November 10, 2008Have you heard the news that David Tennant is stepping down as Doctor Who.
“When Doctor Who returns in 2010 it won’t be with me,” he said.
“Now don’t make me cry,” he added. “I love this part, and I love this show so much that if I don’t take a deep breath and move on now I never will, and you’ll be wheeling me out of the Tardis in my bath chair.” I cant believe that it was back in 2005 that David Tennant stepped into the Tardis and on to our screens (how time fly’s when your a time lord)! So I feel compelled to mention the Fireplace related episode that was aired on 6th May 2006 (this is a Fireplace blog after all).
Entitled The Girl in the Fireplace” (fourth episode of the second series) It is the only episode in the 2006 series written by Steven Moffat, and Sophia Myles guest-starred as the historical figure Madame de Pompadour.
The episode takes place in multiple time periods as the Tenth Doctor and characters Rose and Mickey find time windows leading to 18th century France and a group of clockwork androids using them to stalk Madame de Pompadour throughout her life. Doctor Who writer Russell T. Davies described the episode as a love story for the Doctor. Overall, “The Girl in the Fireplace” was well-received by most critics despite the time constraints imposed on the plot; the episode was nominated for a Nebula Award and won the 2007 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form.
