Finally, it’s happened: David Tennant and Joanna Page are working together. Will the blog be able to cope? I think it’s having a lie down at the moment.
Anyway, the project in question is Nativity 2, a sequel to – you guessed it – Nativity. In this movie, David Tennant plays not one but two roles – as a teacher, Mr Peterson, and his twin brother – with Joanna Page playing his wife. Being Nativity 2, she’s pregnant, as she is in real life, and for another real-world tie-in, it’s going to be in UK cinemas on November 23, the 49th anniversary of the first broadcast of Doctor Who.
Here’s the trailer: you may notice that he’s got his normal Scottish accent in this… I think the blog might have to go and have another lie down.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
