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!

Speaking about future releases, a DVD box with all the latest Doctor Who specials (’The Next Doctor’, ‘Planet of the Dead’, ‘The Waters of Mars’ and the upcoming Christmas and New Year specials) will be released on January 11th, 2010.
Unlike the other DVD set announced, this one will include extras such as cast & crew commentary (one of them probably by David Tennant and John Simm, as they discussed on the radio recently), deleted scenes, Tennant’s video diary and Doctor Who Confidential.
