The annual
Radio Times Covers Party took place at Claridges in London on Tuesday evening, which as usual saw a multitude of stars gather together to celebrate another year's worth of Radio Times covers.
The event was hosted by former Doctor
David Tennant, who was also presented with his cover for
Single Father (9-15 October);
Karen Gillan was there to receive the Doctor Who cover for
The Pandorica Opens (19-25 June).
Other guests at the party included Steven Moffat, Rob Brydon, Terry Wogan, Aidan Grimshaw, Jean Marsh, Keeley Hawes, Hugh Bonneville and David Morrissey.
You can find a range of photos from the evening on the
Radio Times website, featuring David Tennant, Karen Gillan and Steven Moffat amongst the other guests; evening developments were also revealed live and can be read via
Twitter, including further behind-the-scenes photos.
The Radio Times have also provided a short video of the evening, featuring sound-bites from various celebrities, including host David Tennant and the current series representatives Karen Gillan and Steven Moffat (1m20s in).
Plus, this week’s Radio Times (22-28 Jan) see actress
Sinead Keenan talk about the new series of
Being Human and playing an alien in
Doctor Who:
The third series is “bigger, better and bolder. It’s literally bigger, as the new house is huge. The camerawork is more ambitious, too; it’s very cinematic.
Keenan’s character, Nina, became a werewolf after she was scratched by George in the first series. I was thrilled as it meant Nina was there to stay. Then I realised I’d have to ‘transform’, which means getting naked and spending three-quarters of your working day in the make-up chair.
It’s not the first time 34-year-old Keenan has suffered for her art. In Doctor Who, she played an alien sporting pea-green spikes instead of hair. For someone who initially told her agent she didn’t like sci-fi and the supernatural, I’ve done a lot of it!
As filming for the new television series of Torchwood is finally reaching its conclusion this week, the BBC's Drama Newsletter has announced that there will be further radio adventures to follow!
