Did he say what the Spanish job was? I reckon he could manage a series of Doctor Who. John Barrowman manages to be on everything and he does who and Torchwood.
The BBC news website has pages and pages of people saying how much they don't want Catherine Tate in Doctor Who.

really I must go and join them

No he didn't but he did look totally knackered . No matter how much we want to see him in new things all the time he NEEDS a holiday. Preferably the 2nd week in Sept in a certain french seaside village in the south of France

He's only there for a few days then starts on Oliver the day after he comes back!! Maybe it's the barclaycard ads. The boy puts in more hours than even I can manage.

He needs someone to look after him and sort out his diary as well as cook him a decent meal.

I'm at the front of the queue

i might not be at the front of the queue but I'm probably bigger than you and prepared to fight!

ever heard of job sharing you could cover my days off

Why is everyone judging Catherine Tate before the series has even started? I thought she was brilliant in the Christmas Special.

I think she a talented actress and I reckon she will make a great companion.

Ah a lone voice in the wilderness. Fair enough Lord Chisletooth, my mum agrees with you

because catherine tate is annoying and not even half as talented as people make her out to be. they'd be better off getting jessica stevenson if they had to bring back a one-off

well said Queen Sue I've sent them an e-mail asking for my license fee back if they insist on spending anymore of my money on her

that is one major complaint about today though isn't it? no matter whether you like catherine tate or ricky gervais or whoever, you cant get away from them, they appear in anything and everything.

I think she could be okay - can't remember what I thought of her at Christmas, so she couldn't have done too badly. It might do her reputation good to do something different - after all, who'd ever have thought that Billie could act before she started!

I'm more concerned about Kylie tbh...

yeah, but kylie is doing a one-off xmas special and you can forgive a bit in those – hence forgiving them for catherine tate last time – but a whole series of her? I liked Martha, why not just keep her?

I refused to watch the xmas special as she was in it she is not funny and she can't act. It turns the whole history of doctor who into a farce. The earlier doctors must be spinning in their graves.

Maybe David Tennant could sacrific her to Darleks/ Cyberman anything, I'll only be tuning in when they kill her off

am i missing something btw? has she got a major role now? please god dont tell me shes the assistant?! i mean martha was about as 1 dimensional a character as was possible to cast, but at least she wasnt an over-acting cringe-athon with a face like a slapped ass. sorry i'll not forgive tate for ruining the last xmas special, tho the writers were keen enough to make it a farce, she was like the rotten tomato ont top of the stale cake.

she is the new assisant

There is an on-line petition if you go on the who forum

Theres a conspiracy theory going round that Russell T Davies has done it dliberately to ruin the show because hes leaving at the end of series 4

oh. my. god.

She was supposed to introduce a band at live earth today but didn't turn up. Has she gone into hiding.
To be fair I do quite like her but not as doctor whos companion. Shes to old and she will be competing with Tennant which will take away from the storylines. As I said before a male companion please. The lovey dovey stuff was getting right up my nose.

yeah, can't the face of bo be the companion, just for a bit? I love it when john barrowman is in it

Yes if it can't be JRT let it be the face of Bo. He and DT compliment eachother and they play it for laughs
