Doctor Who Magazine

For various reasons I have only gotten around to reading last months DWM this morning and I felt I had to come and rant about the Nicholas Briggs interview. Did anyone here read it? What an **** of a man he comes off as. I always had a deep respect for him and his work on the show and other DW media, but that interview made him come off as a pompous, arrogant, bitter old ****. He mentioned in nearly every other paragraph how he is an actor and people need to realise that, but it seemed like he was the one who needed the most convinving. He spoke of his unprofessionalism like it was something to be proud of. How he argues with producers and directors for example made him sound like a spoiled child who would spit his dummy if he didnt get his own way. He has a very inflated sense of his own importance, name dropped as often as possible like it would make us think he was cool and just generally came off as very unlikeable. His attitude towards his appearance in Torchwood was appauling too. He should be grateful RTD put him forward for the gig but instead moaned that he wasnt sat next to the PM (in the cabinet scenes), that some of his dialogue was cut and that the Euros Lyn asked him to tone it down because he was overacting in a scene, because Euros didnt realise how important his character was. I wish I hadnt read it to be honest because it has really put me off him
