Doctor Who star David Tennant lands US TV role
Doctor Who star David Tennant is to play a gun-shy Chicago lawyer in a new US TV pilot, according to reports. The 38-year-old Scottish actor is the latest in a long line of British stars, including The Wire’s Dominic West and House star Hugh Laurie, who have been signed up by Hollywood execs to play Americans. Tennant is heading to the States star in Rex Is Not Your Lawyer. He will play Rex, a top lawyer, who becomes so crippled by panic attacks that he starts coaching his clients on how...

Rex Is Not Your Lawyer, but he is the Doctor, David Tennant
I consider this a huge coup for NBC. After traveling through time and space in the TARDIS the past several years, it looks like Doctor Who's David Tennant is heading stateside to take the lead in Rex is Not Your Lawyer . Tennant will star as Rex, a top Chicago litigator who becomes so crippled by anxiety that he takes to coaching his clients into representing themselves. The idea is completely madcap, but I think Tennant has just the right kind of wacky tenacity and cavalier bravado to pull off...

Expect Tears For David Tennant's Doctor's Farewell [Doctor Who]

The Doctor Attends A Wedding, Gives Nobody Away [Sarah Jane Recap]
It never fails: Just when you've finally got a new man in your life, the old boyfriend turns up to cause trouble. Actually, David Tennant's guest spot on the Sarah Jane Adventures was remarkably innuendo-free. This is how we know that Russell T. Davies is no longer really involved in running the Sarah Jane Adventures : if RTD had been in the mix, "The Wedding Of Sarah Jane" would have been laced with little references to the Doctor as Sarah Jane's former boyfriend, who's showing up to stop her...

U.S. airdate announced for next Doctor Who special

For those like myself whose cable company doesn't carry BBC America, we're S.O.L. Of course, the BBC British broadcast date is November 15th. In that gap, I'm sure even the less technically adept fan in the United States can snag a copy of the show, and fans of the show tend to be more capable when it comes to technology. Not that I'm encouraging such behavior. I'm simply...
