Anonymous asked: What is this romana campaign thing?
Hey anon! Not a real campaign per se, it’s mostly picspams and manips depicting Keeley as Romana (a Time Lady and the Doctor’s equal) in Doctor Who and the fact that she’s worked with three Doctors and an alt. Doctor (Paul McGann twice, Richard E Grant, Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant). I’ve reblogged most of them under the ‘for Romana campaign’ tag.
There’s no indication whether she (or at least the kiddies) watches DW and/or expresses interest in being in the show. She hasn’t said no to the idea either, which was what she said in regards to playing a live action Lara Croft.

And it’s great fun to be shooting next door to Doctor Who for some of it. So, Matt Smith popped over. I missed him — I was busy with Jean. But it’s very nice — it’s a great feeling, it’s very buzzy.
Ultimately it’s up to Moffat whether Romana will be brought back and this Keeley for Romana is just a casting fantasy. So no badgering Moffat about this in case it gets jinxed.
Benedict Cumberbatch for the Master posts haven’t decreased either since he said that he doesn’t want to play the Master.

Again, missed photo op dammit! NEED a photo like this! All these awesome shows’ sets next to each other FTW.

“I had to snog him (Paul McGann), and I snogged Richard E Grant in Karaoke, so you could say I’ve had Withnail and I,” she giggles.
I’m sure you’ve all seen the SFX Female Doctor survey results. Also, dustyteeth’s answers to a DW meme. :D But mostly because ruddybloodygenehunt tagged Paul McGann as ‘[random] man’. ‘Man’?!
Hotel! has finally been uploaded to YT recently! It’s a spoof series starring Paul McGann, Keeley Hawes, Art Malik and Peter Capaldi.
I like to think that in an alternative universe somewhere, they have this Team TARDIS.
Yep that’s the whole point of this manip which I made. Where’d you get the cropped version from? I don’t mind, as long as it’s clear that it’s a manip. Post away and spread the word about the Romana campaign. ;)
ETA: Oh I see it ended up in dt_pic_daily. \o/
Keeley Hawes with a Captain Jack Harkness knitted plushie! :3
When I got to the signing desk for Keeley I said, “I hope you don’t mind, but I have a strange request.”
I put Jack down on the table and she said, “Is it to do with him? He’s absolutely adorable!” and then she took him from me!
She commented on how brilliantly made he was (yes, she said ‘brilliant’) and said that she can knit, but could never make anything as well as him. She looked at him very closely.
I explained that he was made by a friend from the States who happened to be a massive LoM and A2A fan, and she was more than happy to pose for a pic, before giving Jack and little hug and handing him back…
Which answers my pressing question of whether she watches Doctor Who (she’d have recognised Jack otherwise). :| Oh well. Jack would totally flirt with Romana!
So, the lack of pictorial evidence of David Tennant and Keeley Hawes hugging (was that so much to ask for, Radio Times?!) led to me making this.
Presumably ‘hug’. PICS OR IT DIDN’T HAPPEN! Keeley Hawes and the cast of Upstairs Downstairs were at the Radio Times Covers Party 2011. David Tennant’s hosting.
