She then rekindled her romance with mechanic Mickey Smith and found herself a job as a shop assistant at Henrik's department store. It was whilst working here that she first met the Doctor in 2005.</span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After she helped the Doctor defeat the Nestene Conciousness ('Rose') she was invited to join the Doctor on board the TARDIS. </span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">During her travels in the TARDIS Rose met Charles Dickens and was made a Dame by Queen Victoria. She saw the war-torn London of 1941 and the post-war London of 1953. She and the Doctor took a trip to the 2012 London Olympics and she visited a spaceship 3,000 years after her own time. She chatted to a French aristocrat 250 years before she herself was born and had a narrow escape from Japan's 14th century capital Kyoto. </span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She also saw what would become of television in the 200.001st century and a future for the human race badly at odds with the Doctor's description of a 'great and bountiful Empire.'</span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSItAvqABYWnVViFF5jqTitXhK2bi40uWW3Y__YlQdX5PQA3jOvYeAym0Q_gHJHUcJ5cyEVtpWT-xIyXXYUsldteCT1tLwsPq3dZnxHksWqSrVNOLvoEU_Idw9rBQAcon75eiiWppE6JQ/s1600/rose3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSItAvqABYWnVViFF5jqTitXhK2bi40uWW3Y__YlQdX5PQA3jOvYeAym0Q_gHJHUcJ5cyEVtpWT-xIyXXYUsldteCT1tLwsPq3dZnxHksWqSrVNOLvoEU_Idw9rBQAcon75eiiWppE6JQ/s640/rose3.jpg" width="416" /></a></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At the very start of their travels together the Doctor had hoped to impress her with the prospect of watching the world end from the safety of an orbiting space station some five billion years in the future ('The End Of The World'). They later made a return trip to that era, and visited the New Earth that the human race had gone on to establish. On each of these trips Rose encountered a selection of alien races of all shapes, sizes and colour, her early wariness quickly evolving into appreciation for the different wonders that the Doctor could show her. On one visit to an unnamed alien world the Doctor asked her long she would stay with him, her answer was "Forever".</span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However many aliens that Rose encountered with the Doctor were less friendly, among them the Gelth, Raxacoricofallapatorians, the Jargafess, Roboform Santas, Sycorax, a Werewolf, Krillitanes, Clockwork Droids, the Wire, the Beast and the Abzorbaloff.  She also endured bodily possession by the self proclaimed 'Last Human' Lady Cassandra O'Brien ('New Earth').</span></span></div></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFNVQ0wXW92sVFGUErYZ3kljBQztrAZunpSNydsupfBkfjzbrYtkGt02K4outCb6k2ajU7qgrzmi529NiKebjKA6HccIaTLkssS9er3Lokh_RQ72Md4j8vZFVVMNihQZKUk9_OeFM1DeI/s1600/rose4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFNVQ0wXW92sVFGUErYZ3kljBQztrAZunpSNydsupfBkfjzbrYtkGt02K4outCb6k2ajU7qgrzmi529NiKebjKA6HccIaTLkssS9er3Lokh_RQ72Md4j8vZFVVMNihQZKUk9_OeFM1DeI/s640/rose4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Early in their adventures, the Doctor and Rose returned to the Powell Estate to find that they had been missing for a for a whole year and a distraught Jackie Tyler thought that her beloved daughter had been murdered. Jackie pleaded with Rose not to return to the Doctor and go on further adventures with him, but this had no effect on Rose's decision to keep travelling with the Doctor. Rose did however stay in touch with her Mum, the Doctor upgraded her mobile so that she could call her from any time or place and she returned home on frequent visits.</span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Rose pleaded with the Doctor to take her back to 1987 (Father's Day) as she wanted to be with her father when he died. He did as Rose asked but she couldn't resist saving Pete's life and created a wound in time which let in the Reapers, which rampaged across the planet until Pete sacrificed himself for the sake of saving the world.</span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Later when Rose travelled to a parallell  universe (Rise Of The Cybermen / The Age Of Steel) she discovered an Earth where Pete was still alive and had become a successful business man - she however had never been born and, much to the Doctor's amusement,  her mother Jackie doted upon a small dog named Rose instead. It was only after Jackie had been converted into a Cyberform that Rose revealed her true identity to Peter but he was confused by her claims and shunned her.</span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Rose was to meet with this version of Pete again when the 'Pete's world' Cybermen  attacked Rose's Earth. The breach that they used also let through the Daleks...</span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2VkKfb3G6ZaVdCNIyH9XW44BLuM-UIagDkwfs_Tii_GXM4UQUx_hII1qW6a0v1u4-w1viCI5vziK9f8H-nn3uCL8RzYfSdTNvoo84LMffDiztb9t99-CNJT1lck1k1d55jBxscwDIUqU/s1600/rosedalek.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2VkKfb3G6ZaVdCNIyH9XW44BLuM-UIagDkwfs_Tii_GXM4UQUx_hII1qW6a0v1u4-w1viCI5vziK9f8H-nn3uCL8RzYfSdTNvoo84LMffDiztb9t99-CNJT1lck1k1d55jBxscwDIUqU/s640/rosedalek.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Rose had first encountered a Dalek in 2012 in an underground museum in Utah ('Dalek'). Unaware of it's true nature, Rose has initially felt sympathy for the imprisoned creature and had inadvertently allowed it to absorb her DNA, enabling it to regenerate. As the Dalek killed the inhabitants of the base, Rose used her connection to the Dalek to end the slaughter, ordering it to commit suicide in the process.</span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Some time later, the TARDIS crew, were transported onto the Game Station in the year 200,100, shortly before it came under attack from a huge Dalek fleet. The Doctor sent Rose home in the TARDIS, condemning himself to death alone. Desperate to return to his side, Rose forced open the ship's console hoping to communicate with the heart of the TARDIS. Instead she absorbed the Time Vortex itself, granting her mastery over the whole of time and space and allowing her to return to the Game Station. Here she confronted the Dalek Emperor and divided it's fleet into atoms. The power though was killing Rose and the Doctor absorbed it from her, with a kiss, sacrificing his own life to save her from a certain death.</span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">This was the first time that Rose 'lost' the Doctor - the Vortex energy triggered his regeneration and Rose found herself with an apparent stranger. The second time also involved the Daleks..</span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8s_NdnMzuqivZ_AnO0oHqyh5tYR5sOelWLMkCUmjbavzpK1O94_PNLRH-jWm5hzoMV0uL9HYJIIG_fLoV3lgNuUAbreMLSA1H585w6wT0cL85ZDab9b3BjInnHzRzz8eqzPBlkZfBsgY/s1600/doom1+(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="490" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8s_NdnMzuqivZ_AnO0oHqyh5tYR5sOelWLMkCUmjbavzpK1O94_PNLRH-jWm5hzoMV0uL9HYJIIG_fLoV3lgNuUAbreMLSA1H585w6wT0cL85ZDab9b3BjInnHzRzz8eqzPBlkZfBsgY/s640/doom1+(1).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">As the Cult Of Skaro and the Cybermen from the parallel Earth battled at Canary Wharf, the Doctor devised a plan that would seal both species into the Void. Rose made the decision not to accompany her family in to 'Pete's World' and chose the Doctor over them.</span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">As Rose helped the Doctor to activate the Levers that opened the breach and sucked the Daleks and the Cybermen into the Void, she slipped and fell towards the opening, but she was saved by Pete Tyler. She was transported to 'Pete's World', where she joined Jackie and Mickey. Rose now had her whole family around her, with Pete and Jackie reunited and expecting a new baby. But the the breach was closed and she could never see the Doctor again. Rose was inconsolable and sobbed uncontrollably. It became clear that Rose was madly in love with the Doctor and she was beyond heartbroken at being parted from him.</span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Sometime later Rose began to hear the Doctor's voice calling her. She told her family and they all followed the voice to Bad Wolf Bay in Norway where a projection of the Doctor appeared, <span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">he was harnessing the power of a supernova to transmit through one of the final breaches.</span></span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Because the breach was to close permanently in two minutes, the pair share one last but very brief conversation. Rose broke down as she confessed to the Doctor that she loved him, but just as the Doctor starts to reply, the breach closed and he was gone from her life forever. The last we see of Rose Tyler is her devastated figure sobbing against the bleak landscape...</span></span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcfMpoBmEaxsen6YWRcwfasYrDkP_YvgSJHTvFzqUTqe8HxR65Dxmti6NcWMOVXsu6c7bg4VVAL5JrmGBCUXjlCNBhEg0NjVNLR35ZFypIlp7C_VW7a5DPk6yrxJEv25UUYa1iDyI95d0/s1600/JEND1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcfMpoBmEaxsen6YWRcwfasYrDkP_YvgSJHTvFzqUTqe8HxR65Dxmti6NcWMOVXsu6c7bg4VVAL5JrmGBCUXjlCNBhEg0NjVNLR35ZFypIlp7C_VW7a5DPk6yrxJEv25UUYa1iDyI95d0/s640/JEND1.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">But it wasn't to be Rose's final meeting with the Doctor by a long shot. Using a Dimension Cannon, she made her return to Earth for the first time, arriving in Brook Street just as Donna was preparing to leave with the Doctor (Partners In Crime). She attempted to make contact with the Doctor first via the scanners in the TARDIS (The Poison Sky) and then on Midnight, via Crusader 50's video screen, but he didn't notice her and the signal wasn't strong enough to allow audible contact. Ironically, Rose was one of the things the Doctor mentioned to Sky Silvestry on Midnight which she repeated back at him (Midnight). </span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">Rose finally made contact with the Donna of an alternative timeline and gave her a message to pass on to the Doctor when that Donna died and time was put back on course: 'Bad Wolf' (Turn Left).</span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">After her Dimension Cannon took her to the Noble's home in Chiswick, Rose watched as Harriet Jones contacted all of the Doctor's other friends, but was unable to join in with their online conversations. After Harriet was killed Rose made one final jump - and was finally reunited with the Doctor when a Dalek shot him!</span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv3QVIdlEudCZmJ-UhgxswS3Sg31iCsyRj8fjgrnQxZIp3aJcFdwnbEySfyuzEKVDP_x6stKwYBXVZ0ytZR7nh3h5VIMpPs_1op56BFz01xDVKRBotBMzaxSiUeMfL5FCtmr3AhlwWqYI/s1600/321.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="366" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv3QVIdlEudCZmJ-UhgxswS3Sg31iCsyRj8fjgrnQxZIp3aJcFdwnbEySfyuzEKVDP_x6stKwYBXVZ0ytZR7nh3h5VIMpPs_1op56BFz01xDVKRBotBMzaxSiUeMfL5FCtmr3AhlwWqYI/s640/321.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fafafa; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">After he used his regeneration energy to heal himself, the Doctor took Rose, Jack and Donna to the Dalek Crucible in the Medusa Cascade, where they discovered the Daleks creator Davros was building a Reality Bomb. After helping defeat the Daleks, the Doctor returned Rose and her mum Jackie to Pete and her new brother Tony on 'Pete's World' - but he left behind a part human Doctor, created by his regeneration energy mixed with Donna's human DNA.

It isn't the recession, stupid, it's China

China's unfair trade practices cost U.S. workers $37 billion in just one year, according to a new report by our friend Rob Scott at the <a href="http://www.epi.org/publication/trading-manufacturing-advantage-china-trade/" rel="nofollow">Economic Policy Institute</a>.<br /><br />That comes out to an average of $13,505 for every U.S. worker who lost a job in manufacturing because of China's rapacity. Scott assumed (correctly, we think) that workers laid off after their factory moved to China ended up making far less money as fast-food cooks, rental counter clerks and call center workers.<br /><br />Most news reports blamed "the recession" for the disappearance of good jobs. The <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/02/28/how-the-recession-turned-middle-class-jobs-into-low-wage-jobs/" rel="nofollow">Washington Post</a>, for example, reported on a <a href="http://www.nelp.org/page/-/Job_Creation/LowWageRecovery2012.pdf?nocdn=1" rel="nofollow">National Employment Law Project</a> study in February:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">Mid-wage occupations, paying between $13.83 and $21.13 per hour, made up about 60 percent of the job losses during the recession. But those mid-wage jobs have made up just 27 percent of the jobs gained during the recovery. </blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">By contrast, low-wage occupations paying less than $13.83 per hour have utterly dominated the recovery, with 58 percent of the job gains since 2010.</blockquote>Scott, though, puts the blame where it belongs: on China. He examined the impact of the U.S. trade deficit with China after it entered the World Trade Organization in 2001. Here are some of his other findings:<br /><ul><li>The increase in the U.S. trade deficit with China between 2001 and 2011 eliminated 2.7 million U.S. jobs, over 2.1 million (76.9 percent) of which were in manufacturing.</li><li>Growing U.S. trade deficits with China between 2001 and 2011 displaced a disproportionately large number of good jobs for minority workers—958,800 good jobs with excellent benefits, 35.0 percent of total jobs displaced.</li><li>China trade cost U.S. workers 997,700 good jobs with excellent benefits for workers without any college education </li><li>Workers with a bachelor’s degree or more education lost 1.057 million jobs</li><li>Rapidly growing China trade deficits cost nearly 1.1 million jobs in computer and electronic products between 2001 and 2011.</li></ul>Read the whole thing <a href="http://www.epi.org/publication/trading-manufacturing-advantage-china-trade/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><div><br /></div>

However, she isn't even sure whether she will be involved yet.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"I could be in all of it. I could be in none of it," she says. "So I'm forever texting writer Chris Chibnall just to remind him of my existence."</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Chris Chibnall has started work on the second series for ITV and last week told US site Entertainment Weekly that he had plotted out the whole of the first episode already. Jodie has faith that the narrative will be of as high quality as the first and suggests that it will carry on from events of the first</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"He pitched it as a bigger series, so it's not that he's writing a second series for the sake of it; he's writing what he originally pitched," she explains. "For him, the story always continued."</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Broadchurch, starring David Tennant, Olivia Colman, Arthur Darvill and Jodie Whittaker is currently airing in Russia, Latin America and Finland and will soon arrive in France and Spain. Work on series two is thought to begin in spring 2014, while Fox in America have commissioned their own version of the show with Chris Chibnall as executive producer, shooting early in 2014.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.david-tennant.com/2009/id189.html"><span style="color: blue;">Find out more about Broadchurch on our website</span></a></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

Some Doctors have been introduced just lying on the floor... At least I had a tiny bit of a scene to do, although without Billie - Rose was a strip of gaffer tape stuck on one of the TARDIS columns so I had an eyeline."</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On taking over the role as the Doctor:</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"It seemed so surreal, and absurd that this show which I loved so much was even back at all, and it was back so robustly. So to be asked not to have a little part in it, which is what I had been angling for, but to take over from Christopher Eccleston...It seemed absurd. And very funny."</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On his iconic coat:</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"I only had one question. 'Can I have a long coat?' There were a hundred sensible, practical questions I could have asked, but all I wanted was a long coat."</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On choosing the Tenth Doctor's costume:</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"The glasses were one of those things that just kind of arose. As we put together the look, it was becoming this sort of geek-chic thing. It seemed to make sense to add a pair of specs to that. I quite like the idea of there being a speccy hero."</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On reading the script for The Christmas Invasion:</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"When I first read the script, it was interesting because of course I'm not in it for a long time. There's a lot of expectation, waiting for the Doctor to wake up and hopefully save the day. So it was a curious one, reading it for the first time and thinking, 'Do I come into this?' And then of course, when I do arrive, I don't stop talking for five pages. Lying in bed, pretending to be ill and sweating gently for exorbitant sums of cash is every bit as easy as it looks, yep."</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On his entrance as the Tenth Doctor:</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"I wake up. I talk for five pages; I press the button nobody is allowed to press; I break the monster's staff; I haul away his whip. And then just to top it all off, I have a swordfight with him on the wing of a spaceship. My hand is cut off; I grow it back, and then bring down the Prime Minister of Great Britain - all within ten minutes. You can't really ask for a better entrance than that!"</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Others On The Early Days Of The Tenth Doctor:</span></b><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"By the time the Doctor and the Sycorax leader were having a sword fight, David was the Doctor." - James Hawes, Director</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"There was no competition and no discussion about who else it might be. We all agreed one hundred per cent that it should be David, right from the word go. No one else was ever seen or thought about." - Andy Pryor, Casting Director</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"In David Tennant's Tenth Doctor, you've got a Doctor who is nimbler, who can turn on a sixpence, who is overtly compassionate and empathetic and burdened with the responsibility of looking after all humanity." - Jane Tranter , Controller, BBC Drama Commissioning.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"With David, no one ever has a bad day or a cross word. He's forever happy and brings such energy to work. He is the engine of the show, welcoming the guest stars in, welcoming the directors in." - Russell T Davies, Writer and Executive Producer</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"I'd looked at some of the old Doctors and talked about what we might achieve with the new Doctor and that he should be sexy and maybe a bit eccentric. The boys should want to be him and the girls should want to fancy him. David came to the costumiers, and I literally had to rows of clothes from different periods, suits and shapes to try on him, and pretty much from that fitting, we came up with the basic silhouette of the coat. I ordered the fabric for the coat that day, and also the ideas for the suit came from that too. We'd send stuff to Russell, and he said, 'No I think it's too wide, I think it should be narrower.' I said, 'But he'll end up looking like a pencil!' and Russell said, 'Actually, you saying that appeals to me, I quite like the idea of a pencil.' - Louise Page, Costume Designer</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
