Kopic's Doctor Who & Torchwood News |
| Posted: 23 Apr 2009 10:01 AM PDT Barring any last minute delays, Torchwood: Children of Earth launches here in the UK on BBC One on June 15 and runs through that week, ending June 19th. For a while I've been saying that there's no way the series can begin until the second series of Ashes to Ashes (which started last Monday) has concluded its run. That series is scheduled to end June 8th - and with comments by John Barrowman on the Jonathan Ross Radio 2 show recently - presented by David Tennant and Catherine Tate - that Torchwood airs sometime in June, that leaves either a June 15th, June 22nd or June 29th launch. Add into the mix that the current issue of Torchwood Magazine, out today, is full of previews for Children of Earth and that its next issue is out June 25th, with a very spoilery interview with Russell T Davies and set reports from the series, including a look at the mysterious 456, one can deduce that the series is expected to have concluded its run by then. The only way that'd be possible is a June 15th launch - because obviously June 29th is after that new issue is out (so would completely ruin the series a whole week before transmission) and even June 22nd is a bit of a danger area, as subscribers receive copies of their magazines early. June 15th-19th would be fine, and have concluded by the time the magazine is out. (The case could be made that the series launch could occur June 22nd, and the contents of that new issue only cover the first half of the series - at this point I've chosen the June 15th launch date because it's the most likely. It's 80/20 in its favour) Also, you have the June 22nd launch of the Blu Ray, to tie in with hype that the series will have gathered by that point, to maximise sales. People are under the assumption that the schedules are made up on a whim a couple of weeks before transmission. If you know anything about scheduling, you'll know that's simply not true. It's a very complex affair, and programmes are sometimes slotted into schedule a whole year before transmission - look at Doctor Who, with its traditional Christmas Special, and then following Easter series launch. Of course, though it's that complex, changes are still being made here and there, until the day that listings magazines are given the schedules to print (at which point changes are rarely made). No doubt some readers will attack me online and in the comments section below for making such a guess with regards to series lauch. So what. Go ahead. Do your worst. I'm merely communicating with you what is now a very educated guess, based upon several truths and realities that we know to be fact. Pencil in June 15th (and June 22nd to be on the safe side - but it's definitely one of those two dates)!  | ||

| Posted: 23 Apr 2009 08:38 AM PDT The Guardian have reported this week that the BBC are planning to cut their &ound;100m a year marketing budget by 25% in a move that may well see the end of high profile campaigns such as the one accompanying Doctor Who's 2005 return. It seems that an immediate reduction in BBC on-air promotions and billboard campaigns will also come into effect as the BBC cuts its "marketing, communications and audiences" (M,C&A) division's budget by &ound;20m for the financial year, which... | ||

| Rumor alert: X-Files' Gillian Anderson to guest on Doctor Who? Posted: 23 Apr 2009 02:54 AM PDT Is The X-Files star Gillian Anderson going to appear as a legendary villain in the fifth season of the British Doctor Who? That's the rumor being put forward by the U.K. tabloid newspaper the Daily Express. Anderson would reportedly play The Rani opposite Matt Smith's 11th Doctor; as fans know, The Rani is a renegade Time Lady who first appeared in the 1980s incarnation of Who, played by Kate O'Mara. The Daily Express based its dubious report on an anonymous "insider." Anderson, who lives in England, was last seen as Dana Scully in the disappointing sequel film The X-Files: I Want to Believe. | ||
