Echoes From the Vortex
I’ve been at a loss for a while as to what to properly call this weekly aggregation of News, Rumours, Upcoming Releases, and General Information that I offer you each week. Well, each week that there is enough Whoniverse-related stuff to report on. This week I’m calling it “Echoes from the Vortex,” because everything is an echo in the vortex if you think about it. Right then. Onto the fun stuff.
I’m starting out this week with a link to a knitting project. But first, a picture of the finished product:
Sorry. It’s the best picture of the knitting project that I could find.
Remember those Wrist Warmers that Rose was wearing on the beach at the end of Doomsday? (Yes, the ones pictured above.) Well, Christina Slattery has put together a pattern to help you make some of your own. I’m told that they are pretty easy, but you need to know how to read a pattern. Sadly, I’ve never really learned the knack. I’ve been making scarves for years and I’ve never really moved beyond that. Maybe my Mum could help me… Anyway, if you make some please let me know how it went.
As if John Barrowman wasn’t busy enough, he is set to be the host of a new primetime game show on BBC One called The Kids Are All Right. It pits adults against super smart kids to win prizes. Good luck there, adults. I’m thinking that you have your work cut out for you. The show will be filmed in Glasgow at the end of November. I hope that John has fun being back in the general vicinity of his home town. If you would like to read the Press Release, go here. Want to be on the show? Check out the instructions.
Don’t forget that Doctor Who, David Tennant, and Freema Agyeman are all up for awards in this year’s National TV Awards. The Winners will be announced on 31 October. Less than a week to go.
Pink News is reporting that Russell T. Davies is working on developing a show about gay 40-something men. Mr. Davies really likes to be busy, doesn’t he? The series is untitled at this time, and there is no word yet about what BBC channel it might appear on.
Don’t forget that this year’s Children in Need show will include a scene featuring both the Tenth Doctor and the Fifth Doctor. (It’s a 5 and Dime show?) I’m still doing a happy dance about this.
That’s it for this week. If you run across any breaking news, please let me know.

[...] finally, a bit of news that can’t wait until later in the week. Remember the National TV Awards? Well, it turns out that Doctor Who is still popular. (No big surprise there.) The team won two out [...]
