News of the Who

For those of you who have been waiting for it, Torchwood series 1 and 2 are now available on iTunes in the US. Buy at will!

Flat Holm, the island featured in the Torchwood episode “Adrift,” is turning into a tourist destination. I wonder if they will ever actually go to Scotland and see Torchwood 2. It would spread the tourist love around even more.

I get the About.com Ancient History newsletter, and guess what I noticed in the most recent one? Doctor Who! N.S. Gill mentions the upcoming (in the US) episode - The Fires of Pompeii and points out that, “Not only does Doctor Who make reference to classical themes, but so do its spin-offs, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures.” It’s always cool to find another fan.

David Tennant and John Barrowman have been asked by the National Trust for Scotland to spend a “Perfect Day” exploring the Highlands to help them launch the Perfect Day website. At least, according to the Daily Record. Now that sounds cool. If only I could then win a trip to the Highlands…

Doctor Who won six awards at the BAFTA Cymru Awards! They took home - “Best Drama Series (Phil Collinson, for Voyage of the Damned), Best Screenwriter (Steven Moffat, for Blink), Best Sound (BBC Wales Sound team), Best Director, Drama (James Strong for Voyage of the Damned), Best Director of Photography (Ernie Vincze for Voyage of the Damned), and Best Make-Up (Barbara Southcott and Neill Gorton at Millennium FX for The Shakespeare Code).” Further, Torchwood received the Best Costume award for the episode Captain Jack Harkness.

Rumor Alert!

Will Christopher Eccleston star in a new version of The Prisoner? (It seems to me that this is the second time around for this rumor.)

Is Billie Piper pregnant? (The story goes like this: Billie and her Husband were on vacation, being photographed all the while by stalker photographers, and while they were on the beach Billie patted her belly. Now, everyone seems to think that she’s pregnant. Quite a lot of hoopla for a belly pat.)
