Kopic's Doctor Who & Torchwood News |
| Posted: 15 Apr 2009 03:11 PM PDT The press has been following filming for David Tennant's final Doctor Who story. Reports have focused on new filming by Catherine Tate, who confirmed on Radio 2 last Saturday that she and Bernard Cribbins will be appearing in the two-part Christmas story. Also spotted during filming are actress June Whitfield ("Terry and June", "Absolutely Fabulous") and actors Barry Howard ("Hi-de-Hi!") and Karl Collins ("The Bill"). Recent filming in Swansea has been covered by The Western Mail, The South W | ||
| Is Torchwood Getting A Check-Up? Posted: 15 Apr 2009 12:42 PM PDT Another entry for our unsubstantiated rumour department: Some fans are claiming to have recently seen the Torchwood cast filming scenes for the 2009 Doctor Who specials. No definitive set reports or photographs have surfaced as of yet, so this possible "spoiler" should be taken with more than a grain of salt. A starting point for these claims may have been last Saturday's "Jonathan Ross Show" on BBC Radio 2. As jackharkness posted last week, David Tennant and Catherine Tate filled in as hosts for the program, with John Barrowman as their special guest. The three actors obviously enjoyed their time together, and at one point made reference to a discussion they had been having "the other day". Could this be a clue that we may soon see the Hub dwellers getting a check-up from the Doctor? Or was that innocent remark only more grist for the rumour mill?  | ||
| News: Moffat Era Production Team Named Posted: 15 Apr 2009 09:25 AM PDT The final pieces of the jigsaw have been set - the Three Who Rule have been finalised, and their dual subservient producers have been named as the Matt Smith/Steven Moffat era of Doctor Who begins to take shape... Joining Doctor Who Lead Writer and Executive Producer Steven Moffat and fellow Executive Piers "Arsene" Wenger is Ashes to Ashes producer Beth Willis.

| Posted: 15 Apr 2009 08:16 AM PDT The 2010 series of Doctor Who is shaping up nicely, don't you think? Not only do we have the ever brilliant Steven Moffat as Head Writer and the youthful Matt Smith as his Eleventh Doctor, but now it's been confirmed that Peter Bennett (Producer of Torchwood's "Children of Earth" series) will take over the role that Phil Collinson once occupied, as main series Producer. The BBC's Press Office confirms his promotion, and notes that he'll share the job with Tracie Simpson (who has already produced "Planet of the Dead" as well as the Christmas 2009 finale to the David Tennant era). Beth Willis (Ashes to Ashes - which is back next Monday, don't cha know?) steps in as the show's third Executive Producer, alongside Moffat and Piers Wenger. *** I'm hearing that Torchwood's fourth season (if commissioned...) won't film until at least next February or March, as John Barrowman is looking to return to the stage at some point later this year, and then head up his usual Christmas time panto, plus there's the fact that Gareth David-Lloyd is in America for the next few months. Hmm... what with this and whispers that the Torchwood Hub set has been torn down to make room for the new look TARDIS console room it's looking like it'll be a nervous few months for us Woodies as we wait to hear what comes next, beyond the "Children of Earth".  | ||

| Posted: 15 Apr 2009 03:31 AM PDT I popped up to Bradford for Eastercon last weekend, and I must say I think it was very well organised, with, in particular, a terrific programme. It's good to see a serious comics strand at an SF convention, for one thing. Many old friends met with, several new ones encountered. I did two panels, one about comic book universes, and the many continuity issues arising thereof (good fun, a | ||
