybermen with the help of his TARDIS time machine in the shape of a 1950s London police box.

Now the TV hero is out to conquer America, where, despite enjoying a loyal following, he has yet to compete with other science fiction series like “Star Trek.”

David Tennant, the 10th actor to play the “Time Lord,” has made four special episodes for the BBC series that will be shown in 2009 and 2010, filling the gap before his successor, Matt Smith, appears on screens.

On July 26 the first episode “Doctor Who: Planet of the Dead” will be aired on BBC America, part of the British Broadcasting Corporation, and available in stores there two days later on DVD and Blu-ray.

“Growing up with Doctor Who, I was aware it had an international life,” Tennant said in a telephone interview to publicize the U.S. launch.

“It has never quite conquered America in the mainstream. Even now it’s still not quite in everybody’s consciousness, although the following it has is devoted. BBC America is keen to bridge that gap.”

Tennant, popular with fans since taking over as the Time Lord in 2005, believes that Doctor Who’s international popularity may be explained by his being so British.

“That may be part of its appeal overseas, of course, in the same way of (Agatha Christie’s) Miss Marple and other British brands,” said the 38-year-old Scot. “It’s not sci-fi in the traditional American way, it’s not jocks in space.”

n Planet of the Dead, Doctor Who is trapped on a desert planet without the TARDIS. When a London bus arrives in the same world, he joins forces with the mysterious Lady Christina to get back home, with the unfortunate bus passengers.

Tennant said that, like other Doctors before him, he had been concerned at first about accepting a role which could prove hard to shake off once he stood down.

“I worried a little,” he said, referring to his decision to play the part in 2005. “It would have been peculiar not to have had that thought. (But) I was replacing Christopher Eccleston who was hugely respected as a very versatile and varied actor.”

Tennant felt he had been considered for roles partly thanks to the profile Doctor Who gave him, and doubted it would significantly limit opportunities in the future.

Toward the end of his tenure as Doctor Who, Tennant played the title role in a stage production of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” which earned him generally glowing reviews, and he will appear in the forthcoming St. Trinian’s comedy movie sequel.

Asked how he felt now his Doctor Who successor Smith had been unveiled to the media, Tennant replied:

“I expected it to feel weirder than it did. It is exciting to be experiencing Doctor Who as a spectator again, and what is also nice is that I am as much in the dark as everyone else.

“I remember how that felt,” added the life-long fan of a character who first appeared on television in 1963. “It was thrilling and terrifying and a very exciting time.”

Doctor Who star David Tennant and Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding are joining the cast of the new St Trinian’s movie, it has been confirmed.

The pair will star alongside Rupert Everett and Colin Firth in St Trinian’s II: The Legend of Fritton’s Gold.

It follows the success of 2007′s St Trinian’s, which grossed £15 million at the UK box office.

A spokeswoman for the movie said Harding, 27, will play a “cool new schoolgirl”.

It is not her first stint on the big screen as Harding played a cameo role in the 2007 film, alongside her bandmates.

She has also filmed a gritty BBC drama called Freefall.

Tennant, 38, whose role as the Doctor will be taken over by Matt Smith, will turn from hero to villain – playing a character called Pomfrey, who has sidekicks from a women-hating secret society.

Ashes to Ashes actress Montserrat Lombard is also joining the line-up.

I for one am really excited :3

Tennantcast #9 was recorded yesterday, and as part of the character series, we watched The Tales of Para Handy. We have media videos now, featuring all the scenes including David. And, as a bonus, I made a Tales of Para Handy page. Remember my dream of having a gigantic filmography? I’m reworking on that again. Enjoy!

Part one. Part two. Part three. Part Four.

Your hosts Kari, Kelsey and Flossie are joined once again by George (remember him from Episode 7?) to discuss Einstein & Eddington, this week’s “Character series.” They also talk about Doctor Who aging thanks to an interview David did for the Chicago Tribune, Kelsey’s clocks intervene and David is dubbed Scottish Robin Hood in the Picture of the Week. We also learn a neat Latin fact. This week’s podcast could prove to be the most educational thus far.
