Q. If you could travel in time, where would you go and why?
A. I’d like to see what my 30s look like, not too far – we’re talking about eight years down the line. I’d like to see what’s going on in my life, that’s quite interesting to me. —Q&A: Billie Piper (BBC)
My wife, who introduced me to Doctor Who, found this exchange in an interview with the actress who plays the companion on the new BBC series. Bear in mind, this actress has just completed filming a season of episodes about a guy who can travel in space and time. It’s not like this kind of question was completely out of the blue.
Talk about self-centered!

well, billie piper was a pop starlet as a teen in the u.k. before going to “acting”; the press are all over her so i guess that might explain it…
we’ve seen two episodes of the new dr. who series on the cbc so far – not bad at all. “the doctor” has a good sense of humour and the second episode had more aliens present (interesting looking ones).
