Kopic's Doctor Who & Torchwood News |
| Posted: 07 Oct 2008 10:15 AM CDT  Two recent deaths to report unfortunately are that of Margot Thomas and Ian Collier, both who had guest roles in Doctor Who. Margot Thomas played a "Stall holder" in the 1965 story, The Romans. She was 89 when she passed away on 26 September 2008 after a short illness. For many years she actively worked with Cancer Res... | ||
| Posted: 07 Oct 2008 09:46 AM CDT So - it's all around the web by now, but if you don't know - David Tennant calls Steven Moffatt his "new boss" in the commentary between the two on the forthcoming Doctor Who Series 4 boxset release. And of course the reaction is - why would he use that term if he was leaving? According to Den of Geek: • David Tennant refers to Steven Moffat as his "new boss", and their discussion indicates that they are already working together. • The Grand Moff prefers... | ||
| News: Tom Baker Returns Rumour # 950 Posted: 07 Oct 2008 09:33 AM CDT So, we get this rumour once a year, and however lovely and nostalically nice it might seem, let's face it, it is unlikely to happen. Sky TV of all places reckon that Tom - the legendary and iconic Fourth Doctor - is making a return to the show in the next full series of Doctor Who, in 2010. Apparently the BBC and Tom's agency have declined to comment on the rumour - although we can only take Sky's word for it that they've even been asked. Such a return would make the return of Paul McGann... | ||
| Posted: 07 Oct 2008 09:26 AM CDT Mark Gatiss is behind a new BBC Four drama that looks set to chill you to your very bones... Scripted by Gatiss and produced by Tiger Aspect, Crooked House tells the story of a house and its curse, a damning that exists due to its construction from the wood of old gallows... Julian Rhind-Tutt (Green Wing) is expected to appear, although the majority of casting is not known... although with a broadcast scheduled for the Christmas period, I don't expect to wait too long for the news. Gatiss... | ||
| News: The Writer's Tale Signing Dates Posted: 07 Oct 2008 09:00 AM CDT In promotion of the Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale, Russell T Davies and Benjamin Cook are working a small circuit of major booksellers over the next few days... The Birmingham/Manchester dates look a little ambitious for one days work, but whatever the venue, make sure you start queing early - a quick look at the weather forecast suggests your might need some woolies and a mac if the queue gets too long... LONDON: Wednesday 8th October Waterstone’s Piccadilly at 6pm Store number:... | ||
| Posted: 07 Oct 2008 08:50 AM CDT The SJA kids - Tommy Knight, Daniel Anthony and new girl Anjli Mohindra - tonight appeared on BBC One's Blue Peter, to promote the new series. After a blink and you'll miss it interview (Anjli joked that the boys are divas on set!), the gang then took part in a fairly easy/fairly biased quiz. The boys won... Square root of 81, and all. You can watch the episode over the next seven days on iPlayer. Sadly this feature is only available to licence paying viewers within the UK. In other news, DigitalSpy has posted a number of hints and clues regarding the second episode of "Day of the Clown" that's due on screens next week on the CBBC Channel. Be warned! One of the spoilers happens to be a red herring, deliberately planted to put us off the scent! My advice? I'd say the hint about Aunt Lavinia is false... Anyhoo... American SJA fans, attention! The DVD boxset of the complete first series was released yesterday by Warners (unusually, ahead of its UK release) and can now be picked up online and in stores, so what are you waiting for? Get it now! More news and updates when they reach us here in Sarah-Jane land! | ||

| Posted: 07 Oct 2008 04:23 AM CDT According to a post this morning on the Doctor Who Forum from Derek Hambly at Tenth Planet Events, Ian Collier passed away. Collier was well known to fans as Omega, the renegade Time Lord villain from "Arc of Infinity," a role he later reprised in a special audio appearance for Big Finish Productions, the aptly titled "Omega". Collier also played Stuart Hyde in "The Time Monster" during the Jon Pertwee era, and also appeared in two additional Big Finish audios: as Bernice Summerfield's father | ||

| Posted: 07 Oct 2008 02:36 AM CDT The Sarah Jane Adventures have got off to a flying start with a story about the last surviving Sontaran from the doomed invasion fleet from the two-part Doctor Who S4 story "The Sontaran Strategem". Commander Kaargh demonstrated some new tricks from the tactical armoury of the Glorious Sontaran Empire, including a rather cool Predator-style invisibility shield and a not-so-cool foldaway helmet which looked rather lame and was rather unconvincing. Story-wise, we had a simple plot with Kaargh wanting revenge on the human race and using a remote radio telescope observatory as a base to try and take over the world's satellites to launch all out nuclear war. He is thwarted in the end by a stiletto shoe. I think that sort of resolution only really works on British kid's TV - and work it does, due to the character of Chrissie being given something to do for a change and relishing the chance. Where else in the world would you find a finale like that, eh??? Rumours abound on the Doctor Who front, with David Morrisey playing "the other Doctor" in this year's christmas special, entitled "The Next Doctor". Make of it what you will, but this "other Doctor" has a companion named "Rosita". My theory is that David Morrisey is in fact playing an alternate universe version of the 11th Doctor that David Tennant would have regenerated into during "Journey's End" if he hadn't aborted the process early. More rumours have Patrick Stewart (I think he played someone in a Star Trek series, or something...) playing The Meddling Monk in a two part Dalek story next year. The Monk is another Time Lord, last seen in the 60's era of the show as played by Peter Butterworth. So, it seems that there's another Time Lord that escaped the Time War. So much for it being time locked. Thanks to Dalek Caan for messing that up! :-) What else is on Kopic's radar at the moment? In non-Who stuff we have the excellent Fringe which started on Sky1 this weekend. Most enjoyable modern take on The X-Files, from the very talented JJ Abrams. Which reminds me... only a few more months (alright seven...) until we get JJ Abrams' version of Star Trek with the superb Zachary Quinto as Spock. Which further reminds me of a renewed and rejuvenated Heroes which has also just started airing on the BBC. Straight back in with a bang, new characters and some intriguing glimpses of heroes-turned-villains and maybe villains-turned-heroes? Who knows? Can't wait to see how this unfolds! | ||

Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale - the new book from Russell T Davies co-authored by Benjamin Cook (well known to DWM readers) and basically a collection of email correspondence about the production of Doctor Who - has its own website, where you can read short biographies of the Davies and Cook, as well as find out who has given the book a review, etc. It gets better, however.
