The Doctor Needs You
We here at the Timelord50.co.uk like to think that our community is more that just watching the television show, it's a celebration of it! But we could do with a little help to make this community and it's blogger site grow.
Would you like to write for us?
We are looking for contributors to our site, people who may have ambitions to be writers and maybe have a passion for writing about Doctor Who! Ideally people who are Doctor Who fans and can do reviews about your favourite stories, characters or merchandise! In short any article about the series or it's many spin-offs! But like the show itself we like to keep it upbeat. Any negative opinions should be balanced as it's a policy of the timelord50.co.uk not to deride any of the television stories.
So if you would like to put yourself forward as a contributor, please get in touch with us. You can either DM or tweet @timelord50blog, you can also email us too, contact details are timelord50@hotmail.co.uk
We look forward to hearing from you all.
Karen Gillan to star in romantic comedy
The Doctor Who actress will play a writer in indie movie Not Another Happy Ending
She’s best known from TV as Doctor Who companion Amy Pond, but Karen Gillan has just landed her first lead movie role.
Scottish rom-com Not Another Happy Ending will see Gillan play an eccentric and highly strung novelist who’s achieved success with a particularly miserable brand of storytelling and now finds herself suffering from writer’s block.
Her publisher, played by fellow Scot Emun Elliott, quickly realises that her inability to write stems from the fact that she is now simply too happy - and sets about trying to change that. In the process, of course, he realises he has fallen in love with her…
Director John McKay, who worked with Andie MacDowell in another romcom, 2001’s Crush, said of his new leads: “We have two of the newest, hottest, sexiest pair of lead actors out of Scotland. Just right for the kind of quirky, romantic indie movie Not Another Happy Ending is set to be.”
Production on the film is scheduled to begin towards the end of the year or the beginning of 2012.
The announcement follows another first for 23-year-old Gillan - she makes her West End debut in October, starring in a production of John Osborne’s Inadmissible Evidence.
