| This Weekend In Torchwood Posted: 27 Apr 2009 09:36 AM PDT Last month Kai Owen announced he was in training for the 2009 Flora London Marathon. The marathon was held yesterday, April 26, and Kai was out there running alongside more than 35,000 other participants . He may not have come in first place (you can see his results here) but he did raise over £3500 for the Cancer & Leukemia In Children charity. Congratulations, Kai! *****  This past Saturday, April 25, saw the release of Torchwood's first graphic novel, "Rift War", compiled from the official magazine's comic inserts. To celebrate the day, Forbidden Planet, London's geek megastore, hosted a special signing with the book's creative team. Even if you couldn't make it to the event, you can still get yourself a signed copy of "Rift War" on their site for £7.99. For the bargain-hunters among us, Amazon.co.uk has regular editions for £2 less. ***** Do the people behind Sci-Fi Collector ever sleep? Last week they announced their second wave of Torchwood action figures, and now they're back again with the announcement that two of those characters will be released early, in limited-edition. Ianto Jones and Captain John Hart figures will be available as part of the second wave later this summer, but particularly obsessive fans may be interested to know that both are now available in collectible packaging. The reason for the fancy wrappings? Only 1,000 of each figure were produced, and the majority of these will only be available at upcoming gigs by Gareth David-Lloyd or James Marsters. If you're determined to get your hands on them (the toys, not the actors!), a certain number have been set aside for online-only sales. They can be purchased individually for £14.99 each, or as a set for £29.99, here. 1000 Iantos, 1000 Captain Johns... That warehouse must be Captain Jack's wet dream come true.  |
| News: Evil Time Lords? Tabloid Rumour Posted: 27 Apr 2009 07:49 AM PDT Tabloid comic (and yeah, that's some achievment) the Daily Star reckon they know what's to come in David Tennant's Tenth Doctor finale - and that it involves the return of a powerful and ancient race to Doctor Who... Spoilers are possible in the following passages - but bearing in mind that all of this can surely be nothing more than conjecture based on some clues and blurry camera phone snaps, don't take any of it too seriously. Or for granted, just to be safe. The Daily Star reckon that...  |
| CoE Launch Month Announced! Posted: 27 Apr 2009 03:57 AM PDT Well, chalk this one up to the fans. The BBC recently sent out a press release confirming what most diehard Woodies have already guessed: June 2009 will be the month we finally get to see "Children of Earth". We're still(!) waiting for the exact date to be confirmed. However, the British Film Institute will host a star-studded preview of the first episode on Friday, June 12 in London. (Wow, way to snub Wales.) And not to get too far ahead of myself, but that date seems to make June 15, the following Monday, the best candidate for CoE's transmission. The BFI has also sent out a spoiler-lite summary of Episode 1: 1965: Twelve children are gathered on a deserted moor, before being surrounded by a harsh, bright light .... and then they are gone!
Today: all over Earth, children stop moving. Stop playing, stop laughing. Then, as one, they begin to speak with the same voice, announcing the imminent arrival of a new alien threat. "We are coming...". As the British government closes ranks, it issues a death warrant against Captain Jack and Torchwood... In this case, it seems like being "outside the government" isn't exactly something to brag about, hmmmm Captain Jack? ( full news article here)  |
