New Torchwood: Characters, Actors and the Miracle Day
This post has details of the new cast at Torchwood. It contains minor spoilers and if you’re allergic to those then you should read something else on Geek Native. Photos are of the actors rather than the characters but the text is based on the official press release from the BBC. Sadly, the BBC PR […]
Craig Ferguson explains Doctor Who to Americans through song and dance
Comedian Craig Ferguson makes a jolly good attempt at explaining Doctor Who to his American audience. The video features a brief cameo from a certain Doctor Who actor himself. Just for fellow Brits – Craig Ferguson escaped UK TV, went to America and now hosts “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson“, has won lots […]
Watch NBC’s The Cape today – that’s before it airs on TV
NBC’s new hero show The Cape will premiere today – but here’s the catch. It won’t premiere on TV. To get it yo need DC Comic‘s free iPad app (AppStore link). Yup. You need an iPad. This is clearly a DC Comics enabled project but it’s pretty good of NBC to play along. The assumption […]
Doctor Who: 10th Doctor engaged to the daughter of the 5th Doctor
You may well recall Georgia Moffett from the Doctor Who episode called The Doctors Daughter. She was an artificially recreated solider based on the Doctor’s DNA. She was made famous for the line “I like the running” possibly because much of her audience also liked it when she ran down the corridors of the spaceship. […]

Project Ninja will be an anime MMO. […]

There’s a new asdfmovie
There’s a new asdfmovie. It’s asdfmovie3 and is therefore a second attempt to match the hugely popular asdfmovie which has had nearly 8 million views in the 2 years it has been live. It’s best described as a clip show of short gags but there’s a homage or two to jokes from the previous “movies”. If you’ve […]
Fringe Firefly mashup to support the show
I’m a great big Fringe fan and I worry the American network will take it away from me. There’s a real risk. They keep on messing with the schedule, which always impacts audience numbers and then the networks point out audience numbers aren’t what they should be. When Fringe returns to American TV it has […]
Doctor Who series six – the American promo
Comedy is the watch word here as the Doctor and Amy Pond star in this trailer for season six. The Doctor’s ability to fly the Tardis is certainly worthy of debate. Has he got a lot better at it recently? In Christmas Carol he certainly seemed to be showing control that some incarnations would have […]
