I didn't know how else to send this to you for possible posting, Jess, other than e-mailing you and I wasn't sure if that was welcomed... so sorry if this is advertising or something.

Dunno if anyone else knows LittleRadge of YouTube (bit of a David Tennant look-alike), but he posted a video recently in all seriousness about folks online pretending to be David Tennant and things. Here's the link:

It sounded important enough to me to spread it around. Thanks!

I'm in the middle of a mammoth clearing of my emails (tis like a jungle in my inbox) and looking now, I've found your email!

Of course it was fine to get in contact, thats whats so brilliant - that people take the time to let me know about things I've missed :)

I'll add a note to the bottom of the post, although you've kinda done the job already!

Thanks for letting me know about it!

LOL, I didn't e-mail you, somebody else must have had the same idea, hehe. Thanks for the update! =) (Nice to know I can e-mail you with Doctor Who things too, thanks!)

Btw, John Mortimer died?! =( I know that doesn't really have to do with Who news, but that article about John Scott Martin (sad about him!) mentioned the author and I was sorry to hear about it. I just loved the Rumpole stories, and I highly recommend them!

Haha, yup it was someone else who emailed! Ah, foolish foolish me...

I watched the video, good to know. Did you know that the same guy is in a Trock band called Chameleon Circuit? They're actually pretty good. I don't know if you've ever done a post on Trock bands, but they're starting to become a pretty big deal. (BTW, "Trock"=timelord rock, Dr. Who-themed music. Kind of like "Wrock," which is Harry Potter themed music.)

Wow This Boy look like David tennant but it not David tennant.

I think "guy" would be a better word, Anonymous... he's like 19 or something.

Anyway, yeah, Trock. Started by nerimon, I think, or maybe charlieissocoollike... I think they're all in that group Chameleon Circuit. Anyway, pretty fun stuff. :)
