It may be one of those times when you can expect a surprise, as the BBC does have an excellent eye on the actor options.

Wizards vs Aliens

January 24, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Doctor Who writers Russell T. Davies and Phil Ford are teaming up to write “Wizards versus Aliens Aliens vs Wizards” for CBBC. That’s the Children’s channel on BBC. The show is being backed by FremantleMedia Enterprises with the goal of taking the 12-part series international. Aliens vs Wizards pits Tom Clarke, a young wizard, against an […]

David Tennant and the Doctor Who cast in “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)”

October 30, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

This is all kinds of cool. We have David Tennant showing his fun side as his series of Doctor Who wraps up. We have dancing adipose looking very cute. We have dancing Ood looking very strange. We have dancing Catherine Tate, dancing Elisabeth Sladen, dancing John Barrowman, dancing Bernard Cribbins, Freema Agyeman, Noel Clarke, Billie […]

BBC surrenders Doctor Who spin-off franchise to Starz

March 23, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m pleased that Starz picked up Torchwood. I watched the show simply because it was the Doctor Who spin-off franchise. I watched Children of Earth because it was horrible, good and horribly good. Torchwood, as the BBC had it, was doomed by the time Children of Earth had finished though. It’s certainly true that the […]

Photographs from the set of Torchwood

February 2, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We’ve got quite a lot of information on the new Torchwood. The first episode is Miracle Day and we’ve even got a list of actors and characters (spoilers). Thanks to Who-watcher Alun Vega we also get photographs from the Cardiff set now and then. Check out Barrowman as Captain Jack and our favourite friendly PC […]

Torchwood: The New World

August 9, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The BBC and Starz will be working together on the next series of Torchwood. For many it might be the first series of Torchwood they’ve ever seen. This is the series of Torchwood that has to follow Children of Earth. It won’t be easy. In order to get traction in America we can expect – […]

Torchwood turns dark; stays dark

July 26, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There was a world of difference between the first Torchwood series and the Children of Earth mini-series. In some ways it was almost a set up; you were led to believe that Torchwood was this silly romp that was ‘adult’ only because of its sexual references. Then they hit us with Children of Earth. In […]

Are the rumours true: Johnny Depp to play Doctor Who?

July 1, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 4 Comments

There are rumours today that Johnny Depp may play The Doctor in a Russell T Davies penned Doctor Who movie for the American market. It’s certainly due that both Russel T Davies and producer Julie Gardener left the the series to work on projects for BBC America. In fact; they’re both believed to be in […]

BBC’s “Doctor Who Greatest Moments” snubs original Doctors

January 6, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

This might be an over reaction. It might be – but it really rubs me the wrong way. After The End of Time part 2 had played on UK TV the BBC ran a series of follow up shows including Doctor Who confidential. One of these shows was “Doctor Who Greatest Moments”. Great! I thought. […]
