The Runaway Bride Preview

The entertainment section of the BBC News Online website has today published a preview of the forthcoming Doctor Who Christmas special The Runaway Bride. The feature contains quotes from David Tennant, as well as the episode's main guest stars Catherine Tate and Sarah Parish.

Responding to a question on how long he will stay in the role, Tennant is quoted as saying that: "From the moment I accepted this job, people have asked me when I'm leaving... I have tried to be as noncommittal as possible and shall maintain that stance today."

On her role as the bride Donna in the special, Tate said the part was "one of the best things I've done... It was such a fantastic job, and so exciting. It was like making an action movie. I agreed to do it without even knowing what it was - I just said yes."

Parish, playing the villainous Empress of the Racnoss in the episode, is quoted about the heavy costume and make-up she had to wear for the part. "It was a heavy, cumbersome costume but I loved it. It was a really interesting exercise... You really have to over-accentuate everything in order to make the prosthetics work."
