Mr.Tovey you are a legend :-) really liked that video and its always nice to know the cast and crew get on so well behind the scenes. Really hope this isnt the last video until next series maybe a quick couple of the filming...without giving anything away obviously?

"Tovey is widely regarded as one of British acting’s hottest young talents,".....He is indeed - hes going to be Englands next big thing id put money on it - and not just because im a fan - from a purely professioal point of view he really is a brilliant young actor and seems to be a genuinely nice bloke as well so i really hope he does well and he certainly deserves to.

I think the new series probably won't be out till early 09 but I reckon the Ö÷²¥´óÐã will repeat it again. Plus hopefully we will see the cast in other stuff.

The msg was basically he's very thankful to us all for being behind them and making the show happen and for being given the opportunity for this series and the big response for the 2nd, for us caring about it as much as he does, we're very important and a massive thanks!

And might I say, I haven't thought about it before now, but yeah, Aidan would make a really good Doctor Who. Although I don't think he'd be favourite because of his accent (I'm not against it, I seriously love it!), but the producers and writers and etc. always choose someone who can do an English accent.
Hmm.. or maybe you should ignore that 'cos I know a lot of you will probably think "How dare you!", Lol.

I just don't think he's the right choice. Not saying he won't prove me wrong. The BH twenty-somethings were supposed to be twenty-somethings and didn't have a long history to live up to (just the pilot). Plus Russell especially is just a phenomenal actor. He could have done The Dr.
