GoogleNews is occasionally like crack

The Murdoch press has an interview with Billie P, which is nice, and the Courier Fail accompanies it with a 45-part picspam gallery of Doctor Who photos.  My favourite is the one where they describe Jack as an Alternate Time Lord.  (There's also a Special Examination of Semi-Nudity In The Pop Industry, if that's your thing.  I wouldn't get too excited, though, the definition of "semi-nude" has been expanded to include the category previously known as "fully dressed".)

There's also a column by a features editor, arguing that what we really need is an old man playing the Doctor again, as opposed to someone female gay fruity poncy young.  (Seriously, the link to this column from the picture gallery was "Fans say no to poncy Doctor Who".)

Meanwhile, The Sun reports that Billie's next role will be playing a single mum on a council estate, who discovers that her estranged father is a millionaire.  I'm pretty sure they just got that from the 'recent stories' page on the Teaspoon.

That next role of hers sounds like...Jackie and Rose melded together. Hmm.

Independent of any ulterior motives, old man Doctors are cool. But then, I've liked apparent young man Doctors too.

Yeah. I'd be sad if, as some people have suggested, we never again see a Doctor over 40. But I'd be equally sad if younger actors were excluded forever as well.
