Okay since it's Jenna's birthday I'm just gonna put in a few of my fav pics of her

So fun reblog game: add in some of yours too <3

The thumbnail might be a clue as to why I'm posting this link. As the headline says, the BBC First network is going to be added to New Zealand platforms beginning in October 2024, with Jenna Coleman's The Jetty spotlighted as one of the marquee shows.

So a couple of things to unpack here:

First, a possible timeframe for release of The Jetty. Of course it will likely air on the main BBC before, but October 2024 appears to be when NZ fans might expect to see it.

Second, if The Jetty is airing on BBC First, this might well mean that other countries that have their own versions of the BBC First network, such as Canada, may see it there too! I do not know if BBC First exists in the US (BBC America is considered separate from the BBC), but if it does that might be where The Jetty will air (I was speculating PBS at one point). Of course, BBC America does air BBC programming, obviously, so that's also where it may turn up. (At least I hope so; although we do get the occasional DVD/Blu-ray release, if The Jetty ends up on something like Netflix odds are we won't get one in North America, which is what happened with The Serpent that got a UK DVD release because it aired on BBC, but there is not expected to be one in North America because over here it was only on Netflix.

Could Jenna Coleman someday appear on Dead Boy Detectives?

This is a follow-up to an earlier speculation post I made on the subject of the new TV series Dead Boy Detectives. It is not a spoiler, really, as it involves information apparently revealed by its trailer (and confirmed apparently early on in its first episode). Still, for courtesy, I will put a spoiler break here:

With the confirmation (again, via its trailer) that Dead Boy Detectives is set in the same continuity as The Sandman TV series, as indicated by a character/actor crossover, plus the fact the original comic book characters were tied in with Sandman (though initially more connected to Doom Patrol, I believe), that really does open the question of whether a future DBD episode might conceivably have a guest appearance by Jenna Coleman as Johanna Constantine. I won't name the character that appears in the DBD first episode, but if they (pronoun not intended as clue btw) can appear, then that totally opens the door for Jenna to cross over, just as, say, Melissa Benoist appeared as Supergirl in a few Flash episodes and the actor who played Kid Flash (whose name escapes me) joined the Legends of Tomorrow for a while. And of course Matt Ryan's John Constantine had his own TV series and I think appeared on Arrow before joining Legends.

This assumes of course that Jenna hasn't already filmed an appearance (I do not know if all episodes of DBD season 1 came out at once - it's on Netflix so could be that or weekly release), or that DBD (which, ironically, is a reimagining of an earlier iteration starring David Tennant's son that was rolled into the Doom Patrol series as a "backdoor pilot" - which itself had an arm's length connection to the Arrowverse thanks to a reference in Crisis on Infinite Earths) continues beyond its first season. (Full disclosure: I had never heard of Dead Boy Detectives before a few months ago, and I have no idea whether or not the new series is actually any good.)

Time will tell if we ever get a Johanna Constantine spin-off series (a lot will depend on whether the planned John Constantine series at HBO ever gets off the ground), but having her appear in DBD wouldn't be a bad bonus.

The link to the Vogue Ukraine interview and photoshoot with Jenna Coleman!

Below are some key parts of the interview, translated with Google translate.

About the film of dreams

If I could choose one film, I would definitely choose "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf", and I would also dream of working on the same set with Elizabeth Taylor, who played the main role there.

About upcoming plans

There are a lot of plans: I want to travel, but not for work, but to study different cultures, I am still trying to learn French, and I also dream of a small haberdashery shop where I will collect antique jewelry boxes.

About the pressure of publicity

In reality, it doesn't feel like that - there are situations when you are recognized, and that's fine, but in ordinary life you continue to do the usual things. A lot of attention is usually focused on me during promotions. I recently spent a week at the Venice Film Festival, where it was pure madness and chaos. This can be really alarming. My secret in this situation is to enjoy this crazy energy and then go home and rest. The main thing is to remember what is important to you and what you really want.

About success

Success is a very relative concept for me. First, success is often temporary. Today it is success for us, and tomorrow we set new goals and see success in something new. Sometimes boiling an egg correctly is already a success in that particular second. I also consider it a success to walk away from something knowing that you did your best.

Escada dress, Never Not jewelry

About wishes for yourself

If I could address myself in my youth, I would say just a few words: "Baby, always enjoy the moment, walk carefully, everything will be fine, don't be afraid to express your thoughts, trust your own instincts, don't use artificial tan and finally leave your eyebrows in rest".

Jenna Coleman: The Audios

With the announcement of a new digital audio book read by Jenna Coleman coming soon, I thought it might be handy to give a quick list of her recorded works so far. This doesn't include commercial/documentary narration or video game voiceovers, obviously.

All these I believe are all available digitally in some form, too. (Officially or unofficially):

The Secret Garden - recorded in 2012-2013 for AudioGo, Jenna reads an abridged version of the children's story. The CD is hard to come by, since AudioGo went out of business soon after its release.

Doctor Who: Destiny of the Doctor - The Time Machine. Part of a year-long series of original narrated audio dramas produced by Big Finish in conjunction with AudioGo/BBC Audio for the 50th anniversary in 2013. This was the Eleventh Doctor chapter of the storyline, but incredibly and inexplicably it does not feature Clara but rather a one-off companion named Alice. Jenna nonetheless narrates the tale and plays both Alice and the Eleventh Doctor. My head canon is Alice is a Clara echo. AudioGo died almost immediately after its release, but Big Finish covered its distribution and I think you can still buy the MP3 version from them, along with the rest of the Destiny arc. Thus far it remains Jenna's only Big Finish-related audio work.

A Christmas Carol - Jenna's first audio drama involvement sees her playing a (relatively small) role in an all-star performance of the Dickens story, recorded while she was starring in Victoria (there were photos of her posted visiting Victoria showrunner/writer Daisy Goodwin at a book signing fresh from the recording session). Only released on Audible (apparently available for free in some places). I've never heard this myself.

"Pressures, Residential" - a short story recorded as a fund-raiser for Esquire UK magazine during lockdown. It basically reads like a story you might come across in something like Black Mirror or Inside No. 9. As a bonus, you get to hear Jenna utter a word we don't hear from her again until The Sandman. It's still available to listen to online from Esquire (it's an official page so I can link to it without violating a TOS).

"The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies." I don't know if this was recorded during lockdown or earlier, though it was released during. Jenna was one of a number of celebrity readers (including David Tennant among other Who veterans) contributing to the CD set "Beatrix Potter: The Complete Tales". I think this is still available on Amazon in CD form. Just the one story read by Jenna, though.

Iris Is More Than Okay by Natalie Cooper, a made-for-Audible original story, scheduled for release on May 16, 2024. Sadly, like A Christmas Carol, this will not be released to CD so it will be inaccessible to some. Not sure on length. This is not likely to be a full-length novel being an original so we're probably going to get something closer to 90 minutes-2 hours in length but I'm prepared to be corrected on that.
