Kopic's Doctor Who & Torchwood News

Kopic's Doctor Who & Torchwood News

Nominated? Us? Never!

Posted: 27 Jun 2008 12:21 PM CDT

Yeah, I was kinda surprised... and when I say 'surprised', I mean it! SyfyPortal have announcd the nominations for their annual Genre Awards... and Torchwood.tv is up for the "Best Website" award - alongside Whedonesque.com, Sci-Fi Wire, Supernaturaltv.com and Gateworld. All four of those sites are truly fantastic, and just to be nominated along side them, whoa!

Of course, them being fantastic means them's a-gonna win it!!

Still, nice to be appreciated - and nice to be the underdog!

Torchwood is itself nominated for a number of awards - here's what they are, and who they're up against!

BEST ACTOR/Television
Jensen Ackles, Supernatural
John Barrowman, Torchwood
Edward James Olmos, Battlestar Galactica
Lee Pace, Pushing Daisies
David Tennant, Doctor Who

BEST ACTRESS/Television
Freema Agyeman, Doctor Who
Anna Friel, Pushing Daisies
Mary McDonnell, Battlestar Galactica
Eve Myles, Torchwood
Sophia Myles, Moonlight

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR/Television
James Callis, Battlestar Galactica
Aaron Douglas, Battlestar Galactica
Michael Emerson, Lost
Burn Gorman, Torchwood
Michael Hogan, Battlestar Galactica

BEST EPISODE/Television
Blink, Doctor Who
Exit Wounds, Torchwood
Faith, Battlestar Galactica
The Great Leap Forward, The 4400
He That Believeth In Me, Battlestar Galactica

BEST GUEST STAR/Television
Michelle Forbes, Battlestar Galactica, Razor
Derek Jacobi, Doctor Who, Utopia
James Marsters, Torchwood, Exit Wounds
John Simm, Doctor Who, Sound of Drums
George Takei, Heroes, Four Month Ago

You can vote for the site and for the series itself (if you think either deserve to win!) by clicking here.

In 'proper' news the latest issue of Torchwood the Official Magazine confirms that a CD soundtrack from Torchwood's first two full series (with music arranged by Murray Gold and Ben Foster) will be released later this year.

Doctor Who Online have a preview of the second wave of Torchwood action figures - or more specifically, of Wave 2's "Blowfish" toy. You can see it by clicking here.

Wave 1 of Sci-Fi Collector's new range includes four figures - Captain Jack Harkness, Gwen Cooper, the Cyberwoman and a Weevil. Captain John Hart, Ianto Jones, the Blowfish and one other unannounced figure make up the second wave.

You can view a spoiler-packed preview of Saturday's "The Stolen Earth" by clicking here (the link takes you over to sister site Sarah-Jane.tv - woo, plug!). The cross promotion is worth it... Captain Jack flirts with Sarah Jane!

Have a great one, guys and gals!

News: Tennant Offered 6-Figure Deal

Posted: 27 Jun 2008 05:43 AM CDT

According to a report from the Scots paper The Scotsman (right...), Doctor Who star David Tennant has been offered an impressive &ound;1.3 million to stay in the role. It seems that with Russell T Davies' time onthe show nearing its end, Tennant is also coming to the end of his contract, and so the top BBC chaps are wanting him to stay on for the sake of program continuity. In the old days of Doctor Who, lead actors William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton and Tom Baker each worked with multiple...
