| The Annual "When Will It Air?" Post Posted: 03 Dec 2008 02:23 PM CST We go through this every year; knowing that a new series is confirmed or mayber even filmed, yet having no idea when it's going to air. Last year we were all left hanging from New Year's Day onwards, hopeful that the second series might materialise sometime later in 2007. It never did. It was over a year before we saw Torchwood again. Now John Barrowman is playing silly buggers with us, and is quoted online as having saying that the series might not be back until June 2009 - after previously giving late February or early March as the transmission date. But neither date is "final" (says this report). Hmm... With 2009 being a relatively Who-lite year, it makes sense to hold off showing Torchwood series 3 until after February (why waste a fine vintage so early in the year, leaving yourself only bottles of Bucks Fizz for all those other special occassions?!) but to hold it off for summer, especially when it'll air over a 5 day Monday-Friday period... what a silly idea. Surely people are too busy having barbeques and generally summer lovin' then? (Nicholas Briggs, who supplies the voice of the Daleks in Doctor Who, confirmed at the ChicagoTARDIS convention that not only has he just recorded a speaking role for episode 4, but that the reason behind the delay may be because "although the preference for it is to broadcast it in March, five nights of the week" there were "rumblings that the schedulers were having a difficult time finding a week where they could do this that wouldn't mess up other series, and because they really want to stick to that sort of broadcast schedule, it could get postponed to as late as June.") One thing is for sure though - whenever the episode *does* eventually air, the BBC plan to promote it like Hell (they really do want the show to be a success, kids - with a 'regular', i.e. 13 part, fourth series already on the cards). I'm told there's going to be side-of-bus ads again, a "significant" television campaign (that includes a specially made Jack/Gwen/Ianto trailer) and another relaunch of the show's online content. Repeats of series two episodes on BBC Two are another possibility also. So roll on 2009 - come February, or June; Diwali or Hanukkah.. BBC's Torchwood - suitable all year round!* *Excludes the year 2007. | ||
| Posted: 03 Dec 2008 02:00 PM CST Folk lucky enough to have the digital CBBC Channel on their tellys (and no work commitments to boot!) got the chance to watch the first installment of "Enemy of the Bane" last Monday evening; but for everybody else who doesn't and didn't the usual means of watching the episode streamed on BBC iPlayer is, this week, missing. If you try and search for "Enemy of the Bane" (as of 2am GMT Thursday morning) you can select this page, where a warning kindly informs the viewer that the episode has yet to be uploaded, and isn't available to watch. However, in a odd twist of fate, Virgin Media customers have access to iPlayer also - and the video works for them! So how can you watch the latest SJA episode, without resorting to BitTorrent sites? Well, the CBBC site has put the video up here, although you'll need to do two things to watch the video (and sanely!). Firstly, it's only available to watch via Firefox, which you might need to install to your computer. Secondly, there's insane background noise that'll play throughout - and ruin the viewing experience - unless you hit a lever in the top right hand corner and switch it off. I'm afraid it's either that, wait for iPlayer to upload the episode (which probably won't be up until it's BBC One debut next Monday - hmmm, clever marketing ploy?) or indeed watch the episode as it shows live on terrestrial tv. But it's work the wait, IMO, as it's one of the best (if not the best) episode of the SJA's second series, and the only one that's come anywhere near capturing the tone and general sense of adventure that series one had to offer. Just my two cents. | ||

| Posted: 02 Dec 2008 09:35 PM CST The Royal Shakespeare Company has revealed that the skull used by David Tennant for the "Alas, poor Yorick," scene in 22 performances of Hamlet at Stratford-upon-Avon had been donated to the RSC after the 1982 death of pianist Andrew Tchaikowsky. In his will, Tchaikowsky wrote that his skull "shall be offered by the institution receiving my body to the Royal Shakespeare Company for use in theatrical performance". Since then, it has only been used in rehearsals because no actor felt comforta | ||
