| News: Robert Carlyle: New Show! No Who? Posted: 16 Dec 2008 10:15 AM CST Fans of Robert Carlyle will be over the moon to hear that he has landed the lead role in a new Stargate spin off series to be called Stargate Universe in which he plays Dr David Rush - the leader of a team of survivors who flee through a Stargate when their base is attacked. The show will revolve around them finding themselves on an alien starship and trying to unravel its secrets as they try to return home to earth. The Daily Record quotes Mark Stern of the Sci-Fi Channel who commissioned... | ||
| News: The Journal of Impossible Things Posted: 16 Dec 2008 10:04 AM CST Character Options will release the long awaited replica of John Smith's Journal of Impossible Things from the series 3 two-part story Human Nature/Family of Blood in January. This gorgeous-looking item will include a few blank pages at the back in which you can use the included mini sonic screwdriver pen to write your own notes. Personally, this sounds like the ultimate autograph book in which to collect your favourite Doctor Who stars' signatures! You can pre-order this from Forbidden... | ||
| Posted: 16 Dec 2008 09:03 AM CST The very wonderful DigitalSpy website has launched previews of a number of shows coming to television screens in 2009 (including the likes of Ashes to Ashes, and ITV's Demons) and today has added Torchwood: Children of Earth to that ever expanding list. Warning, however, because the preview contains a number of SPOILERS regarding the serial's plot... Over to Peter Bennett, producer of series three: "It's different to every other year. It's not a story about spaceships, but it's about a government that did a deal with aliens back in the '60s, and they're now dealing with the consequences of that deal when the sins of their past come back to haunt them. "We sort of bring in Gwen's husband Rhys (Kai Owen). He was always on the fringes anyway but he takes a much more active part in the storyline now. And we've got a new young lady who helps the team - I wouldn't say she's part of the team but she kind of helps them out. She's played by a new actress called Cush Jumbo, who's a very pretty young lady and who I'm sure is going to go on to bigger things." There's also an update on who wrote what for the new series... "We've got James Moran, who wrote for the last series of Torchwood, and we've got a guy called John Fay who previously wrote all sorts of things. Russell was a fan of his, so he's come and written episode two, which is brilliant. Russell did one, John did two, James did three and then Russell did four and five." There's no individual episode titles, I'm afraid. Oh, and finally, what's the possibility of John Barrowman departing from the show next year? "I think it would be very difficult without John. I've not heard him say he wouldn't want to stick around after a third series, so I'm not sure where that's come from. But he certainly never mentioned it to us or on set. It wouldn't be the same without him obviously. Captain Jack is a star in his own right!" You can read the full preview here. | ||

| Posted: 16 Dec 2008 12:11 AM CST BBC One brought the second series of The Sarah Jane Adventures to an end yesterday, with the terrestrial broadcast of Enemy of the Bane, Part 2. With just over a week to go before Christmas, why not thank the cast for the great job they've done by sending off some of your spare Christmas cards to 'em? Elisabeth Sladen Roger Carey Associates, Suite 909, The Old House, Shepperton Film Studios, Studios Road-Shepperton, Middlesex, TW17 0QD. Tommy Knight/Yasmin Paige/Anjli Mohindra Curtis Brown, Haymarket House, 28-29 Haymarket, London, SW1Y 4SP. Daniel Anthony A&J Management, 242a The Ridgeway, Botany Bay, Enfield, EN2 8AP. Who knows, they may like your cards so much - they may even write back! In keeping with the Christmas spirit, The Sarah Jane Smith Wardrobe Appreciation Society has a new Advent Calendar up! Updated daily with Sarah Jane quizzes, games and fan videos - it's bound to dull the pain of SJA withdrawal over the holiday period! I'm personally rather fond of the Things to do on Monday Evenings and Bannerman Road Best Dressed pages! Be sure to check out the site for more goodies in the coming days! | ||
| Posted: 15 Dec 2008 11:37 PM CST When it comes to recommending stuff from this year, it'd be very easy to choose things I like that a lot of other people like too: The Dark Knight; Iron Man; the work of John Scalzi and Brian Michael Bendis; Fringe and The Wire. So rather than do that, I thought I'd add a new headache to this demented progression towards Christmas (and the work's going fine this morning, thanks for asking) by | ||

| News: Dervla Kirwan Interviewed Posted: 15 Dec 2008 07:00 PM CST Delicious Dirvla Kirwan spoke to the Telegraph recently about her recent - and past - work, including of course this years Doctor Who Christmas Special, The Next Doctor. Personally speaking, I find her extremely pleasing on the eye, and it seems that I'm not alone, with the Telegraph's Lucy Cavendish noting that Kirwan is: ...somehow immensely approachable yet interestingly intense. She has such a darkly pretty face – all pale skin and big eyes and a mass of brown hair... | ||
