You Are Cordially Invited...

The Sarah Jane Adventures! Liverpool! Episode screening! With added David Tennant, playing the Tenth Doctor!!! And... breathe.

THE WEDDING OF MR PETER DALTON & MISS SARAH JANE SMITH...

Yes, today's the day for us lucky folks, who are heading on down to Liverpool to attend a fancy HD screening of The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith - having either booked tickets online, or been invited to attend a special press showing of the episodes in question. Thanks to cohort Nabu San I've nabbed myself a seat (if you pardon the pun) in one of the press screenings - and together me and Nabu will be representing SARAH-JANE.tv at the event.

If you see either of us around on the day (we're easy to spot... usually being the ones who stalk the SJA cast and crew) pop over and say hi! I have my camera with me, so will be taking snaps throughout the day and no doubt the best will end up here on site.

Don't worry if you haven't got tickets - the Liverpool One shopping centre is running a number of SJA related events throughout the day (continuing Sunday, along with the second batch of previews) that you and the kids can join in on. So, come along and have a fab SJA themed day out!

To whet everybody's appetites, here's a preview of the next two episodes as posted by DigitalSpy - be warned though, as it contains a few SPOILERS.

The site reports:

+ DT is technically in both episodes, but he doesn't appear right until the end of the first one. His opening words? "Stop this wedding now!"

+ Ahh yes, the wedding. Sarah Jane is getting married! To Nigel Havers. Erm, correction: a businessman called Peter Dalton who is played by Nigel Havers.

+ Yes, their relationship moves quickly - although there is a lot of use of things like "one week later".

+ But that aside, there's definitely something untoward going on here. Who's to blame? Why, it's Sarah Jane's old friend The Trickster!

+ When The Doctor shows up, he's quickly parted from Sarah Jane (and the TARDIS). He's got the kids to help him out, though.

+ The Doctor says two of his standard catchphrases: "Allons-y" and "I'm so sorry."

+ The Doctor is referred to as "the man of ice and fire" and is told that "the gate is waiting for you".

+ One of the kids receives a massive shock. Literally.

10. The story ends with an exchange between Sarah Jane and The Doctor that provoked tears here at DS Towers. And she has a final line that we'll all be thinking around Christmas time: "No-one's **** ***** ** ****** ***."

Here's a direct link to the DigitalSpy post - with added screengrabs from the eps included!

If you attend the day, let us know how you found the experience and/or episodes!

See you there tomorrow!! Well, strictly speaking... today*!

* Massive apologies! I had hoped to have this up online soon after The Mad Woman in the Attic concluded... but having to walk to work kinda got in the way...

Children in Need to feature Christmas Special Preview

The BBC has confirmed that there will be a preview of the 2009 Doctor Who Christmas Special on this years Children in Need TV appeal show, on Friday 20th November.

New funding for children's television

Posted: 23 Oct 2009 04:51 AM PDT

The BBC Trust has approved an additional £25.5million investment in BBC Children's programming over three years, in order to secure high quality productions such as The Sarah Jane Adventures, which may have been at risk as a result of pressures on budgets.

Jana Bennett, Director BBC Vision, has welcomed the BBC Trust's endorsement of the package of initiatives designed to strengthen the role of the BBC as the cornerstone of home-produced children's output in the UK. The package is in response to the Trust's recommendations laid out in February 2009, and aims to reinforce the creative strength of BBC Children's and help the CBBC Channel maintain its position. Bennett said: "I am incredibly proud of the creative strength of CBeebies and CBBC and the unique value to children they bring. They empower, entertain and reflect the lives of children in this country through consistently high-quality, home-grown programmes."

The package includes continued monitoring of the CBBC block of programmes on BBC One together with a development of a daytime show that could play for half an hour at 5.30pm weekdays. If one is found and is successful, over the next two years the BBC will consider reinstating programmes such as The Sarah Jane Adventures, Blue Peter and Newsround to their original times around 5pm. Series One of The Sarah Jane Adventures was shown in this later slot and achieved 50% higher ratings than the shows shown at the current time of 4.35pm.

Bennett added: "We are seeking to balance the interests of viewers in supporting a strong 6 O'Clock News and protecting children's programmes."

Future Echoes

Posted: 23 Oct 2009 02:01 AM PDT

Overnight figures are in for the opening episode of The Mad Woman in the Attic and things are... well, pretty much consistent (no dramatic rises or falls...). The episode managed to draw 0.6 million viewers, according to Marcus at the Doctor Who News Page, which was a 5.7% of the television audience available at that time. It's a very similar figure to what last week's episodes scored.

"HE IS RETURNING..."

Here are some of your opinions on yesterday's episode:

Brandon - "Not as good as i'd hoped, some good bits with Sarah and Clyde though.Why did they pick two boys who look similar to Tommy Knight? or is it just all boys have that same haircut nowadays."

Lauren - "I'm not Rani's biggest fan, but I liked it. Especially loved the banter between Sarah Jane and Clyde. Dead-pan much? LOL. I couldnt help but laugh when Eve started talking outloud though. If you've seen Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging you'll know what I'm talking about, cause it's so different to SJA it would be hard to take an actress seriously, but I think she did a good job (: Overall I liked it way more than I thought I would."

Anonymous - "I thought it was a great episode, like SJA's new approch to humor. Really reminded me of Fear Her... 9/10 from me!"

David - "I really loved the episode, it was very different to the usual and it was great to see Rani getting something big to do for a change. "

Stel - "I have to agree with Anonymous - as great as Rani is in the episode, I am still in Camp Maria, 110%. The reviewer said it - she won't ever replace Maria. But despite that, I haven't enjoyed an episode so much in a while - the banter with Clyde and Sarah Jane (I know everyone keeps saying it, but it's true) was just so brilliant, and hilarious, I can't help re-watching the episode just for that! And Eve too - she's fascinating. Can't wait for this afternoon!!"

Carnivac - "I thought it was a lot better than last weeks episode and a much more interesting plot too whereas the Judoon one felt just too run of the mill. Eve is an intriguing character and I like her design.Yeah I did find it odd that all the boys had the same sort of hairstyle. I had mine similar a few years ago too. Not an important thing but I liked the sketch of SJ also. Thought that was really well done and captured the youthfulness of Lis Sladen's features well. The way that woman looks, wears those clothes and moves like she does, it's still hard to believe she's just over 60. I'd put her more late 30s/early to mid 40s. She's lovely and yeah I still have the ol' crush on her that I did from when I was a kid watching re-runs of her 3rd and 4th Doc stories. :)"

Don't forget, you can catch the episode on BBC iPlayer for the next 7 days...

***

I'm hearing whispers that the third season will be made available on Blu-Ray at some point mid-2010. This means it won't be released alongside the DVD boxset in January. Confirmation of this still pending, mind.

Remember!! The Mad Woman in the Attic - Part Two airs from 4:35pm today on both BBC One and BBC HD simultaneously. Please, feel free to leave your thoughts and opinions about the adventure in the comments section don't below.

The Mind of Evil In Colour (Just Not Yet) and More!

Posted: 22 Oct 2009 10:15 PM PDT

DWIN was pleased to sponsor an evening event featuring Doctor Who Restoration Team maestro Steve Roberts. The discussion with Steve included a demonstration from Steve about the Chroma Dot Recovery process and how it worked on restoring colour to the previously black and white Planet of the Daleks episode 3.

Chroma Dot Recovery, or Colour Recovery as it as is called, is a process so fantastic even the Doctor might call it magic. As fans know, many Jon Pertwee episodes only exist as black and white film recordings of colour videotape. What some clever boffins realized though, is that these black and white film recordings still contained the field information for the chroma (colour) signal as a series of dots. Through a highly technical process that I can only barely understand (but you can read about here) they have now figured out how transform those dots into an actual colour signal. The results are remarkable.

We were pleased to see Steve demonstrate how this was done with Planet of the Daleks 3 (the episode was already being computer colorized when this process was proved viable—in the end they took the Chroma Dot recovered work and added it to the computer coloured work to provide a near perfect recreation of the colour on this episode). But Steve had one more thing to show us.

Steve then showed us a clip of The Mind of Evil. In colour.

That CR has been used on The Mind of Evil is probably the worst kept secret in Doctor Who today. But Steve finally had permission to give fans the whole story of what was going on with the colour recovery on The Mind of Evil and the answer is more complex.

image

Yes, they have managed to achieve colour recovery on The Mind of Evil episodes 2-6 (Episode 1 is apparently unrecoverable due to some setting made in original transmission that prevented the chroma information from being recorded). But the result is far from stable. While some scenes, such as one shown to us from Episode 2, are stunning in how well the original colours were able to be recovered, other scenes are much less than satisfactory. We saw a clip from the climax of the story in Episode 6 where the colours bled badly into each other and there was psychadelic strobing effects when characters moved on screen.

So the short story here is: yes, The Mind of Evil is now (mostly) in colour through a process that seemed like science fiction even a year ago. No, it's not coming out on DVD anytime soon.

Steve Roberts indicated that the story has been pushed back as far as possible to allow for other cost-effective solutions to transpire to stabilize the colour recovery through manual intervention, computer colourization, further enhancements of the Chroma Dot recovery process or some other still-to-be-discovered means. And if nothing can be found it may be released in Black and White. Fans wait and hold their breath until then…

Other interesting news from the evening with Steve Roberts:

  • Colour recovery has not yet been attempted on the other two black and white Pertwee stories, The Ambassadors of Death and Invasion of the Dinosaurs episode 1, though Steve indicates that CR has worked on episodes of Ambassadors' vintage and while Invasion of the Dinosaurs 1 is a print further down the line, as it were, the chroma information is still there.
  • There are no plans to do animated episodes for stories which have episodes missing from the BBC archives as the cost is prohibitive. In fact, no incomplete story (that wasn't in the Lost In Time DVD release) is currently on the DVD release schedule at this time (heartbreaking for fans of The Ice Warriors who want to see it VidFIREd!)
  • There is a rough schedule drawn up for the next three years, culminating in the last classic DVD release in November 2013, the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who
  • The process of releases are only rarely affected by the new series: the only instance where this happened was pushing up The Invasion of Time because of the appearance of the Sontarans
  • The classic series range will soon be reverting to the branding of the new series and after five years Doctor Who will have one unified brand. And for all those fans who fear for the spines in their DVD collection, BBC and 2Entertain are apparently going to release reversible cover art with the 'McGann' logo still on the opposite side. (North Americans need to start lobbying BBC America!)

All in all it was a great evening with the highlight of seeing footage from Doctor Who in colour previously unseen in this format in North America since it aired on PBS in the 1970s. Incredible!
