The BBC are offering fans a Valentines treat in the form of David's short Film Nine And A Half Minutes. They say:If you've ever wondered what going on a date with David Tennant would be like, and let's face it, who hasn't, the
BBC Film Network has the answer. They've just published romantic comedy Nine and a Half Minutes on their site. Made back in
2002, it stars the Tenth Doctor actor alongside Zoe Telford. They play Charlie and Heather, a couple who meet on a blind date
and then go on to imagine a whole relationship in just under ten minutes. Warning - the film does contain some very strong
language, alongside images of David Tennant pretending to be a crocodile wrestler.

Can you trust him? Is he always disappearing?, It's hilarious.'
Most Haunted Psychic Derek Acorah will also be in the episode playing himself, he recently told the Liverpool Echo that
he filmed his part in Cardiff before Christmas. He also added that David and Billie had asked for readings and had since phoned

Here's an attack not even the sonic screwdriver could prevent - Doctor Who being mobbed
by schoolchildren.Pupils from Marlborough Junior School couldn't contain their excitement when
they saw actor David Tennant filming scenes for the TV series near their school in Penylan, Cardiff.Deputy
headteacher Robert Cook, who brought the group to watch, said: 'Lots of the children are big fans. Ever since they found out
it was being filmed here, they've been unable to talk about anything else.'TV star Tennant posed
for photographs, signed autographs and chatted with the children. Alice Fogaty, nine, said: 'I
like seeing how the actors do their job.' Fellow pupil Mehrnaz Vaizirian, said: 'I got an autograph.
It was really exciting.' Yomna Gharib, said: 'I'm looking forward to seeing it on television.
'It was cool seeing the filming.' Part of Bleinheim Terrace and
nearby roads were closed to traffic and transformed into a scene from the 1950s.One shop on the
junction with Amesbury Road was converted into a shop called Magpie Electricals.To fit in with
the coronation-era scene, David Tennant was sporting a quiff, and stunt doubles for the actor, and sidekick Billie Piper,
were involved in a chase on a scooter.

Meanwhile ICWales and the South Wales Echo are also reporting:
RESIDENTS of a city street were faced with a blast from the past when they opened their curtains to see Doctor Who being
filmed outside.
Florentia Street, in Cathays, Cardiff, has been decked out with bunting and turned into a scene from the 1950s.Vintage
cars were parked on the street and on a wall was an old advert for HP sauce.
Curious passers-by were amazed to see the television series stars Billie Piper and David Tennant and the Tardis itself
made an appearance.
Evan Chapman, 39, of nearby Tewkesbury Street, who works at the National Museum and Gallery,
said: "I didn't know what was happening so I came down for a look.
"I'm surprised to see all the bunting, I'd presumed the road was closed for the gas board.
"It will be curious to see the area on television."
Gareth Jones, 28, from Llanedeyrn, said: "It's all good fun - although it does look a bit
strange."
Florentia Street, which was changed to the fictional Florizel Street, and parts of adjoining
Monthermer Road, have been closed to traffic while the filming, due to finish tomorrow, takes place.
Diversions have been arranged and traffic is being made to stop for a minute at a time so
modern vehicles don't get filmed.
And thanks to our friends at Outpost Gallifrey for the following photos of David taken on location by Neil Ingleson:

The cover for the new Doctor Who novel The Stone Rose has been revealed.
According to Amazon the book is due to be released on 13th April. They say:
Mickey is startled to find a statue of Rose in a museum - a statue that is 2,000 years old. The Doctor realizes that
this means the TARDIS will shortly take them to Ancient Rome, but when it does, he and Rose soon have more on their minds
than sculpture. While the Doctor searches for a missing boy, Rose befriends a girl who claims to know the future. But then,
the Doctor stumbles on the hideous truth behind the statue of Rose - and Rose herself learns that you have to be very careful
what you wish for...

Emma from our forum was lucky enough to see David and Billie Piper filming
a new Doctor Who episode, The Idiot's Lantern, yesterday. Here's her report so far:
This is as much as I can remember about watching the filming of Doctor Who [Episode 7 -- The Idiot's Lantern] in
Florentia Street, Cathays, Cardiff.
So first off the day before [ie; yesterday] I had seen flags and army people in the
Uni gardens. Kinda thought "that must be Doctor Who" because well 1) everything was clean and 2) they had only the union jack
flying [if it had been something to do with Wales there would've been the Welsh one too. A lot of Doctor Who is set in London
but filmed in Cardiff ergo the Jack on its own screamed Doctor Who. Well, to me at least. heh. Couldn't stop then though because
I had a lecture. Though interestingly this morning I noticed there were set decorations on a statue in the Civic Centre so
I dunno if they plan to film there too.
ANYWAY on to the good stuff. So I arrived about 12ish. A few of the girls from
the HP soc were already there [including Kathryn who stayed the longest]. Tonks [a girl from the HP soc nicknamed as such
because she used to have bright pink hair] said they had earlier filmed scenes where the Doctor aka David Tennant was riding
a moped into the TARDIS. Thrilling stuff.
The security guys were for the most part very helpful and even gave us guidance
on where to stand so that we could see stuff but also be out of the shot and out of the way. Florentia Street was decorated
with loads of Union Jack flags. Rose aka Billie Piper was wearing a bright pink skirt and what looked like a blue denim top
and the Doctor was in his usual suit with a fifties hairstyle. From what I've heard about the episode it has something to
do with the Coronation of the Queen and TV sets. Lots of extras were dressed up, most of the men in flat caps. However one
of the guards said to us it was to do with the Olympics though I don't know how true that is. Maybe he was trying to fob us
off *shrug*
We mainly saw three scenes. One where someone was being pushed into an old fashioned Rolls Royce. Another was
of the Doctor and Rose making what looked like a getaway on the aforementioned moped. The rehearsal of this was particularly
funny because it was sans moped so Billie ind of jumped onto David's back.
Shortly after the cast and crew went for lunch
and being the avid fans that we are, Kathryn and I [along with several new-found DW enthusiast friends] proceeded around the
corner and hovered outside the place where the trailers were. We stood there for a long time. Eventually Billie Piper and
David Tennant emerged but they seemed in a rush so I assume they were behind schedule [by that point it had also started spitting
with rain].
As David turned the corner Kathryn grabbed my arm, pointed and we both started bouncing and squealing. Looking
back I can't imagine what we must've looked like, especially with our Slytherin scarfs. Shameless fangirls. After that we
managed to watch a scene actually being filmed [rather than rehearsed] involving the Doctor talking to someone in a car and
then making a speech about how wonderful life was [or something like that]. Couldn't really hear the exact dialogue because
we were too far away but we could make out his high-pitched shrieks and it was funny seeing him bounce around. Then someone
screamed and the Doctor and Rose ran in the direction of a house [which a bunch of people had taken a TV into earlier in the
scene]. They repeated that same sequence 3 or 4 times and then moved on again. At which point we left because it was getting
really cold.

The Daily Star are reporting that David is learning to ride a motor bike
in Cardiff on his days off from filming Doctor Who. Who'd have thought it when he has a TARDIS!

Thanks to Victoria for letting us know that David was on the Who's Calling
Christian? section on Virgin Radio a few weeks ago. Apparently the idea is to ask a celebrity to phone in, in order for
you to be in with a chance of winning £20,000, and someone managed to persuade Mr Tennant to phone up the show. You
can listen to his chat here.
