But with most of the original cast killed off within the first 3 series, the rumours have started to churn of who will star alongside the lead actors. In its TV and Radio blog, The Guardian have started the rumour mill with a huge list of American actors that they feel would fit into the show. To name a few: -James Marsters (Spike in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Captain John Hart in Torchwood Series 2) -Eliza Dushku (Faith in Buffy the Vampire Slayer) -Nathan Fillion (Captain Malcolm Reynolds in Firefly) -Seth Green (Scott Evil in Austin Powers) -Dominic Monaghan (Charlie in Lost, Merry in The Lord of the Rings trilogy) -Kiefer Sutherland (Jack Bauer in 24) Not to mention some of the characters that were introduced in Torchwood: Children of Earth… Whilst all these actors would be great if they appeared, the first order should really be to establish who the writers will be. Russell T Davies should definitely pen an episode and maybe even invite some other talented Doctor Who writers to join the fold, namely: Paul Cornell, Stephen Moffat, Gareth Roberts and Mark Gatis. Most of these writers contributed to some gritty stories to The New Adventures range in the 1990's and could no doubt do well without having the family friendly conditions of Doctor Who to write for. Any other suggestions? Leave your suggestions below…  | ||

| Slimline “Wilkie” Dalek Auction Posted: 09 Jun 2010 05:17 AM PDT
The 'Wilkie' Dalek – named after designer Bernard Wilkie, co-founder of the BBC Visual Effects Department – was designed for the Troughton era episodes The Evil of the Daleks and was rumoured to have a narrower skirt in order to travel through ordinary sized doors on the set. In the 70's Wilkie rediscovered his creation in a skip outside Ealing studios. The Dalek, repaired for Exhibition purposes has been on display at the Doctor Who Museum in Blackpool which closed last year. According to Dalek 6388, the 'thin' Dalek is an amalgamation of the Evil skirt and the gun box shoulder section from the redesigned Daleks of the Peter Cushing movies. The item – along with a host of other Doctor Who merchandise both old and new – is expected to raise between £2,000- £3,000. Evil of the Daleks was set to be the final ever appearance of Doctor Who's greatest villains. Writer and Dalek creator Terry Nation was busily trying to sell the concept to American Television and wanted to give them a final send off from the series – only for Producer Innes Lloyd to insert a light globe inside the smouldering ruins of the Emperor Dalek, suggesting that their were still confrontations to come. Sadly, Evil of the Daleks was wiped from the BBC's archives in the early 1970s. Only a telerecording of episode 2 remains, returned to the archive in May 1987 after being found at a car boot sale a few years earlier, A second version with alternative narration was released in 2003. A home movie of the filming of the Dalek battle sequence exists and is included on the DVD of The Tomb of the Cybermen.

What he says is fairly agreeable. Considering that it feels like Barrowman has appeared in nearly every programme on Television in the UK and now seems to be starting to make a similar move in the US with Desperate Housewives and the next season of Torchwood, typecast is an adjective that should be applied to Barrowman the least. You can see how Barrowman performs his latest role, as villain Patrick Logan for American import Desperate Housewives, by tuning in to Channel 4 at 10:35PM tonight. Or, if you live in the US, you can watch his most recent episode here.  | ||

| Paul McGann in "Luther" Posted: 08 Jun 2010 04:29 PM PDT Not sure if you've seen it, but this is kind of crazy and out of control. Idris Elba is phenomenal, as we know, but McGann's character is fantastic too and it's the best he's been in years. Definitely worth your time: http://www.hitfix.com/articles/2010-6-8-bbc-america-s-luther-brings-idri...

So, Torchwood Series 4 has been announced and will hopefully commence filming soon. It's going to be a co-production between BBC Wales, BBC Worldwide and US cable channel Starz (who have just released Spartacus: Blood and Sand). John Barrowman is back as Captain Jack and Eva Myles is returning as Gwen Cooper.
An original narrow-based 'Wilkie' Dalek is to be auctioned at Bonhams of London on the Wednesday, 23rd June.
It has long been known that one of the reasons for Christopher Eccleston's departure from Doctor Who five years ago related to his personal worries of being typecast. 
From Time Lord, to agoraphobic Lawyer and now Vampire Hunter – David Tennant clearly isn't a man to rest on his laurels.
Taking place on Sunday, July 18th as part of our inaugural fringe festival in the Lass (Lassfest), our theme this year is 'six of the best'.
Volume 1 of The Big Finish Companion is set for release later this year, a huge compendium of facts and details about every Big Finish audio range and production to date.| You are subscribed to email updates from Kopic's Dr Who and Torchwood News To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
