| Posted: 31 Mar 2008 12:34 PM CDT With the season finale of Torchwood's second series just days away, fan attention is quickly turning to the as-yet unannounced third season - which is said to be vastly different from these first two years. But let's not get into that again... Here's a juicy rumour I heard a couple of months back that has now been confirmed by one of this site's most accurate sources, "I Want to Believe": He/She says... "It's official - Elisabeth Sladen will be appearing in the next series of Torchwood! Yep, the star of The Sarah Jane Adventures is heading to adult television land for the first time, and from what I hear, it's a very... erm... 'juicy' role, too! It's a long story... basically she hooks up with Jack, in a very literal sense, in the next series of Doctor Who - and he invites her back to his Torchwood Cardiff Hub!!" The reason? "Elisabeth and John are just so fantastic together! From the moment they met on set and their characters snog outside the TARDIS, show bosses knew that these characters were DESTINED to be together... They're both so commited to making this relationship work - it's time Jack turned a new leaf, and Sarah too! We all know what she got up to with Harry Sullivan back in the day... Sex & Sarah-Jane? BBC bosses are angry that the writing team didn't see the possibilities there before. " Of course, the original intention was for Freema Agyeman to join the show at some point next series, but that appearence seems to have been thrown right out of the window now: "Freema is a fantastic young actress... a rising star... but sometimes, ya know, a show just needs a hot, single, middle aged MILF to stir things up. Sarah Jane/Elisabeth Sladen fits the bill perfectly - though, around Jack, nobody is single for long!!" So, what exactly will Sladen bring to the show - except MILF status? "Well, her and Gwen have their fallings out. They get up one another's noses - literally. One episode sees the pair reduced in size, and shot up one another's naval passages. There's no real narrative reason for the show to explore human noses - only, the writing team are rapidly running out of taboos to break. It's [s]not going to be pretty!" The final word? "Immortality + menopause = 51st century lovin'! Hooray for Torchwood!!!" "I Want to Believe" reported this story last April 1st. Happy April Fool's, folks.  | ||
| Posted: 31 Mar 2008 12:26 PM CDT As many of you have noticed, the site was down for the most part of the day today. It is back up and going for the time being, and we are hoping it will stay that way. Read more below. The site reported a SQL error. Checking the logs, it is hard to determined exactly what specifically happened other than the SQL database that the site relies on was corrupted. Even after repairing it, we could not get the site back up. One of the tables in the SQL database seemed to have all it... | ||

| Articles: 2007 Round Table - Part 2 Posted: 31 Mar 2008 07:45 AM CDT Welcome back to the Kasterborous Round Table 2007 hosted by Lord Kopic in the dustiest of dusty annexes of Kasterborous Towers! Long overdue for a spring clean, if you ask me… The dust of the shattered statue sparkles in the ghost light of the computer screen as Christian sits back down. We all stare in wonder at the pretty sparkles as the "evidence cookies" start to work their magic on the assembled notables… After a while of staring and occasional mutters of "oooh, pretty" and "step AWAY...  | ||

| Torchwood Ends! Doctor Who Returns! Posted: 31 Mar 2008 02:24 AM CDT I haven't posted any more reviews of individual Torchwood episodes... I kinda lost the impetus and didn't get fired up enough to write anything. What does that tell you? Torchwood has great "moments" but the bits in-between tend to leave one feeling cheated. Go and read Lawrence Miles' blog for an excellent summary so far. I wonder what tricks they can pull out of the hat for the season finale this week that'll make people actually WANT to watch more? As for Doctor Who... Wow! The latest trailers look good, don't they??? Hope the show lives up to the promise. Only a few days away now. Head on over to Kasterborous.com and you'll see yours truly writing a semi-regular news roundup over the coming weeks.  | ||

| Posted: 30 Mar 2008 07:49 PM CDT Behave. Doctor Who showrunner has chatted with The Scotsman about Doctor Who, gay dramas and his admiration for Joss Whedon... you know all the usual stuff, pressure to deliver yadda yadda. What is most interesting (and new) in this interview is Russell's revelation that he once stopped smoking... Distracted by the fact that Davies has been smoking throughout our interview, I find myself asking him for advice on how to give up. "Have you tried patches?" he puffs. "Honestly, I gave up...  | ||
| News: Tennant on Friday Night Project Posted: 30 Mar 2008 07:43 PM CDT David Tennant appeared once more on The Friday Night Project at the weekend, again proving what a good sport he is. The Channel 4 series - sadly often a well of immature humour and requiring no developed sense of humour as a prerequisite for watching - stars the terminally unfunny Alan Carr and medieval throwback Justin Lee Collins, who each week are joined by a guest presenter. Tennant appeared in the role last year, and Billie Piper has also appeared. This year, Tennant returned with...  | ||
