The End Of Time Part 2 Sneak Peak

John Simm interview: who’s the baddie?

John Simm, an actor so affable he lives in fear of offending every fan he meets, is tight-lipped on whether he actually bumps off David Tennant’s Doctor Who this Christmas. But he certainly had fun trying

In the night before we meet, John Simm had caught the Tube home after the curtain came down on Speaking in Tongues, the West End show he’s been starring in for the past three months. He has been doing this throughout the run. He pulls his cap down over his face, sticks his nose in a book and no one ever bothers him. Until last night, that is.

'This woman came and sat next to me,’ he says. 'I realised she’d followed me from the theatre. It turned out she’d come from Vienna and she had been to see the show four times. She just sat there staring at me. I had to jump out of the train at Euston and try to lose her, but she jumped out too. I lost her in the end, but it was just ridiculous. And unnerving, you know.’

From The Daily Record...

"Tom Baker reckons he's never stopped being Doctor Who - 28 years after his last adventure.

The 75-year-old may have become a household name to a different generation as the narrator of Little Britain, but to anyone growing up in the Seventies and Eighties, he is to Doctor Who what Sean Connery is to James Bond.
And although it's been almost 30 years since he battled Daleks, Tom is still the most popular Time Lord. Now, the fourth Doctor is back in a series of new audiobooks which will be released next month."
