| Posted: 03 Oct 2008 01:51 AM CDT Around eleven o'clock this morning there was a knock at the door, and as quick as I could, I went to answer it - not realising that at the time I was a) covered in shaving foam, from the half completed shave I was having at the time, and b) half naked, in preperation for the bath I was about to have. So imagine the poor postman's face when he saw me; not knowing where exactly he should look! As quick as he could, he handled the parcel over - an item from play.com, surprisingly addressed to me (okay, okay, lots of items from play.com are addressed to me...) Opening it up, I found my copy of BBC Book's "The Torchwood Archives" - a fictional book written from the P.O.V of somebody (a reporter) living within the Torchwood/Doctor Who universe. The guy, who's name is Warren Martyn, pieces together info from every source he can to create a complete timeline of the Torchwood organisation - from Queen Victoria, to Yvonne Hartmen, and finally across the border to Captain Jack in Wales. Martyn then looks back at all 26 first and second season adventures, as well as last month's audio episode "Lost Souls". Along the way he fills us in on details we might not have caught on television - like the fact that Jack made the decision not to freeze Tosh's body in the Hub. Instead she was giving her own funeral, which was attended to by her surviving team mates, her parents, and one Miss Martha Jones. It's an interesting read, and encyclopedic in its coverage (it's ghost written by Gary Russell; what do you expect?!) I think I'd recommend it to only the dedicated of Woodies, however - because there's just not enough new material here to attract the attention of new readers, who'd probably just be lost and baffled by it all anyways! But if you want another Torchwood fix between now and next February, then there's worse reads out there. It's still pretty fun, giving us a few more scraps of previously unknown information regarding Jack Harkness. Not much, but it's a start. The book stands at 160 pages, with an RRP of £14.99. It's officially released in bookstores across the UK from next week. | ||

| Posted: 02 Oct 2008 08:48 PM CDT Gulp - is it really July since I last blogged on!? Well, dear friends, I must explain that the process of rehearsing Noises Off, with which I am currently touring, was a very time consuming business and the weeks have just flown by. And then I have been away for three weeks in Brighton, Newcastle and Glasgow (last week) which has also hindered my ability to communicate with you all. Enough with the excuses.... I rehearsed in Wimbledon for Noises Off, just behind the dog track, where the set had been constructed in a vast studio normally used by TV companies and for advertising shoots. In fact, there seemed to be an endless procession of glossy cars and young scantily clad females into the studio next door where they seemed to be making back to back car adverts! We were there for three weeks and anyone who has seen the play already will testify that it is a complicated piece, particularly the manic second act, where there are virtually two plays going on simultaneously - the one we do in Act 1 (but this time behind the set and audible and visible through the windows) - and the "backstage" antics that dovetail with what is going on behind the set "onstage". You have to see it - it's impossible to explain!! Anyway the cast is, without exception, superb. Maggie Steed is an actress I have long admired from her appearances in Fox many years ago - and Shine on Harvey Moon and more recently Pie in the Sky and Jam and Jerusalem. Her Dottie is divine, as is Ben Hull, a young actor of Hollyoaks and Casualty fame, who drives the play frenetically and with an enviable energy (he has lost several pounds during the first few weeks) - and is a great bloke too. We are having a fantastic time doing the play and I would urge anyone to come and see it if it is at a theatre near you between now and Christmas.It really is the funniest play ever written. Official! Alas, the spring tour has now been cancelled, as they couldn't get all the dates they wanted to schedule a viable tour without lots of empty weeks. As I write this, I am at home for the first time in three weeks, as we are in Oxford (sold out apparently!) and next week, I shall be at home too as the play will be in Woking - a lovely big theatre; so a good one to try and catch it at, if you're in that area. Life has been made even more hectic in Baker Towers as my middle two daughters have both vacated the nest for University in the same week. Bindy, my second daughter, has gone off to the Bristol Academy of Performing Arts in Somerset to do a musical theatre course and Lally (No 3) is at Warwick ,reading Literature and Film. A very exciting time for both of them but quite strange for those of us left behind, as the noise level and family activities have dwindled dramatically. I have heard parents before saying that it is a bit like a bereavement; and I know now what they meant. It is very strange indeed for those left behind. For them it is fantastic though and they are both enjoying the new experiences and challenges. My car, if you're interested, which had been giving me lots of hassle in the water and oil department for ages is now sorted (at great expense) after the head gasket etc was replaced. My car is vital to me as I regularly commute vast distances and it is a relief to have it working properly again. Though I would like to get my hands on the "expletive deleted" who smashed my passenger window, when I was in Newcastle, in an attempt to get my sat nav, which mercifully was not in the car, although its cradle was sitting on the dashboard as an inducement to the ungodly. Two other cars were similarly attacked in the same street in the wee small hours of the morning and the third yielded the required booty - a sat nav! Apart from that and my falling through (rather than stepping through) the window on stage one night and damaging my right knee a tad - life has been fairly incident free. On the plus side Heroes has started again and I am looking forward to seeing the opening episode which has been recorded for me. And I have been enjoying the wonderful dexter too - though I wouldn't advise it for the squeamish!! The grass has grown humungously in the garden and as it is now sunny - gosh there's a novelty - we had to wait for October to see the sun!! - I will now go and try to mow a bit of it! I promise to be a more diligent blogger in the future. To any of you who live in Manchester come and see me at the Fab Cafe in Portland Street on 14th October! Enjoy the Autumn and let's hope the sun visits us all a little more regularly. | ||

The series returned on Monday to a good reception in a series that will also feature a new companion.
