As reported in Doctor Who: Podshock, the Doctor Who spin-off series, Torchwood is being relaunched in the US on the Starz network. The HollywoodReporter.com has an article reporting that name of the rebooted series in the US is Torchwood: The New World. Like last year's acclaimed Torchwood: Children of Earth I would suppose. It is to be ten episodes which to my understanding are telling a story much the same way as Children of Earth did with its five episodes run.

| Posted: 07 Aug 2010 06:08 AM PDT  News sources at the Television Critics Association (TCA) Press Tour are reporting that the forthcoming fourth series of Torchwood will carry the title Torchwood: The New World. A post from The Hollywood Reporter gives details of the series' new characters and quotes from Russell T Davies and Julie Gardner:The new story will follow a CIA agent (Rex) and analyst (Ester) who tackle an alien-related global issue. Torchwood, having been destroyed and disbanded, is "like a legend now ... it's like something that's ceased to exist and is now spoken of only in whispers." Soon, Rex and Ester are on the run and are seeking out the help of Captain Jack and Gwen. The report also contains images of teaser posters which were seen at TCA; the images appear to be previously existing photos of John Barrowman and Eve Myles, with the legend "Torchwood: The New World, Coming Summer 2011.""The two teams coming together is a big part of the story -- are they friends or enemies? There's a lot of sparks and excitement." "We definitely have a really big story to tell," added executive producer Julie Gardner. "It's absolutely rebooted to welcome in a new audience." .... The ten episodes will be very fast paced, telling a self-contained story with the miniseries "Children of Earth" being used as a template. Being on Starz, the show could potentially take advantage of looser standards for nudity and violence. "I've always had loose standards and practices," Davies said. "If the story demands intimacy or savagery, we will go there absolutely ... [but] there's nothing better than a great big global thriller that stops for a sex scene -- it's probably hard to make that happen in a thriller." USA Today also has details on the series' tone, and more quotes from Davies: The team has left Wales for America, as creator Russell T. Davies has left Britain for Los Angeles. The case will tie the two remaining Torchwood members (Jack and Eve Myles's Gwen) to the CIA, and will expand into a world-wide threat. And yet, says Davies, it "will be faithful" to the BBC original. Davies says this story, which "had been ticking away in my mind for a long while," had not been planned as a Torchwood story at all. "And suddenly I thought, there's a popular show, there's a great story, let's put them together...It felt like it definitely could move forward and become new again." Though it will be newer and bigger, the tone won't change, says Davies. Barrowman's Jack will still be TV's only bi-sexual hero, character will still be stressed, and humor will still play a large part in the show's make-up. "I sit there in the editing room saying 'Don't cut that joke! Cut the plot, cut the murder, cut the story, but don't cut the joke.'...It will always be a cheeky show." http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.com  | ||

Or so the website claims; so being the ever ready consumer watchdogs that we aren't; here's a little test, using Kindle's Marketplace, Apples iBooks, and as a comparison, the online BBC Book shop and Waterstones we took the three newest Doctor Who Books (Nuclear Time by Oli Smith, The Kings Dragon by Una McCormack and The Glamour Chase by Gary Russell) and compared prices to see if Kindle really does provide more Who for less. The most surprising thing is that iBooks do not carry the three novels mentioned above* For the remaining sites here is the run down:
The Waterstones offering is in fact the print version for those of us who still love the feel of a book. The eBook version will set you back £6.75 on their website. So there are savings to be made using the Kindle. In July Amazon launched the 'Kindle Next Generation' device which was both 15 per-cent lighter with 5o per-cent better contrast than the previous Kindle 2. According to Amazon the device is now Wi-fi compatible rather than using the cumbersome 3G network connection to download eBooks. While book prices are low; the device will set you back £109 (about $170). Other manufacturers have jumped on the eBook reader bandwagon; Barnes & Noble sells the Nook at $199 in the US, with a Wi-Fi only version for $149. Borders Group offers the Kobo e-Reader for $149, while the Sony Reader Daily Edition costs $250. So how many Who fans out there would consider using an ebook for the latest novels? How many fans already do? Drop us a line below. Visit Amazon's Kindle page to see the full list of available Doctor Who titles. *I accessed the app using an iTouch and found no links for these three titles; if this isn't the case then please drop a comment in below. Thanks to Andy Scarrott. | ||

| Wiped! Doctor Who’s Missing Episodes Posted: 07 Aug 2010 03:12 AM PDT Richard Molesworth is the author behind Wiped! Doctor Who's Missing Episodes, a new release from Telos Publishing this September, the book that tells the remarkable story on how the tapes came to be wiped, and the efforts that went into returning lost copies to the BBC.
In the 1960s, the BBC screened 253 episodes of its cult science fiction show Doctor Who, starring William Hartnell and then Patrick Troughton as the time travelling Doctor. Yet by 1975, the Corporation had wiped the master tapes of every single one of these episodes. Of the 124 Doctor Who episodes starring Jon Pertwee shown between 1970 and 1974, the BBC destroyed over half of the original transmission tapes within two years of their original broadcast. In the years that followed, the BBC, along with dedicated fans of the series, began the arduous task of trying to track down copies of as many missing Doctor Who episodes as possible. The search covered BBC sales vaults, foreign television stations, overseas archives, and numerous networks of private film collectors, until the tally of missing programmes was reduced to just 108 episodes. For the first time, this book looks in detail at how the episodes came to be missing in the first place, and examines how material subsequently came to be returned to the BBC. Along the way, those people involved in the recovery of lost slices of Doctor Who's past tell their stories in candid detail, many for the very first time.
No more rumours, no more misinformation, no more fan gossip. The truth about Doctor Who's missing episodes can now be told in full! Published September 2010, Wiped! costs £15.99 and can be ordered directly from Telos Publishing at www.telos.co.uk. | ||

It's very much an authentic continuation of the TV show." | ||
