More like talking about the program than a trailer, this segment has some behind-the-scenes footage as well as some clips from the show, and a whole lot of the cast and creator going OMG!!! Despite the fact this came by way of Spoiler TV, it is not so much spoiler-ish as self promoting. I am so ready for the new season, and can’t wait to see if they do as amazingly as they did on Children of Earth. Thanks to Blaster for the heads up on this.
I just watched this at Sci-Fi Mafia, who got it from Empire Online, and it gave me a serious smile and a bit of a tear. They asked each of the primary actors in Harry Potter to sum up their 10 year experience of making the movies in one word. This was the result. You will also find a tasty Alan Rickman quote about it all at Sci-Fi Mafia, and some more cast videos at Empire Online, so be sure to stop by.
Posted on the 17th, not that new perhaps, but it looks like this is going to be a fun ride. And Jack Harkness blends right in for this one.
Every year on May 25th we celebrate Towel Day, taking a towel with us everywhere we go all day long. This is of course in honor of the brilliant author Douglas Adams, creator of the radio play that grew up to be the five books of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy trilogy. It then went on to become a computer game, a TV series, and a movie, among other things; and that was only one of the works created by Doug. Another began as a book, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, then became a radio play, and finally turned into a TV show. Wear your towel with pride; I had DON’T PANIC printed on mine.
Season 5 of Primeval kicks off on Watch on this Tuesday, the 24th, but I can not find a start date on BBC America. Watch is digital satellite channel 109, but the UK satellite is too low in the sky from the US to be able to lock a dish on to it (as in, below the horizon).
BBC Radio 4 is replaying the three Torchwood episodes that preceded Children of Earth this week in their Afternoon Play segment. That means that on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at 14:15 GMT (that’s 2:15PM London time) you can listen to them in real time, and probably play them back for the 6 days after that. Note that this is on BBC Radio 4 proper, rather than BBC Radio 4 Extra (formerly BBC Radio 7). Over on that channel we have Arthur C Clarke’s Rendezvous with Rama on Sunday, and another brand new Doctor Who story, The Whispering Forest, with Tegan, Nyssa, and Turlough joining Davison’s Doctor. That one started yesterday, but you have 5 more days to listen to the first episode, with the story continuing Monday.
