I did already post about Daniel's upcoming guest appearance on The Kumars on Facebook. (including a photo from Mary O'Regan, and there is one from Joe Bor) Sky released promos which you can view below. The first episode with Daniel features also guests Chevy Chase and Olivia Colman and will air on Wednesday 15th January, 9pm, Sky 1 HD. Photos via snitchseeker.com.

After being hit hard during the economic downturn, The Kumars are now living in a flat in Hounslow behind the shop that Dad, Ashwin, now runs. Host Sanjeev is divorced from his wife of nearly two years and Ashwin has secured a sponsorship deal that has enabled him to resurrect the family's talk show, which takes place in the living room of their flat. And Grandma Ummi is glad to be back in her natural environment - with celebrities.

ITV's Daybreak aired their interview with Daniel Radcliffe this morning. It's one which was recorded back in October. Daniel talks with Daybreak's Kate about Frankenstein and Kill Your Darlings. A clip from the interview can be viewed below. Or view the video at Daybreak's website (UK only)

Anyway up to the preview from the last episode: Episode 4 Preview Clip: Paying Tribute

"It is incomprehensible...that Pelageya, built as a she was, like an ox, could be felled by something so small as a Typhoid louse." Not quite the tribute Anna was hoping for, from Young Doctor.

Below you find IndieLondon's interview with Daniel in promotion of Kill Your Darlings. With thanks to them for the mention on Twitter. Read the full interview at indielondon.co.uk.

Q. When did you first get involved with this project? It’s been a while, hasn’t it?
Daniel Radcliffe: It has been a while. When I was doing Equus in New York, John Krokidas, the director of the film, came and saw it and I think that was what started him considering me for the role. I auditioned for him back then, which would have been about 2009, and was moving forward with it. But then I became unavailable because the filming got pushed back and I had to go off and shoot Harry Potter 6, I guess it would have been. They then re-cast the film with Jesse Eisenberg, Chris Evans and Ben Whishaw but financing fell through again. And when John was re-starting things, he came to me and said: “I know it’s been a while but would you still be up for doing this?” Even though it had been re-cast and somebody else was going to be playing my role, I never quite let go of the film. I never quite let go of the idea because I’d had such a great time working with John just from the preparation sessions together. So, when it came back round I was very excited and ready to start.

Interview by Time Out London in promotion of Kill Your Darlings.

In Kill Your Darlings you play Allen Ginsberg just as he starts uni. What’s he like?
‘He’s at that age when there’s a gap between who you are and who you want to be. You’re trying to find your identity and become independent. Reading Allen’s diaries you get a clear picture of him having belief in his own intellect. He has a pretty good idea that he’s going to be important. But not much of that confidence transfers to his social life.’

Hieronder vind je de artwork van de A Young Doctor's Notebook DVD. Verkrijgbaar vanaf 28 november 2013 en is uitgegeven door Splendid Film.


Beschrijving:
'A Young Doctor's Notebook' speelt zich af tijdens het begin van de Russische revolutie. We volgen het turbulente leven van een net afgestudeerde dokter die worstelt met de moeizame start van zijn beroep. Het verhaal wordt verteld door zijn oudere en meer ervaren ik. Hierbij dient hij niet alleen om te gaan met bijgelovige en onwetende patiënten, maar worstelt hij ook met zijn eigen innerlijke strubbelingen. De jonge dokter onthult twijfels over zijn eigen bekwaamheid en worstelt met de immense druk van de medische verantwoordelijkheid die hij draagt.

Sky News did speak to Daniel ahead of the Sky Drama launch back in September. Dan mentioned again (well he can't say it enough) that he has no Facebook and Twitter. He said that using social media to "tell everybody what you're doing", means people will ignore requests for privacy.

Take a look behind the scenes of the 2nd series of A Young Doctor's Notebook & Other Stories plus a preview clip from episode 1 and episode guide (starts tomorrow at 9pm Sky Arts)

Scrub up! We're taking you for an exclusive look behind the scenes of our favourite Russian hospital, and Daniel Radcliffe reveals how he was almost tricked into recording opera vocals for the new series.

Series 2 Episode 1 preview Clip - The Shortfall

There's a morphine shortfall the size of a pond and Young Doctor thinks he knows how to fix it. By changing the past!

Episode Guide for episode 1:

It's 1918 and civil war rages throughout Russia, but has yet to reach the remote hospital in Mureyvo. The Young Doctor and midwife, Pelageya, are in a relationship, albeit one based primarily on the fact she is able to both facilitate and conceal his morphine addiction. Skip to 1935 and an upbeat, rehabilitated Older Doctor is in Moscow being discharged from the institution he was sent to at the end of series one. He returns to his memories of 1918 through his notebook and in contrast to the first series, he now loves life and is no longer sneering towards his younger self.

The hospital learn that the Zemstvo is coming for an inspection, sending the Young Doctor and Pelageya into a panic as they might uncover the morphine shortfall.

But under the cynical eyes of the Older Doctor, they cover their tracks by re-filling the morphine bottles with water. The arrival of a group of injured Bolshevik soldiers means the Young Doctor's skills are fully tested.

"The smartphone self-portrait has become a global phenomenon - but how much does a selfie really reveal about its subject? Is there an art to it, or is it just a disposable snap? We asked some famous faces (and reluctant sharers) to send us their own unique take on the selfie"

The Telegraph has posted a new interview online with Jon Hamm and Daniel, plus some new photos on set of A Young Doctor's Notebook & Other Stories. Quotes from Daniel are below, find here the full interview.

'I owe everything to Potter, but playing a character for so long gives you this pent-up energy and desire to try as many different things as possible. The films I made last year and A Young Doctor have been huge leaps forward for me. I think I am getting better at knowing what I am good and not good for,’ he says.

Photoshoot during the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in promotion of Kill Your Darlings. The photos below from The Globe and Mail were taken on 10th September 2013, the day of the KYD press conference. Full article + photo. Second photo.

“I don’t want people to forget about Potter. I love what we did on those films and they were an amazing 10 years of my life. Contrary to popular belief, I don’t want to sever any connection with it. It’s just that I want to be an actor and not just a character. The last few years people have been giving me opportunities to show that more and more,”
