| Deep In The Heart of Tex.. er…TARDIS? Posted: 09 Jan 2011 01:28 PM PST Fantasy Factory...a company in Texas gifts humanity a much needed product…Themed Door Products! The Doctor Who Tardis 3D door.
According to the website this " Amazing new product, quickly give any room an exciting new look with our themed door kits. And for 350.00 space bucks it can be yours! To round out your home's decor you can and an Avatar, Space Shuttle, Holodeck, Tim Burton, or a Princess door. Don't bother asking about the $2000.00 Underwater Cartoon Themed Door. Because if you have that kind of money you're probably not reading this… you're more likely to be out at your weekly rocket sled races in the Bahamas…drinking unicorn brandy while androids carve your likeness into the moon. The TARDIS door is pretty cool tho… which is obviously based on the special Earthshock TARDIS design. -Rod | ||

| Posted: 09 Jan 2011 09:00 AM PST The last installment in the Seventh Doctor trilogy leaves this reviewer in a bit of a conundrum. There is no problem as such with the play, it's finely crafted, well acted and is perfect to listen to during these cold winter months. However, after the two preceding episodes were so strong and formed the umbrella of a larger story, it seems an odd choice to suddenly cut to a standalone story. Before we digress, let's review; we've had two major stories for the Seventh Doctor, Ace and Hex before Lurkers at Sunlight's Edge. In these pieces, we've seen the Doctor and his friends take on the Forge in an abandoned London with Hex having to face up to some major revelations and then we've carried straight on to find that the Word Lord has returned only for the Doctor to die in order to save the world from him! Now that's action and adventure! By the time we get to Lurkers at Sunlight's Edge, things certainly do feel wrapped up and the TARDIS crew ready for new adventures. However, this being a trilogy of plays, it feels ever so slightly out of sorts, as if the last piece of the puzzle was lost and this is its replacement. Not to say that it's a bad replacement at all, in fact this is a very strong story indeed, the first episode evoking memories and visuals from Tomb of the Cybermen, deserted catacombs harbouring deadly and mysterious inhabitants. The TARDIS team find their duties split here, in a nice even manner, however it's Ace who once again finds herself attached to a poor, misunderstood creature. It's odd comparing Ace to how she's grown in the Big Finish Universe compared to that of the New Adventures and to an extent the Doctor Who Magazine comic strip. In the latter two, Ace became more hardened to the experiences around her. Death became a constant companion that she almost welcomed into her life. In the world of Big Finish, Ace still retains her humanity and especially in this play. Her new found friend's unfortunate end resonates with you sometime after listening to it, a touching update to how things were done when Sophie Aldred was playing the character on TV. This is certainly something worth listening to, it's atmospheric, creepy and keeps you engaged as you find out the mysteries of the snowy island that shouldn't be there. Performances are, as always, top notch, special mention goes to Stuart Milligan who embitters the character of Emerson Whytecrag in a brilliantly nutty and dangerous man. It would have been nice to have this as a final slice in the trilogy to really round things up, maybe a larger story arc was needed to help push it along, the only advice you'll get to properly enjoy this is the following: buy it on its own. Enjoy it as a single play that has nothing to do with any other. It stands up on its own merits and that's the way you'll really appreciate it. Starring Sylvester McCoy, Sophie Aldred, Philip Olivier, Michael Brandon (The Stolen Earth) and Stuart Milligan (Dreamland), Lurkers at Sunlight's Edge is available now from www.bigfinish.com! | ||

| Posted: 08 Jan 2011 09:26 PM PST Accompanying Saturday's press release from BBC Cymru Wales, BBC Worldwide and US premium entertainment network, Starz Entertainment were a selection of character bios that provide an interesting insight into how the development of Torchwood: Miracle Day has been shaped by Russell T Davies and his team of writers… Interestingly, Captain Jack Harkness features second on the list, with Rex Matheson top; could the bankability of former ER star Mekhi Phifer lead to him topping the bill for the series? After all Barrowman is largely unknown in the USA outside of BBC America and fans of Shark Attack 3: Megalodon…
Jack looks like a hero. He's handsome, witty and subversive with a killer smile. But there's a reason for that glint in his eye. His dashing style hides a secret. Truth is Jack Harkness is immortal, the only one of his kind. He once ran the Torchwood Institute, a British organization dedicated to fighting the strange and bizarre. But Torchwood closed down, and Jack disappeared, to start yet another of his many new lives. When a new, epic danger affects the whole planet, Jack finds himself back at the center of events, fighting not just for his own life, but for everyone on Earth. REX MATHESON (Mekhi Phifer) He's the golden boy. The embodiment of the American dream and has been all his life. Harvard education, Rex is destined for success and could make a fortune in Wall Street or Hollywood, but he chose the C.I.A. because he believes in justice and will fight for it. He can talk his way into anything, then charm his way out, fast. This may be just what he needs as he joins forces with Jack and Gwen to fight a global mystery behind "Miracle Day" that has them racing from one crisis to another, dodging assassins, blackmail, corruption and conspiracy, from Washington to Wales and the slums of Shanghai.
Gwen once lived the ultimate double life – the funny, salty, earthy woman who loves home and family, combined with the tough, ruthless warrior, who loves the thrill of the fight. She was the heart and soul of an organization called Torchwood. She was a defender of the human race. But now she lives in seclusion, with her devoted husband Rhys and baby Anwen, knowing that one day trouble would come calling again. When events surrounding "Miracle Day" push Gwen to the limit, she'll need to call on resources she never knew she had and make the most terrible decisions, on behalf of all mankind. ESTHER DRUMMOND (Alexa Havins) Esther is an innocent, in a world of assassins, liars and zealots. She got where she is with the C.I.A through diligence and application. Hard work keeps Esther focused but she still dreams of active duty as a field agent serving her country. The dream is going to happen faster than she thinks and in no time at all, Esther finds herself running alongside Jack, Gwen and Rex, living off the grid, gun in hand, fighting a global conspiracy against enemies ranging from big business to the state. It's a tough, brutal, hard lifestyle where survival is hard won and life-changing choices have to be made.
Well-educated and a former school teacher, Oswald's a convicted child killer, both guilty and unrepentant. But when Oswald survives his own execution, he's given a whole new life. The most infamous man in the world, he becomes the most provocative figure in modern media. He's a flare, reviled yet mesmerizing, whose very existence embodies how the world changed on "Miracle Day". (Editors Note: This character was originally named Oswald Jones and framed as a paedophile.) DR. VERA JUAREZ (Arlene Tur) An attending surgeon in Washington D.C., she's smart, fast talking and hard working, Vera is on the frontline of medical care on "Miracle Day". As the world crisis grows, Vera's surgical and ER experience sees her recruited to advise on government think-tanks until she has to make a moral choice of enormous consequence. Sexy, confident and passionate, Vera's life is soon inextricably tangled up with Rex's. | ||

| Posted: 08 Jan 2011 08:23 PM PST Torchwood Series 4 has a new name – no longer "The New World", it is now called Miracle Day. This much we know thanks to a press release on Saturday. And we also know about the UK and US simultaneous June 1st airdate… don't we? Well, no we don't. It seems that the date publicised on the seemingly official Torchwood Facebook page (an entity that while never claiming official status never denied it either) and repeated in various locations online (most prominently the Doctor Who News Page at GallifreyNewsBase) was in fact erroneous, completely made up. Most interestingly, the aforementioned Facebook page (www.facebook.com/bbctorchwood) now no longer exists, no doubt ordered by the BBC to cease and desist (or at lease remove the "bbc" element from its name). And this is the rub, you see – it is very easy to be fooled on the Internet. Fake David Tennants on Twitter and Facebook, fake Billie Pipers (and real ones that never tweeted much in the first place) have made the matter of getting it right all the more important. Some of these impostors even have nefarious, sinister reasons for taking the names of famous people – and in the end you don't know who to trust. While the newsiest of all Doctor Who news pages has been soundly embarrassed by this lack of fact checking they have nevertheless redeemed themselves and presented fandom with the truth, courtesy of BBC Marketing. And the truth is, of course, that it's far too soon to be confirming broadcast schedules for two countries. June 1st is as likely as any other date, although the official BBC Cymru Wales, BBC Worldwide and US premium entertainment network, Starz Entertainment press release specifically stated that the show "will premiere this July." | ||
| Posted: 08 Jan 2011 08:04 PM PST No, they're not the new BBC One news team – instead, former Doctor Who duo David Tennant and Catherine Tate are reuniting to work on a new play, Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing! The Doctor-Donna will appear as reluctant lovers Beatrice and Benedick, whose endless witty sparring threatens to keep them apart forever. Much Ado About Nothing also tells the story of two younger lovers, Claudio and Hero, are to be married imminently despite the devious scheming of a resentful prince. This legendary Shakespeare comedy will be directed by Josie Rourke and opens at Wyndham's Theatre in London's West End on June 1st, following previews from 16th May. Tennant and Tate appeared on BBC Breakfast on Saturday to chat about the play. We'll keep you up to date with more news on this reunion as we get it! (PA) | ||
