| The Tom Baker Years on Sci Fi in Australia Posted: 16 Jul 2011 02:10 PM PDT  The Australian Sci Fi Channel is to air Doctor Who episodes from the Tom Baker era, starting with his first story, Robot on 17 August.In 1974 an unknown actor called Tom Baker was cast in the lead role of Doctor Who, and turned an already popular show into a phenomenon. For a generation, the Fourth Doctor is the definite article– warm, witty, clever and sometimes very strange indeed. Clad in his trademark overlong scarf and with a bag of jelly babies to hand, he strode confidently through some of the show's most memorable adventures. Over seven exciting years this Doctor met old adversaries - like the Daleks, Cybermen and Sontarans –with some help from much-loved friends like Sarah Jane Smith, Leela, Romana and the faithful K-9. Schedule for RobotIf you're a fan of the incredible new series of Doctor Who, then this is a great chance to check out where the legend began. If you saw it back in the day then you won't need reminding what awesome fun it was to go travelling with the Fourth Doctor every weeknight. Get on board the TARDIS and have yourself some all-time classic adventures in time and space with Doctor Who: The Tom Baker Years – only on SCI FI! Wednesday, August 17 06:30-06:55 - Episode 1 06:55-07:20 - Episode 2 Thursday, August 18 06:30-06:55 - Episode 3 06:55-07:20 - Episode 4 (times are shown in AEST) A full schedule for the rest of Season 12, including repeats can be found here.

| Posted: 16 Jul 2011 06:30 AM PDT This week's Kasterborous podKast (with a K) sees the return of editor Christian Cawley to the fold as he, Brian Terranova and James McLean discuss the new series of Torchwood, the synopsis of Let's Kill Hitler and a general chat on Doctor Who stories set in World War Two. With Brian as one of Kasterborous' US-based members, we took him to task to discuss the first episode of Miracle Day, The New World; note that spoilers are present, so please listen with care. In addition, we also brooched the question of the Let's Kill Hitler plot synopsis, and extrapolated this into a nice chat about how Doctor Who has so far avoided World War Two on screen outside of The Curse of Fenric, The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances and Victory of the Daleks. With such a rich background with which to set stories against, has this been a mixed opportunity in the past? Remember, you enjoy our podKast via the link above, while the technically minded can subscribe to the RSS feed. Remarkably, we're also listed in iTunes, just like a real podcast!  | ||

| Smith: ‘Doctor Prefers Chess to Sex' Posted: 16 Jul 2011 06:06 AM PDT Matt Smith has revealed that rather than letting the Queen take his Bishop the Doctor would much rather play chess. Smith was asked on fingers down the blackboard of your soul, Alan Carr: Chatty Man, whether the Doctor had ever had a night of passion on board the TARDIS , to which he joked:
Well that and the fact that he's not human which raised the question: does the doctor have a 'universal adaptor' or an anatomical Sonic Screwdriver? The answer to which is: who cares? Anyway Carr found time to ask Smith about the 'resting' of the Daleks and also Matt's wishes for the 50thAnniversary in 2013 where he hopes to see past doctors like David Tennant, Paul McGann and Christopher Eccleston (as if!) pop their heads around the TARDIS door one last time. If you're a glutton for punishment you can view the whole thing on YouTube, or skip to around 27:30 for Matt's appearance.  | ||

| Posted: 16 Jul 2011 03:49 AM PDT Manufacturer: BBC DVD / 2|Entertain Written By: Robert Holmes RRP: &ound;20.42 Release Date: 1st August 2011 Reviewed By: Dale Who for Doctor Who Online Review Posted: 16th July 2011 The Doctor (Tom Baker) lands the ever unreliable TARDIS on Pluto, a dwarf planet on the outermost reaches of our solar system, where he finds it isn't the cold, barren, lifeless rock he was expecting. Someone's been very busy; Pluto now has a breathable atmosphere, it's warm and very humid, and has six suns. It also has an overly efficient taxation system, oppressed work units who live underground, and public executions. Can the Time Lord, Leela (Louise Jameson), and a small robot dog free the people and bring down the sinister Collector and his Internal Retinue? This single disc release from the BBC and 2|Entertain will let you find out... all praise the Company! The Sun Makers is an enjoyably daft romp; a satire on taxation and bureaucracy. Two characters steal the show from start to finish; Leela, as played by fan favourite Louise Jameson, and Henry Woolf's delightfully odious and fiscally-obsessed Collector. Leela has all the best heroic lines - including a beautifully withering put-down of the less than brave rebels - and The Collector has all the best villainous lines, backed up with a characterisation that's hard not to warm to. It's all small fry by Whoniverse standards, and isn't an especially memorable story for plot reasons, but it's diverting and fun. The K-9 prop is so noisy it's untrue, the TARDIS door doesn't want to lock, and The Doctor no longer knows what a jelly baby looks like. Annoyingly, the DVD is let down by a lack of decent extras, with only a few things holding the interest for any length of time; mostly because the rest of the extras are very, very short. Commentary - This time, the commentary boasts both main cast members sitting in as both Tom Baker and Louise Jameson join Michael Keating and The Sun Makers director Pennant Roberts to talk about the story, the production and life during and after Doctor Who. Tom is always great fun to listen to, and teamed up with Louise again, the commentary provided is both entertaining and informative. Running From The Tax Man - Louise Jameson is one of those people you instantly adore. She's very gentle and calm, witty and warm. She's also honest - but in a nice way that doesn't tread on people's toes. She's easily the best reason to watch this retrospective of The Sun Makers, and she reveals why this story above any other is her particular favourite. Also in the mini-documentary discussing the story are Michael Keating, (best known as "Vila" from "Blake's 7"), director Pennant Roberts, and an astronomer and a historian have been drafted in as well, partially to explain about Pluto and it's new status as a dwarf planet rather than a planet. It's an odd extra as it seems to repeat the same information several times, especially when it comes to the astronomy parts; but it's entertaining enough for that. Outtakes - Citizen Cordo's gun fails to go off twice...No, really, that's it. Hardly an interesting or justifiable extra in itself, but would have been better used hidden away as an Easter Egg on the DVD, perhaps. Trailer - The original BBC1 trailer for The Sun Makers. Again, nothing else, just the one trailer. The Doctor's Composer: Part Two - The second and final part of the series on one of Doctor Who's most prolific composers, the fantastic Dudley Simpson. This segment concentrates on his Doctor Who work from the seventies with the man himself talking us through much of his work and utilising many examples of his famous compositions through a wealth of clips. It's a delight to watch, as you try and figure out which music came from what story. A nice piece, with a genuine affection for one of Doctor Who's often unsung but most deserving behind the scenes heroes. This brilliant featurette gives a warm nostalgic glow and it's hard not to be drawn down memory lane for an enjoyably exciting jaunt. Coming Soon Trailer - This one will blow your socks off. The Doctor (Jon Pertwee) and his assistant Jo Grant (Katy Manning) team up with UNIT to help save a peace conference being hosted by Sir Reginald Styles. However, those tinpot terrors The Daleks have other ideas... With new Dalek voices, and a wealth of new special effects and CGI, the Day of the Daleks Special Edition is out in September. With the usual Photo Gallery of production and publicity stills, the Radio Times Listings in PDF format, and Subtitles available for those who might need them, and the usual information text on hand with trivia and viewing figures, The Sun Makers is a worthy enough story, rather badly supported by the extras available on the disc, and it all feels a bit empty as a result.

| Posted: 16 Jul 2011 02:30 AM PDT The Summer of Barrowman is upon us! Torchwood: Miracle Day has blasting out of the blocks along with peek-a-boo this-is-what-you-relatives-thought-you-wanted-to-off-set-your-recent-tragedy wish fulfilling Tonight's the Night, and now the high priest of BBC One has made his feelings know about the possibility of a Torchwood movie. (Hold on, he wants to be in another movie after Shark Attack 3: Megalodon?! – Ed) Previously Eve Myles (Gwen Cooper) had talked about crunching Torchwood's season long thrills into a 90 minute shot of adrenaline and now John Barrowman (Captain Jack) has unsurprisingly told PA:
Digital Spy have already begun speculating on the Macguffin of the potential film – citing a possible full on alien invasion – which seem like the exact opposite of everything the show has done and a bit obvious considering the budgetary constraints on the show have always lent any worldwide extra-terrestrial attack a conspiratorial feel- it seems like an idea born out of money rather than need. So what would you like to see Captain Jack and Gwen (provided they survive Miracle Day) square up to on the big screen? Torchwood: Miracle Day continues this Thursday at 9 pm on BBC One in the UK and Friday at 10 pm on Starz in the US. Series Three of Tonight's the Night continues tonight at 7:10 pm on BBC One  | ||

| Torchwood: US/UK Versions are the Same! Posted: 16 Jul 2011 01:27 AM PDT Bleeding Cool have gotten out a magnifying glass, combed delicately through both the US and UK versions of Torchwood: Miracle Day episode one and can confirm that- apart from screen ratio's – there's no difference between the two. During the furore surrounding exactly when UK viewers would see the return of Captain Jack (John Barrowman) rumours, circulating from Doctor Who Magazine, confirmed that violent scenes would be cut down in the UK and scenes in general in the US would be cut for timekeeping /advertisements. However the only difference between the two this time round was the next time trailers. US viewers got a bog standard preview of the next episode Rendition while UK fans were treated to a jaunt around the entire series- including some man on man action for Captain Jack, policemen complaining about the state of murder these days, and a preview of the Oswald Danes (Bill Pullman) Road Show. Irrespective of what cuts may come: will you be watching both versions to get the full picture or will you be happy with one until a restorative DVD release allows you to watch them unimpeded by conflicting standards?  | ||

| Posted: 15 Jul 2011 08:38 PM PDT Visitors to the special Doctor Who immersive theatre experience, The Crash of the Elysium, got a surprise yesterday when the Doctor himself popped in to see them! A fan of the organisers Punchdrunk since seeing one of their shows in New York, Matt Smith wanted to see the current production based around Doctor Who that has been taking place at the Manchester International Festival this month; normally, videos of the Doctor appear during the show, but producers arranged for him to appear in character yesterday instead of the final video, much to the delight of the 6-12 year old audience. Commenting on the project, he said: Punchdrunk and Doctor Who! A Marriage made in creative space heaven. It's been a privilege to work with Punchdrunk to put children at the heart of a Doctor Who adventure. I've always watched Punchdrunk shows and marvelled at their inventiveness and individuality. Put that together with Doctor Who and there is a wonderful template to tell unique stories in unique ways. The Doctor would definitely approve. The final performance of The Crash of Elysium is today.  | ||
