| The Black Guardian Trilogy - DVD cover and details Posted: 29 Jun 2009 05:04 AM PDT The Black Guardian Trilogy - DVD cover and details 2|entertain have sent DWO the cover & details for The Black Guardian Trilogy DVD release. The Black Guardian Trilogy Mawdryn Undead Earth 1983. The mysterious Black Guardian hovers over the shoulder of English public schoolboy, Turlough, determined to enlist his aid in his deadly scheme – the assassination of the Doctor. Meanwhile the TARDIS is trapped inside a huge space ship in perpetual orbit, a permanent resting place for the miserable Mawdryn and his eight fellow scientists, all condemned to a state of perpetual regeneration. Only the Doctor's life force can free them, but at a deadly cost – the price of his powers of regeneration. With Nyssa and Tegan stranded in the time zone of 1977, and the Black Guardian closing in, the Doctor faces a terrible dilemma... Special Features: · Commentary - with actors Peter Davison, Mark Strickson and Nicholas Courtney, script editor Eric Saward. Terminus Thanks to the combined efforts of the treacherous Turlough and the Black Guardian, the Doctor and his companions are in terrible danger. The TARDIS is breaking up and the outside world has begun to break through. Can the TARDIS' fail safe mechanism save them all by docking with another ship? It seems unlikely when the nearest vessel is a carrier of plague victims destined for the infamous Terminus, the time-bomb planet ticking at the centre of the universe... Special Features: · Commentary - with actors Peter Davison, Mark Strickson and Sarah Sutton, writer Stephen Gallagher. Enlightenment The White Guardian warns of impending danger and directs the TARDIS to what appears to be an Edwardian sailing yacht, the SS Shadow, but is actually one of a number of spaceships taking part in a race through the solar system. The first prize is Enlightenment – ultimate wisdom to gain one's heart's desire - and some of the more devious crews will stop at nothing in order to claim it. But as the Black Guardian's evil mesh draws tight, it looks as though the Doctor might not live to cross the finishing line. Special Features: · Commentary - with actors Peter Davison and Mark Strickson, writer Barbara Clegg and director Fiona Cumming. The Black Guardian Trilogy is released on 10th August 2009, priced £39.99.

| Posted: 29 Jun 2009 04:27 AM PDT It's only a week to go now until Torchwood: Children of Earth debuts on British television - and the good news for Australian fans is that the episodes show Down Under the exact same day (8:30pm on UKTV, don't you know). In the build up to launch, the BBC have released another trailer for the serial, that has been running inbetween a hell of a lot of post-watershed programming.  Tomorrow's edition of the Radio Times is expected to have a Torchwood themed cover, and will have interviews with the cast and crew. Check back here tomorrow for a full report on what you'll find inside it.After that, Wednesday/Thursday/Friday see (well, not technically...) the three brand spanking new Torchwood audio adventures air on Radio 4. They are: Asylum (Weds @ 2:15pm) Written by Anita Sullivan, directed by Kate McAll. When PC Andy arrests a teenager for shoplifting, he thinks it is going to be a routine case. Then he sees the weapon she is carrying and decides to call in the Torchwood team. Under questioning from Gwen, the girl remembers her name but little else, and when she speaks it is in a strange mix of English and Scandinavian, but with a Cardiff accent. Then the girl's blood tests come through and the team is faced with a dilemma. Jack ...... John Barrowman Gwen ...... Eve Myles Ianto ...... Gareth David-Lloyd PC Andy ...... Tom Price Freda ...... Erin Richards Security Guard ...... Matthew Gravelle Policewoman ...... Sara McGaughey Dog Walker ...... Dick Bradnum Girl ...... Isabel Lewis Golden Age (Thursday @ 2:15pm) Written by James Goss, directed by Kate McAll. The Torchwood team are led to Delhi on the trail of a dangerous energy field. As the field grows, they witness the simultaneous disappearance of hundreds of people. Jack discovers that the field centres on an old colonial mansion, Torchwood India. Shocked to find that Torchwood India is still going strong after he shut it down himself over 80 years ago, he is even more surprised to find that its members, including his old flame the Duchess, haven't aged a day. Jack ...... John Barrowman Gwen ...... Eve Myles Ianto ...... Gareth David-Lloyd The Duchess ...... Jasmine Hyde Mr Daz ...... Amerjit Dew Mahajan ...... Ravin J Ganatra Gissing ...... Richard Mitchley The Dead Line (Friday @ 2:15pm) Written by Phil Ford, directed by Kate McAll. When a Cardiff hospital is inundated with patients who have fallen into coma -like trances, Torchwood move in to investigate. The trances appear to have been triggered by phone calls, all received on retro phones and made from a number that hadn't been active for over 30 years. Determined to find out who has been calling the unfortunate victims, Jack rings the mysterious number, but the line is dead. But then it calls Jack back. Jack ...... John Barrowman Gwen ...... Eve Myles Ianto ...... Gareth David-Lloyd Rhys ...... Kai Owen Stella ...... Dona Croll Jan ...... Eiry Thomas Bob ...... Matthew Gravelle Tyler ...... Brendan Charleson Also, don't forget to check out the new series of Torchwood original fiction novels from BBC Books - which include The House that Jack Built, Bay of the Dead and Into the Silence. Amazon currently has them for around a fiver, or alternatively you can pick them up in Waterstones' current summer 3 For 2 offer. (Thanks to Katie from eBury for this, and apologies it's taken so long for me to report!) Finally, a sneaky ten hints as to what to expect from next Monday night onwards. More from us throughout the week!!  | ||
| Bernice Summerfield: The Inside Story Posted: 29 Jun 2009 03:42 AM PDT BERNICE SUMMERFIELD: THE INSIDE STORY Available in August 2009! EVEN BEFORE BIG FINISH began making Doctor Who adventures, one woman was already making her mark: Bernice Summerfield. Created by Paul Cornell, the space archaeologist first appeared in the Virgin New Adventures novels alongside the Seventh Doctor, and it was from these novels that her first few audio adventures were culled, helping to fill the gap when there was no Doctor Who on TV. The success of these opening instalments has led to nine subsequent series and regular Bernice Summerfield books. As her latest, 10th, series of audio adventures gets underway, Big Finish proudly presents a book detailing Ms Summerfield's rise from companion to fully-fledged lead. Bernice Summerfield: The Inside Story, written by Simon Guerrier and comprising 320 illustrated pages and more than 300,000 words, is a chronicle of Doctor Who while it was off the air. It picks up the story after David Howe's The Target Book, which covered the range of novelisations of original series episodes, and examines over 150 adventures for Benny in book, comic and audio form – some of which were never made. Many of those who wrote for The New Adventures and Benny have gone on to be involved with the new series of Doctor Who – Cornell himself, Russell T Davies, Mark Gatiss, Matt Jones, Gary Russell, Simon Winstone, Steven Moffat and Joseph Lidster. Since 1992, Benny has endured a long and successful publishing life, with many of Big Finish's regular writers, including Mark Michalowski, Eddie Robson, Cavan Scott and Mark Wright, all cutting their teeth on her adventures. These people and many others are interviewed in the book, alongside New Who supremo Russell T Davies, SF author Iain Banks and frequent Big Finish star and acting legend David Warner. Bernice Summerfield: The Inside Story will be released in August priced £29.99 and can be pre-ordered now from www.bigfinish.com. SPECIAL OFFER The pre-ordered copies will be signed by author Simon Guerrier and the voice of Benny, Lisa Bowerman. | ||
| Posted: 29 Jun 2009 02:29 AM PDT Well here's my first 'Gallifrey blog' as I've been fairly busy. As many of you who listen to the CIA podcast Ian 'The Sixth Doctor' and I have decided that after quite a few months of keeping CIA going - without really being able to push it forward - we are going to start our own podcast on Talkshoe. Since I came up with the term we are going with the name Cultdom for this Talkshoe podcast - Talkshoe ID 54821 We will still run on Sunday (for some parts of the world early Monday) but at a later time of 3.30PM EDT. This is so that we are clear of Podchock LIVE when it is up and running during Doctor Who Series 5 and also means that CIA under West can continue - should he so choose. After chatting Ian and I decided to carry on with CIA upto and including Episode 100 (this is after a slight re-numbering that cleared out 0 minute shows.) | ||
| Posted: 29 Jun 2009 01:37 AM PDT "Ooooh, that sounds like a good tabloid wheeze!" - a confident denial from the man himself which while not quite definitive, certainly puts a massive khybosh on the prospect of a Doctor Who "reunion" for Children in Need this year. Speaking to The Chicago Tribune, David covers many things including SJA, Matt Smith, Comic Con and more. On the matter of a Children in Need special however : "It's not something I've heard anything about. And I would have thought they'd... | ||
