| Posted: 12 Feb 2011 05:57 AM PST It has been some months since we released a new podcast here on Kasterborous – but worry no more as plans are afoot to resurrect our popular series of critical commentaries on Doctor Who, interspersed with some irreverent moments of comedy gold. In advance of a new series of podkast from Kasterborous we've finally joined the new decade and made our podkasts dating back to 2007 available for download via RSS feed. Rather than struggling to find the links to all 8 podkasts via the Kasterborous Doctor Who Forum you can take advantage of this new feature to relive the following classic moments:
…and much more irreverent Doctor Who based humour, alongside the more straight-laced critical discussion of the show. You can subscribe via www.kasterborous.com/category/opinion/podkast/feed – this is but an archive of our previous 8 podkasts but look out for some special additions to the list and a new series from us very soon! | |||||||||
| Interview with Le Doctor Version Française Posted: 12 Feb 2011 05:19 AM PST  The French Doctor Who fansite Beans on Toast have published an exclusive audio interview with David Manet, the former French voice of the Doctor.Entitled "The End of an Era", the Belgian voice artist - who portrayed the Doctor's voice throughout his Ninth and Tenth incarnations - talks candidly about his interpretation of the role, and also of his career in dubbing. In a translated extract below, Manet talks of his best memory of dubbing Doctor Who: What I remember is the pleasure of working on Doctor Who, the surprises that came in the scripts and the quality of this show. I enjoyed working on the series with David [Macaluso, artistic director]. At times, it was exhausting - really - and sometimes it was frustrating because we couldn't quite match the original performance. Because Doctor Who is very British, in the way it is made, its spirit, language and energy. So, as a voice actor, you do get frustrated when you think "this is not quite as good as it could be". In a dub, there's bound to be a big part of betrayal of the original. But what I'll remember the most is what a pleasure it has been. I regret that I could not continue to dub Doctor Who, even if I think Marc [Weiss, voice of the Eleventh Doctor] is doing an excellent job, but I'd have continued - very gladly - for one more year of Doctor Who! The full interview was recorded in Belgium on the 1st February, and is available to listen to in French from the Beans on Toast website, alongside photos of Manet receiving some special gifts to thank him for his work at the end of the interview. You can also read an interview with the actor from 2009 on site here. | |||||||||

| Torchwood: Week Four/Five Filming (US) Posted: 12 Feb 2011 01:17 AM PST   The fortnight saw more of the cast assembled to play their parts, with scenes featuring Bill Pullman (Oswald Danes), Dichen Lachman, Lauren Ambrose (Jilly Kitzinger), Arlene Tur (Dr. Vera Juarez), Alexa Havins (Esther Drummond), Daryl Crittenden, and Rachel Leah Cohen (Laurie). Having finished their UK scenes, Mekhi Phifer returned to the States on Wednesday 2nd, with John Barrowman flying back on Thursday. By the following Thursday (10th), the BBC Production Office had reported: "EVERYONE IS BACK IN LA! The UK shoot was outstanding. What honor to collaborate with the original TW Crew." Filming during the two weeks saw much activity on set at the Warner Bros Studios, though the production did venture out to a number of locations, with a return to Los Angeles City Hall, filming at the Title Insurance & Trust Company Building, the Golden Gopher bar, and an 'alleyway' Frank Court for location work. The crew also 'checked into' a 'seedy' motel for other scenes! The US version of the on-location base signs has now been spotted at filming - a completely different design to the 'traditional' UK "BM" style! Times cited within the reports are in Los Angeles local time. Monday 31st January - Wednesday 2nd FebruaryMonday saw prep-work get started for episode three of Miracle Day, with the crew re-assembling after a week or so off thanks to concentrated action in the UK. Not that everybody was happy with the thought of more early mornings!11:09 ST Back home and back to Torchwood Tuesday saw day one of filming begin, though you'd think the chairs were the stars judging by the crew! 07:11 JE We've got sweet chair backs at Torchwood!
Meanwhile, Bill Pullman was on set today, impressing everybody with his acting! 14:05 AS Dear Mr. Pullman, how do u act so creepy when u are actually a Another early morning on Wednesday, with Shawna Trcpic finding herself around 6:00am back on the stage where she worked on Doctor Horrible and Angel, a set she termed "The evil league of evil :-)"
The day also saw costume fitting for both Lauren Ambrose and Rachel Leah Cohen, whilst Mekhi Phifer was on a flight back to L.A. alongside Russell T Davies (both of whom had been on location the previous evening). As the Production Office noted: 09:31 BBC RTD and Mekhi are on a plane back to LA! Not going to lie, Thursday 3rd FebruaryThe Torchwood production hits the streets once more, returning to Los Angeles City Hall, with a day shoot running from 7:00am to 10:00pm; documentation revealed they are filming under the name Bad Wolf Productions LLC! (See our previous article for more details).The Production Team indicated that today was the first day that Lauren Ambrose (Jilly Kitzinger) would be on set with Arlene Tur (Dr. Vera Juarez). Shawna Trpcic reported that she wouldn't be able to reveal details on costumes like Jack's new coat until after the press photos are released (they were taken in the UK the previous Friday), though she did clarify that the lining of the coat was rayon in order to accomodate the heat in California! Made another trip to an on location filming of Torchwood. Again they were at City Hall in Downtown Los Angeles which is SUCH a great location; the building and the city are really beautiful. Today wasn't quite as eventful as my last trip out, but of course anything Torchwood has me excited! So here's the rundown. Last week I got a message from a friend saying he heard they were filming this time and location. And the details of the filming were HILARIOUS. It said: "Bad Wolf filming in L.A. Thursday, Feb 3, 2011 Bad Wolf Productions" Ha, Bad Wolf, that's amazing. Of course he saw this and knew it was Torchwood, especially since it was at the same location as last time. I was actually considering not going because I didn't have anyone to go with but this morning my friend Jenni said that she and her husband Jeff could come. I jumped at the chance and we were off! When we got there we saw the set up shown in the picture. And that was pretty much our view the rest of the night. The only recognizable cast member on set was Lauren Ambrose who is playing "PR guru" Jilly Kitzinger. Let me tell you guys, she is GORGEOUS in person, her hair, her wardrobe was adorable, I bet this is gonna turn into a cosplay look. Heck maybe I'll grab a wig and try it sometime. Good on her being so pretty and well done to costume, hair and makeup, just aces. The scenes filmed outside were rather uneventful. Mostly just walking and talking with some woman, couldn't tell you more if I wanted to. That being said, we had fun it was great being on the set none-the-less. They also spent about 2 hours filming inside the building which we couldn't watch so it's POSSIBLE other cast members were there, but we didn't see if they were. Also, we got shushed at one point, from across the street! I think maybe we were having too much fun, but can you blame us? It's Torchwood!
(with thanks to Dana Shukartsi from Barrowman Day - read her full blog entry on-site) Friday 4th FebruaryToday's filming took place at a motel, somewhere in the Los Angeles county area, as Alana Stone teased, "So tell me... Where r we shooting today?"The night shoot involved Lauren Ambrose and Bill Pullman, plus another character played by Daryl Crittenden (Heroes, Days of Our Lives). On-set gossip included: 16:03 DC on Torchwood today.... going to be a BLAST! Monday 7th February - Wednesday 9th February I've got straight hair! Photo: Rachel Leah Cohen (via Twitpic)  My Trailer Photo: Rachel Leah Cohen (via Twitpic) 10:20 AS back to school... and work... Tuesday continued with more intrigue happenings on-set: 13:04 JE Oh my! Sexy happenings on the Torchwood set today And finally on Wednesday it seems a wrap for Rachel, at least for now, whilst the cast and crew hit the streets once more for the following day ... 20:45 RLC Had a blast. Great cast and crew! | |||||||||
