15 January 2010, 01:18 pm |
I had previously missed uploading this Sunday Times article that came just before Christmas. John Simm is featured along fellow theatre actors and actresses to celebrate 2009’s stage success with a wonderful photoshoot. Enjoy!

Seven: Who’s the baddie?
21 December 2009, 03:08 am |
The Sunday Telegraph magazine Seven included today an interview with John Simm, in which he discusses theatre (Speaking in Tongues and the upcoming Hamlet) and Doctor Who, mainly. You can read the article and see the photos right here or following the link below.

Doctor Who Magazine: Back to Black
13 December 2009, 10:14 am |
Added the recent Doctor Who Magazine interview with John Simm about his upcoming reappearance in the series to the press archive. The pics used in the article itself weren’t new (you can find the promo pics here), so I just scanned the cover. Enjoy.

Old and new print articles
30 November 2009, 06:40 pm |
Got my hands on an old article (new for the site) from 1999, just before Human Traffic came out. Really short and none too revealing, but interesting nonetheless. Follow the link below.
More recently, in their January 2010 issue Q Magazine asked various artists about their choice Album of the Century. You can read Mr Simm’s answer below. Thanks to L for the heads-up!
Actor John Simm nominates Grinderman’s Grinderman (2007)
“He’s getting better as he gets older, Nick Cave. Filthier and dirtier. I saw him at a Doctor Who Christmas special, queuing up with his kids to get Doctor Who’s autograph, which was strange.”
Also, this week’s issue of Radio Times features a preview for the two upcoming Doctor Who specials. John Simm is, again, interviewed briefly. You can find the promo pic that came with the article here.
Simm describes his character’s latest incarnation as “emo Master”. Gone are the sharp suit and slick haircut of his prime minister persona in 2007, to be replaced by wild eyes and punk-white hair peeking out from a hoodie. He flashes in and out of “skeleton mode”. “This is a Master who’s lived and died,” explains Simm, “and now lives again—although he’s seen healthier days. He’s desperate, and desperate means dangerous.” Just the thing for Christmas!

Two new articles
19 September 2009, 10:27 am |
There are a couple of new print interviews which have John Simm discussing his just premiered play Speaking in Tongues, the first from the The Independent and the other one included in The Times supplement Playlist. The second one is especially insightful, if you ask me.
You can see a different photo at the online version of The Independent article, though. Thanks a lot to Lorna for The Times interview!

Two new short articles
14 April 2009, 12:26 pm |
Promotion for Skellig hasn’t provided many new (Simm-centred) interviews or articles, and most of them used bits and pieces from the Press Pack—so I won’t be uploading those. However, there were a couple question & answer interviews last week:
Hope all of you who already watched Skellig enjoyed it (I know I did—massively)! You can check out Locate TV for repeats of the programme on Sky.

More on ‘Skellig’
28 March 2009, 12:27 pm |
ITN has uploaded a video from the Skellig VIP Screening to their website. There’s no Simm in it, but you can see Bill Milner, Skye Bennett, Alexander Armstrong and David Almond being interviewed among others, plus a couple of brief scenes from the film. You can watch it here.
I re-uploaded the interview with John Simm from the Skellig Press Pack, since I was requested to hold on to it until the film’s broadcast was closer. If you haven’t seen it before, it’s a very good read.
