I’ve just read that Torchwood has only been commissioned for five episodes for the next series. The normal run for a BBC drama like this is thirteen episodes, so this looks like a massively shortened series.
What the hell?
The last series of Torchwood was possibly the most consistently brilliant Sci-Fi programming I’ve seen in ages, with massive flights of fancy while telling some very touching and human stories. Read more & comment »
It’s not quite as pervy as it sounds, thank the Lord, but David Tennant is rumoured to be dating his on screen daughter, Georgia Moffett.
A friend of Georgia’s told The Mirror: “They have been going out together for a while now but meet up at each other’s houses so as to avoid being spotted by Who fans.
“David can’t really go anywhere without attracting attention and it’s early days, so they don’t want any distractions or fuss made about what’s going on. Read more & comment »
One of this summer’s biggest movies is bound to be the newest X Files movie, ‘I Want To Believe’. It will be amazing to see Mulder and Scully back on the big screen……what would be really great would be if the TV show returned as well.
So here’s the official trailer for the movie. There hasn’t been much information leaked about the storyline etc, but I bet there are aliens involved!
Russell T davies has stepped down as Executive Producer of Doctor Who. He has been at the helm of the show since it relaunched in 2005.
BAFTA and Hugo Award-winning writer Steven Moffat will succeed Russell T Davies as Lead Writer and Executive Producer of the fifth series of the show, which will broadcast on BBC One in 2010.
Moffat has penned some of the series’ most unforgettable and acclaimed episodes, including Blink, with its terrifying weeping angels, for which he was awarded the BAFTA Writer Award 2008 on Sunday 11 May. Read more & comment »
This isn’t the first time the new Doctor Who has encountered a literary legend. We’ve had storylines involving William Shakespeare and Charles Dickens, the latter who got a little nod from Donna Noble tonight - “I mean, that’s like having Charles Dickens, surrounded by ghosts…at Christmas” “Could happen, you know…” retorted The Doctor.
So, understandably, I spent most of tonight’s episode wondering what literary mastermind might be tackled in the next series - Jane Austen? Emily Bronte? Geoffrey Chaucer?
On the distant planet Messaline, in the middle of an endless war, the Doctor meets the most important woman of his life. But as General Cobb threatens genocide, and Martha is kidnapped by the Hath, the Doctor faces an even greater battle — can he find peace with his own child?
