BBC To Give Up Torchwood?

Posted: 27 Jun 2011 09:00 AM PDT

Media Savvy Torchwood creator Russell T Davies has recently spoken out in an interview with The Guardian, promoting the new series of Torchwood, regarding the budget cuts that the BBC had recently been facing and the ramifications that that has on its flagship shows.

Torchwood has recently become a BBC co-production with US channel Starz, the end result being that the show gets more money injected into it and a larger audience as well. But what does that mean for the future of the show if another series is commissioned? Davies himself is the first to admit that he's not quite sure:

"The very interesting thing will be what if it does well on Starz but doesn't do well on BBC1? Or if the BBC1 money is tight and they have to take money away – does it become entirely a Starz production, which means they have to own the rights? Would the BBC do that?"

And with the change of scene that has taken place within Torchwood itself, the writer wonders how viewers in England will take the difference in tone:

"I watched it sometimes myself and some – well a lot – of the scenes were just the Americans without a single English or Welsh note, and you think, how's that going to play out on BBC1?"

But as the writer points out, several television shows have been made this way for years and British audiences are certainly not unfamiliar with all American shows transmitting through their screens (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The West Wing, 24, Lost and Glee to name but a few!) and as long as the writing is strong and the acting is believable, this shouldn't be a problem for a show as adaptable as Torchwood.

Now that's it's been a good few years since Russell's era of Doctor Who ended, does the writer ever miss being involved with the show? In typical style, he deals with the question in a straight up manner:

"I don't, because I did it so often…I don't miss anything. I don't miss Queer as Folk. Once you've done something, you just move on. You miss them, I love what I did. But that's not missing it, is it really?"

Finally, being asked about the Eleventh Doctor, Russell is, as always, full of praise and glee for Matt Smith and his take on the Time Lord:

"Oh I love him. He's limitless, isn't he?"

Comic Artists – There's Still Time!

Posted: 27 Jun 2011 08:15 AM PDT

You might recall that a little over a month ago we announced that we're looking for a lucky-but-unpublished artistic soul to take command of a new one-off comic story following the mega-success of our 2009 Time Leech trilogy.

The response from our readers has been so overwhelmingly successful that our mates up in the Kasterborous Towers Space Station, who once orbited Gallifrey, are now revolving around a mind-bogglingly massive floating conglomeration of art that has easily swallowed up the planet… or was that the Time War?  Either way, here's an appreciative tip of our Stetsons to all who have contributed to the Ghost Train Nebula thus far; it's not a stretch to say that our judges are going to have a very difficult time picking just one of you, HOWEVER…

It ain't over yet.

This post is not a referee declaring the end of phase one, but rather a two-minute (or should we say, one-week) warning.  We'll be wrapping up the first part of our competition this Sunday evening, so if you have any inclination at all of having your work featured right here on Kasterborous, get your entry in by then!

What we want from you is an…

  • Initial submission – a sample of your work, Doctor Who related or otherwise.  If we like it, we will ask you to illustrate a…
  • Single page from the script – and if this is what we're looking for, you will be invited to illustrate the…
  • Final strip!

Here's the people who'll be analyzing your work:

  • Christian Cawley, co-founder and editor of Kasterborous and writer of the Ghost Train script, which you'll be translating into visuals if you win
  • Brian A. Terranova, associate editor of Kasterborous
  • Anthony Dry, Kasterborous co-founder, designer, and all around brilliant artist, whose work you may have seen if you own a copy of Ultimate Regeneration or one of the new series DVD box sets
  • Gareth Kavanagh, editor of the high-quality Doctor Who fanzine Vworp Vworp
  • Somebody Else, a mysterious, unannounced, and impressive individual who may or may not know who he or she is

While there's no money involved in this project, Kasterborous seems to have a bit of a track record with helping artists cross over from the void of relative obscurity to the world of in-demand Whoniverse designers.  Just ask the aforementioned Anthony Dry or our first Time Leech artist Justin Abbot – if you can catch them while they're not busy, that is!

Send your entries to comics@kasterborous.com – we look forward to hearing from you!

The Starz Savings and Loan Scheme

Posted: 26 Jun 2011 06:07 PM PDT

Have you had a spectacular explosion on TV and now can't afford to pay the rest of your bills? Are your grips planning to run an electrical current through your Mercedes unless you pay them what they're owed? Have the caters run out of moss and dust to feed the unsatisfied crew?

With debt- the outlook can sometimes feel bleak- nobody understands the strain your under while you genuinely entertain the idea of making next seasons antagonist a jiffy bag of sentient paper clips- just to make ends meet.

In these tough times- where budgetary constraints have resulted in less buck and more of a slight fizzle than a huge bang- it makes sense to spread the cost of your Torchwood into one consolidated American cash settlement- and here at Starz Savings and Loans were always happy to help.

When Mr R T Davies approached us he was looking for away to make a big global thriller but not loose the shirt off his back.

Thanks to our consolidation plan- he's got his wish and couldn't wait to tell the BBC:

"In a time when budgets are tight, it's great to have an infusion of cash from America that we can have fun with – and do some big brave stuff with."

To think that before we set up an account for him he was contemplating shooting Torchwood in Mexico with an all puppet cast.

When Mrs J Gardner sat down with one of our advisors she comforted to hear that she would have total control over just where her show was heading:

"The joy of it wasn't that we sold the format to the Americans and then waved goodbye to it. Of course budgets are shrinking, but it was about working smart. In pooling the money we got a bigger show for a better price."

You too can make your dramatic dreams a celluloid reality if you choose to consolidate your budget issues with The Starz Savings and Loans scheme!
