TV News Round-Up: The Office, Doctor Who, Lost and more!

After a significant slowdown during the holidays there is plenty to report in TVland.

On the Doctor Who front is it old news that Steven Moffat will be taking over the show moving forward. Here is a video of former Doctor David Tennant interviewing Moffat about his new gig.


Speaking of ex-Doctors, Christopher Eccelson will be portraying John Lennon in a BBC movie Lennon Naked. Someone must have had their head in the Who-verse on casting day because Naoko Mori (Torchwood) will be playing Yoko Ono.


The Office may have a long awaited guest appearance by the one and only Ricky Gervais, hot off his gig hosting the Golden Globes, and promoting his new HBO series, recently hinted that David Brent (his character from The Office UK) may make an appearance on the American series.


Now that NBC has come to its senses and kicked Leno's late-night-butt out of prime-time, NBC has announced its post-Olympic prime time schedule, one that makes room for more scripted television. Yay!

The new season of 24 starts tonight airing two hours of its two day, 4 hour event. In honour of Starbuck finding her place in the work of Jack Bauer she sits down for an interview with BuzzSugar about her new role...and more importantly, about what it's like to have been a part of something as fantastic as BSG, and her love of sci-fi.

The LOST premiere is fast approaching and there seems to be a steady stream of information that really doesn't reveal a whole lot. Here's the latest. LOST's TCA panel revealed some returning cast members, and that Emilie DeRavine was very, very confused by the script for the first episode. hmm...

In other news, LOST producers claim that for LOST the end will really be the end. No sequels, spin offs or the like. Do you believe them?
