Stolen Earth, stolen scene

Posted: 01 Aug 2008 06:04 AM CDT

Wow! I've been meaning to post a reaction post to "Stolen Earth", but I just haven't had the time-I'm sorry!! Since "Journey's End" is on tonight, I'll probably be posting a reaction to both episodes soon.

For now-I've got a missing scene from the U.S. broadcast of "Stolen Earth". Even though it's not a Sarah Jane scene, I figured you guys wouldn't mind knowing what was missing!

As far as I can tell, only one scene was cut: it was the scene right before Sylvia and Wilt meet up with Rose. The Daleks were rounding up the humans, and Wilt and Sylvia were watching from round the corner of a house. One father who was being round up said he wasn't going to go, and told his family to go back inside. Then he threw something at the Dalek and told them to go back where they came from. The Daleks then got into attack formation, screamed "Maximum extermination!" and destroyed the entire house! Sylvia was begging her dad to come in, and he said no, he had 'this!'. "It's a paint gun!" He told her to look at the eye piece-he figured he could blind them with a shot of paint.

Don't forget! Part 2, "Journey's End", airs tonight on SciFi, starting at 8:30pm, EST. Yup-a half hour early! SciFi has an hour and a half block for this episode, so hopefully the cuts will be quite minimal (5 minutes or so, as opposed to 20-25, had there only been an hour).

Only seven and a half hours to go! I can't wait! :)

News Upated: 1/8/2008

DWO have received the BBC Book covers & information for the April 2009 Doctor Who Novels:

The Slitheen Excursion
By Simon Guerrier

1500BC – King Actaeus and his subjects live in mortal fear of the awesome gods who have come to visit their kingdom in ancient Greece. Except the Doctor, visiting with university student June, knows they’re not gods at all. They’re aliens.

For the aliens, it’s the perfect holiday – they get to tour the sights of a primitive planet and even take part in local customs. Like gladiatorial games, or hunting down and killing humans who won’t be missed.

With June’s enthusiastic help, the Doctor soon meets the travel agents behind this deadly package holiday company – his old enemies the Slitheen. But can he bring the Slitheen excursion to an end without endangering more lives?  And how are events in ancient Greece linked to a modern-day alien plot to destroy what’s left of the Parthenon?

The Slitheen Excursion is released in April 2009, priced &ound;6.99.

Judgement of the Judoon
By Colin Brake

Elvis the King Spaceport has grown into the sprawling city-state of New Memphis – an urban jungle, where organised crime is rife. But the launch of the new Terminal 13 hasn’t been as smooth as expected. And things are about to get worse...

When the Doctor arrives, he finds the whole terminal locked down.  The notorious Invisible Assassin is at work again, and the Judoon troopers sent to catch him will stop at nothing to complete their mission.

With the assassin loose on the mean streets of New Memphis, the Doctor is forced into a strange alliance.  Together with teenage private eye Nikki and a ruthless Judoon Commander, the Doctor soon discovers that things are even more complicated – and dangerous – than he first thought...

Judgement of the Judoon is released in April 2009, priced &ound;6.99.

Prisoner of the Daleks
By Trevor Baxendale

The Daleks are advancing, their empire constantly expanding in to Earth’s space.  The Earth forces are resisting the Daleks in every way they can.  But the battles rage on across countless solar systems. And now the future of our galaxy hangs in the balance…

The Doctor finds himself stranded on board a starship near the frontline with a group of ruthless bounty hunters.  Earth Command will pay them for every Dalek they kill, every eye stalk they bring back as proof.

With the Doctor’s help, the bounty hunters achieve the ultimate prize: a Dalek prisoner – intact, powerless, and ready for interrogation. But where the Daleks are involved, nothing is what it seems, and no one is safe. Before long the tables will be turned, and how will the Doctor survive when he becomes a prisoner of the Daleks?

Prisoner of the Daleks is released in April 2009, priced &ound;6.99.

After almost four months of shooting, filming for the second series of the Sarah Jane Adventures has finally concluded in Cardiff! The cast and crew were spotted saying their goodbyes to eachother on the Bannerman Road set two days ago, and most of them will no doubt be heading off to their respective homes around the country to have a well-earned summer break.


Due to all the post-production work that needs to be completed, we won't see SJA back on our screens for another two months. But from the glimpses we've seen of the second series so far, it'll be well worth the wait!
