News: Spaceport Cybershade!

Posted: 01 Feb 2009 10:34 AM CST

The Wirral-based Doctor Who attraction at Spaceport has extended its Art of Doctor Who exhibition until March 1st - and to celebrate they're giving away a Cybershade mask! The wraith-like bronze Cybermen variants were seen briefly in the 2008 Christmas episode The Next Doctor, and were supposed by the Doctor to be Cybernised animals.  The mask to be given away is a Millenium FX original, used in the actual episode... Ken Moss, Spaceport Manager, said: "We wanted something big to...

News: Mobile Doctor Who on iPlayer

Posted: 01 Feb 2009 10:13 AM CST

Windows Mobile users can now access the BBC iPlayer service - and watch Doctor Who and other TV and radio programming on the move! There are several ways to achieve this - and the best summary of these methods online at the moment is an article (by me...) at the Brighthub.com Windows Mobile channel. Currently, the BBC doesn't allow iPlayer synchronisation with any Windows Mobile device, putting owners of such handhelds at a disadvantage to the Apple iPhone users. Which I for one find...

Big Finish Launches Robin Hood Talking Books

Posted: 01 Feb 2009 07:57 AM CST

Big Finish are excited to announce a series of six talking books based on the BBC's hit series Robin Hood. Designed to be hour-long one-voice productions, each story will be read by a member of the original television cast.

The BBC's adaptation of the Robin Hood legend for it's Saturday night drama slot has proven to be massively popular worldwide. With action and adventure galore, the series has revitalised the traditions of the story and opened it up for an entirely new young audience.

In an innovative move, Big Finish's series of talking books will tie closely into the third year of the show, reflecting the themes, plots and characters of the season as it unfolds. Each story will be available on CD, or as a download from www.bigfinish.com/robin-hood

Four actors from the series have lent their voices to the stories: Jonas Armstrong (Robin Hood); Richard Armitage (Guy of Gisbourne); Sam Troughton (Much) and David Harewood (Tuck) have all provided stunning performances that fans are sure to enjoy.

The first season of Big Finish's Robin Hood talking books is as follows:

The Witchfinders, by Rebecca Levene
Read by Richard Armitage

The Tiger's Tail, by Jonathan Clements
Read by Jonas Armstrong

Friendly Fire, by Trevor Baxendale
Read by David Harewood

The Dambusters, by Michael Abberton
Read by Sam Troughton

The Deer Hunters, by Jonathan Clements
Read by Sam Troughton

The Siege, by Simon Guerrier
Read by Richard Armitage


The first release will be available shortly after the first episode of Robin Hood's third season airs on BBC1, but you can pre-order your copies now from www.bigfinish.com/robin-hood

If you would like to be sent more details when they are available, please send an email to info@bigfinish.com

News: Matt Smith's Pulled

Posted: 01 Feb 2009 06:55 AM CST

Damned hippies with their long hair!  That certainly seems to be the attitude to the man with the hair Matt Smith, whose long hair has provoked as much attention as his perception as an unknown to the public (despite him starring noticeably alongside Billie Piper on three occasions). So with the hair comes the girl, and in more ways than one it would appear!  That bastion of style the Daily Mail has a piece on Mr Smith's rather stunning partner, Brazilian beauty Mayana Moura, whose...
