David On Learners
David has been talking about his latest role as Chris in the one off comedy drama Learners. He reckons the part of the
geeky driving instructor may put an end to his reputation as a heart throb.
"It was time to set the record straight," he joked. "I'd made a couple of deeply inaccurate
appearances in some of those 'sexy men' charts.
Describing his character, Chris, as "not the sexiest article in the world", David admits that
his wardrobe in the show wasn't exactly high fashion.
"What he wears isn't geek chic - it's just geek," he said. "Suits and trainers is geek chic,
but not milk bottle glasses and a haircut from 1964. He's not someone who ever considers what he looks like."
He also confessed
that he mainliy accepted the role because he wanted another chance to work with Jessica Hynes again.
They worked together on the Doctor Who episodes, Human Nature and The Family Of Blood.
"Jessica was
on Doctor Who and she told me she had this thing coming up," he explained.
"She's one of those actors who is so in the moment each time, in
every scene, that she never fails to inspire you," he raved.
"I've always been a fan of Jessica and when I worked with her, I
became even more of a fan."

Learners Air Date Announced
The BBC have announced that Learners will air on Sunday 11th November at 21:00pm on BBC One.
They say:
David Tennant and Jessica Hynes star in this heart-warming, one-off comedy drama following the trials and tribulations
of a group of learner drivers.
Bev is a downtrodden wife who's failed her driving test eight times. She's desperate to pass, yet frustrated at her husband
Ian's impatient approach when teaching her to drive. When Bev is inspired by glamorous driving school owner Fiona, she's determined
to succeed along with a group of other learner drivers.
Chris, who has the patience of a saint, is assigned as her instructor and it's not long before Bev develops a crush on
him, despite his geeky appearance...
Jessica Hynes (née Stephenson) is Bev, Shaun Dingwall is Ian, Sarah Hadland is Fiona and David Tennant is Chris.

New Novels Revealed
Click pic to enlarge!
The
Official BBC Doctor Who site have revealed the new artwork and synopis' of the next batch of Doctor and Martha novels:
Martha in the Mirror - by Justin Richards
Castle Extremis - whoever holds it can control the provinces either side that have been at war for centuries. Now the castle
is about to play host to the signing of a peace treaty. But as the Doctor and Martha find out, not everyone wants the war
to end.
Who is the strange little girl who haunts the castle? What is the secret of the book the Doctor finds, its pages made from
thin, brittle glass? Who is the hooded figure that watches from the shadows? And what is the secret of the legendary Mortal
Mirror?
The Doctor and Martha don't have long to find the answers - an army is on the march, and the castle will soon be under
siege once more.
Snowglobe 7 - by Mike Tucker
Earth, 2099. Global warming is devastating the climate. The polar ice caps are melting.
In a desperate attempt at preservation the Governments of the world have removed vast sections of the Arctic and Antarctic
and set them inside huge domes across the world. The Doctor and Martha arrive in Snowglobe 7 in the Middle East, hoping for
peace and relaxation. But they soon discover that it's not only ice and snow that has been preserved beneath the Dome.
While Martha struggles to help with an infection sweeping through the holidaymakers the Doctor discovers an alien threat
that has lain hidden since the last ice age. A threat that is starting to thaw.
The Many Hands - by Dale Smith
Edinburgh, 1759.
The Nor' Loch is being filled in. If you ask the soldiers there, they'll tell you it's a stinking cesspool that the city
can do without. But that doesn't explain why the workers won't go near the place without an armed guard.
That doesn't explain why they whisper stories about the loch giving up its dead, about the minister who walked into his
church twelve years after he died.
It doesn't explain why, as they work, they whisper about a man called the Doctor. And about the many hands of Alexander
Monro.
All three novels will be released on 1st May 2008 and can be pre ordered from our shop here. The BBC are also looking for people to write reviews of the latest novels, Forever Autumn, Wetworld and Sick Building. Click here to submit a review to them.
