April 10th is when Dwarf returns with the Dave TV special; I am ready! And a Video Blogger tip…
A fan favorite for years, K-9 returns in his very own spin-off. The tin dog first appeared in 1977, on BBC’s Doctor Who, and more recently on the Sarah Jane Adventures. Slated for a half hour program for 26 episodes, K-9 gets a whole new look for the new show.
In April we will have the first new Red Dwarf in many years, and Dave TV has now posted the schedule. They are running the three new episodes one each night of Easter weekend, along with a selection of the best classic episodes and a behind-the-scenes special. SFX is in the middle of it, running 50 copies only with a special Red Dwarf cover that will be featured in the show. To find one, you need to hunt the newsstands in the UK. The DVD will be released on DVD on June 15th in England, but I have not found a US release date yet.
I enjoyed what Family Guy did with Star Wars, as well as the Robot Chicken Star Wars Special, and now Family Guy is at it again. This time around, they are shooting for TNG: Not All Dogs Go to Heaven, which will air on the 29th of March. The fun part is they pulled in the entire original cast for the party, and Wil blogged about it, so you can get a behind-the-scenes feel for the session.
That is the accusation; the nation of Zimbabwe may be hoarding the entire run of William Hartnell episodes. If so, that would include a bunch of episodes lost since the early sixties, including The Tenth Planet, the first time a Doctor regenerated (Hartnell into Troughton), as well as the first story ever to feature the Cybermen. The story originally came from the Sun in the UK. Of course, this is the same magazine that took a recent entry from Google Oceans and gave it the headline Is This Atlantis?, but in their defense they also broke the news that the Doctor Who Stage Show will be going on tour soon. Already on stage is Who, Knows, the new Tasmanian play about (and tribute to) Doctor Who. The John Barrowman comic strip of a Torchwood story I mentioned the other day is going to be released soon, but while you wait you can read another Torchwood comic now online at Watch. And a brief flash of the original Cybermen:
The trailer for the new abbreviated Torchwood season was aired at Comicon the other weekend, and is now all over the net. John Barrowman and his sister have put together a story for Captain Jack… and it’s also a comic book, coming out soon.
