Doctor Who End of Time tidbits

[bex77]

I've been having fun bouncing around the net reading about "Doctor Who" since watching the most recent episode, End of Time. Jon Blum wrote a great review in his LJ at http://jblum.livejournal.com/200953.html

I found a vid on youtube of the last 10 minutes. There was a link there to a wikipedia summary of episode http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_End_of_Time

A couple of interesting background tidbits related to production of the final scenes stuck with me. Cut for spoilers.

1) Verity Newman is played by Jessica Hynes, the same actress that played Joan Redfern. The name "Verity Newman" is based on Doctor Who creator Sydney Newman and the show's first producer, Verity Lambert."

2) Davies's script for the final episode finished with the Tenth Doctor's final line, "I don't want to go." He then sent the script to his successor Steven Moffat, who is responsible for all of the Eleventh Doctor's dialogue that follows.

I like the irony in the final line, considering that it was David Tennant who wanted to step down.
