On another note, Alex Kingston just guest-starred on ARROW. Were you able to compare DOCTOR WHO notes at all?
JOHN: Actually, the first time Alex and I met each other was at Cameron Mackintosh’s house in London – the theater producer – he was celebrating his 25th anniversary to his partner and we were there and bumped into each other. We didn’t even say anything, we just looked at each other and went, “Aaaaaahhh! My god!” We got a glass of champagne and started talking about how it would be great if River and Jack – actually, she said River and Jack should have their own TV show. Then as we talked more, we realized that we’re both born on the same day. We’re both March 11th babies and we have so much in common. We like a lot of the same things and our attitude towards stuff is very, very similar. It struck a chord with us because that’s why River and Jack are very similar characters, in their attitude and their fun and their aggression, we are the same in real life – which is really ironic. So we struck it off. Then she came on ARROW, again we saw each other in the makeup trailer and just screamed. We both said, “Boy, there’s going to be some fan-gasms out there in a couple of weeks!” It was brilliant.

I have a Sonic Screwdriver!: This May Be Slightly Bad Backstage Etiquette…
…but Alex Kingston, aka River Song, coming into the hotel lobby in her comfy jammies with Ugg boots in the morning is about the most adorable human I have ever seen.
Being a big River Song fan, I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to have spoken with her several times and to have found out how kind, generous and caring she is. She has nothing but positive things to say about the huge mass of fans waiting to see her each day, and never seems to betray a single graceless moment.
Really a very special person. Speaking with her about Dinah Lance was really joyful…she shared a couple little things about how she saw the character that so perfectly tied in with my vision of Dinah’s mum that I was a bit stunned.
It’s nice…lots of actors at these events are sort of somewhat diva-esque, even some comic book creators have that vibe. It’s nice that someone whose work and characters I admire is so approachable and thoughtful to others.
Alex Kingston: If that’s how robots kiss, that’s how teselectas kiss, I’m all for it!

Alex Kingston was so utterly lovely in her seminar; and so nice talking one-on-one, too!
Then the Silence turned up - Alex shrieked when she saw it. Then the host asked her for help with how to fight it, and she just told him to turn around because he’d forget it was there XD
