Kopic's Doctor Who & Torchwood News |
| Posted: 09 May 2008 05:13 PM CDT I'm disappointed to see that the BBC is being a little over zealous in protecting their trademarks when they ask to removes a Doctor Who fan's knitting patterns from the Web. It's this sort of fan activity that kept Doctor Who alive for the period of time between 1989 and 2005 -- and it was this sort of fan activity that encouraged people like Paul Cornell, Mark Gatiss, Gary Russell, and lots of other people that have now worked on the new television series. I'm sure it's some over enthusiastic person somewhere in the BBC -- and I certainly respect that the BBC needs to protect their property -- but I think there should be a way for people to celebrate their love for the show in creative ways -- and to share that amongst other fans. Very sad to see. [found from Boing Boing]  | ||

| Posted: 09 May 2008 06:37 AM CDT THE ORIGINAL BIG FINISH AUDIO RANGE RETURNS WITH THE RELEASE OF FOUR NEW AUDIO DRAMAS ON CD Intrepid space archaeologist, Bernice Summerfield, played by Lisa Bowerman, returns for four new audio adventures this Summer. Plus a new collection of three novellas is due to be published at the end of the year. 'After the seminal events of last season, Bernice's adventures have taken a new turn – which makes this an ideal jumping-on point for new listeners,' says new range producer, Eddie Robson. 'The connections between plays are a little looser this time around, but every one is still important to Bernice's ongoing story. This year her son Peter emerges as a character in his own right, and much of this season is about their relationship. It's always been rather stop-start because of Bernice's eventful life – now they're suddenly thrown together.' Robson's season opener Beyond the Sea deals with Bernice and Peter's new situation, as they adjust to no longer having the support network of their old friends at the Braxiatel Collection. Bernice is living the itinerant lifestyle of a freelance archaeologist and facing up to the dangers Peter is exposed to simply by being with her – which, in this story, are quite considerable. Peter takes centre stage in The Adolescence of Time by Lawrence Miles, well known to Doctor Who fans for his novels and the Faction Paradox audio and book series. This is his first Bernice Summerfield story in more than ten years, following his 1997 New Adventure Down – and it explores similar ground to that novel, as Peter is thrown back in time to a prehistoric Earth. The planet's intelligent reptiles face extinction: can Peter help the winged ones to survive? This play guest-stars Lois Baxter, who played Madame Lamia in the Doctor Who story The Androids of Tara. It's Bernice's turn to be stranded in Earth's history in The Adventure of the Diogenes Damsel, when she is transported to 1890s London. There, she finds a friend in the form of Mycroft Holmes (played by special guest star David Warner), whose more famous brother she met some years ago. As they search for a means of returning Bernice to her own time – and her son – they become embroiled in a series of strange murders. What do they have to do with the mysterious businessman, Lord Straxus? This story, by Jim Smith (Kaldor City), also features Peter Miles (the Doctor Who stories The Silurians, Invasion of the Dinosaurs and Genesis of the Daleks) as Straxus. The final play of the season, The Diet of Worms, is by cultural historian Matthew Sweet, and sees Bernice applying for a new permanent job at a vast depository of the papers of notable historical figures such as Charles Darwin, Martin Luther, Wilkie Collins and Barbara Cartland. Unfortunately, by the time she gets there the post has already been abolished – but she could be right on time to discover just what is eating its way through these irreplaceable manuscripts. 'These stories are varied, unusual, and witty in the Bernice Summerfield tradition,' says Robson. 'After ten years of Big Finish audios, the character is as strong and distinctive as ever.' Each of the new Bernice Summerfield audio dramas is now available to pre-order from Big Finish, priced just £10.99. Or you can order all four at the discount price of £35.00. If all four CDs plus the book of novellas (available separately for £14.99) it will cost just £40.  | ||

And following the result of an inquiry into the practices of ITV phone voting, the Geordie duo have returned the award. There is as yet no news as to whether Tate, whose The Catherine Tate Show had in fact received more votes, than Saturday Night Takeaway will receive the award, or if she even wants it. It is...  | ||

| Posted: 08 May 2008 08:20 PM CDT I've been getting up really early this week because the Summery weather outside has been so delightful. As long time readers may know, I get a bit mad and feral in Summer, and end up staying up all night, keeping my sandals on in the house, and washing my hair in the sink. I once returned from a day at the cricket with half my face tanned and half sunblocked, with a straggly beard, looking like  | ||
