Hee, yeah, I saw that bit about the RSC, so yes! She shows some acting chops in the end of the Xmas special, I think. Bet she'll be made to show more! It's not like the show's gonna suddenly become a sitcom (though I wouldn't mind a bit more lightness...the Doctor's had an awfully hard time lately...)

There'll be a hug when he first sees her again, I bet. Whatever the situation. ...darnit! I want it nooooow~! This is gonna be the longest year since waiting for the next LotR movie :P

...definitely need to get those podcasts...
