This Morning The TARDIS Arrived...

The big day finally came today: John Barrowman interviewed David Tennant on This Morning, the first major meeting (bar a quick run in during John's Pantomine last year) between the two stars. Sadly, Billie Piper was a no-show (she's ill apparently - get well soon!). Her absense wasn't too noticable though - thanks mostly to one John Barrowman, as ever, being on top form.

DFOCTOR WHO RETURNS - ALAS, WITHOUT CAPTAIN JACK

Tennant came with an added beard, and he talked about two specific topics : New Earth's broadcast (Saturday, 7:15 PM, BBC One folks!), as well as the return of Sarah-Jane Smith and K9 in episode three "School Reunion". John desperately tried to extract more information from his future co-star, but all his attempts were futile. It was a great moment when John chatted to David about his return in series three, because he doesn't half sound excited by the idea! It's claer that John's missing the Doctor Who fold - so he should be counting down the days to May just like all of us then!

Anyway, today's hot news is that John recently went to a modeling session for Character Options. Yes, that's right folks, the Captain Jack action figure is coming out in June, as John 'exclusively' revealled today. Whether or not this will be a Doctor Who series one or Torchwood series one figure remains to be seen. But one thing's for sure - Captain Jack's back. At long, long last.

How could you not mention the bunny section? Well since you forgot, here's a summary:

After the trailer for the competition, John and Fern appeared wearing bunny ears which John couldn't wait to put on according to Fern. Then he turned round and showed off a bunny tail pinned to the back of his jacket.

Fern summed him up pretty well by saying "you just like to play don't you?" "Yes" replied John with a gorgeous grin ;) so then she said "he's a bad boy!" (a comment John also appeared to like).

The costumes were part of a discussion on easter egg decorating kits, complete with kids to demonstrate them. They also had little baby bunnies in a pen in the middle in front of the tables. John couldn't resist "going to the petting zoo" as Fern put it and picking up a little bunny. It was so sweet when he said "Let me pick up a fluffy bunny...awww" and kissed it.

John Barrowman in a funny costume with small fluffy animals - what more could you want in the morning?

Oh and another funny moment was when John decided they should taste the sauce one of the chefs had made to go with the Thai Fishcakes. He gave some to Fern who didn't react then tried it himself and said it was a little hot for him (then pulled a funny face) lol.

Richard Wilson said that he laughed a lot during the panto (partly due to gestures John made at him which he couldn't repeat) and John said he'd never seen One Foot in the Grave til Panto, when he decided he should find out what it was like since they were working together.

Can't wait for tomorrow - it just gets better and better every day!

Thursday's show will be the last time we see Barrowman on screen for quite a while. I hear he's going to be a little busy for a while now...

Re. the caption: I suppose you can wager well that technically, the Doctor is indeed with Cpt. Jack there ;)
