Because Moffat says so...

According to the RadioTimes Moffat was made  to answer some questions arising from the very, very obvious plot holes of "The Angels Take Manhattan". But it's hardly worth reading the article, because things do not really get explained. I mean, all he has to say about why the Statue of Liberty was able to move through New York without being noticed is 
"In those terrible days, in that conquered city, you saw and understoodonly what the Angels allowed, so Liberty could move and  hunt as it wished, in the blink of an eye, unseen by the lowly creatures upon which it preyed. Also, it tiptoed."
That's not an explanation, it's a statement. We know that being watched the Angels cannot move and no matter how fast they are, or  how much they do not want to be perceived, moving from Liberty Island to central New York cannot be done without being seen, by someone, at least once. And then they had to stop and become 'obvious' to the citizens of the city which never sleeps.  Therefore, it's not possible. 

And the back-up-story of why the Ponds cannot travel to the UK, or any other part of the world to be picked up by the Doctor there instead is not better...

Maybe the best bit is RadioTimes' comment on how Moffat is not really dealing with the paradoxes created by the Pond's farewell episode:
"If your head hurts now, wait until someone asks Moffat what happened to the whole 'an image of an Angel becoming an Angel' thing. That's a lot of dangerous New York postcards, right there..."
So, dear Moffat, simply admit you've done a few mistakes there. We'll  forgive and forget. And Sir, please, promise to put more thought into an episode's plot in the future.

Combom's RadioTimes Scans

The always so awesome 'Combom&Team' are scanning this week's RadioTimes, so if you're interested, here is a link. Maybe the most interesting part is Matt Smith's US Diary even though it does not give us any spoilers. But it's fun to read how they did some of the scenes...

I remember to have got several questions regarding how to navigate through the album last year. So here is what I wrote then on this topic.

Interviews...

Sorry, but I just can't come up with a proper title for this one...

It has been for a very long time that I've seen more interviews by David Tennant within a day than yesterday. Well, I'm not complaining for when it comes to giving an interesting but still diplomatic interview there are certainly a few people who might learn form him...
So, here are the bits.

Thanks to Combom and someone calling herself Timelady the pages of David Tennant's recent Radio Times interview have made it to flickr (page 1, page2). It's mostly about his time after Doctor Who, Fright Night, the American Rex Is Not Your Lawyer pilot, Single Father and other stuff.

Furthermore, Blogtor Who was so nice to upload the 5Live interview with David Morrisay and David Tennant to YouTube (part1, part2, part3) which's main part is again about Single Father and Morrison's project Thorn. They also talk a bit about politics, David Tennant's experiences in thee US and the time when he and Morrison were working on Blackpool and The Next Doctor.
Enjoy.
