Kopic's Doctor Who & Torchwood News

News: Who Goes There?

Posted: 15 Sep 2008 04:52 PM CDT

Written by Nick Griffiths, Who Goes There is the must have book for all Doctor Who fans eager to drop in on the locations that made alien worlds and ancient and future history. A feature on Wales Online carries a few words by the author, but despite his credentials, he can't be that much of a fan - after all: “I once had the original Hand of Fear prop from the original series but my son dropped it and all the fingers fell off” Like you would let that happen. However I...

News: BBC Says No McGann

Posted: 15 Sep 2008 09:28 AM CDT

The BBC has refuted allegations that former Doctor Who star Paul McGann is set to make a return in on of the 2009 specials.

A spokeswoman for Doctor Who told Digital Spy: "There is no truth to the story at all." Evidently, the Sun - the source of the "news" - had been trawling the Doctor Who...

News: Tennant to stay for movie?

Posted: 14 Sep 2008 08:37 PM CDT

The Doctor Who Movie rumour continues to roll, with Catherine Zeta Jones mentioned as a companion by Russell T Davies - but no mention of scripts, directors or distributors just yet, so don't get carried away. A certain tabloid meanwhile have reported that David Tennant wants to remain in the role for his fourth full series, as well as tie himself to any movie that might be made within that time frame. An interesting carrot to dangle his way, wouldn't you say? The insider (there can be only...
