South Wales Evening Post
has Working with Catherine Zeta Jones would be 'dream' says Doctor Who writer, Russell T Davies described the Hollywood Oscar winner from Swansea as vastly underrated, and he has put her at the top of his list of people he would like to work with in the future, linking up with Catherine on a project would be the icing on the cake for the legendary writer, "If I could work with any person in the world it would be Catherine Zeta Jones, Her acting ability is very underrated — perhaps people tend to see her beauty first, Working with her would be a dream come true".....

Review's Roundup...


Media_httpbotisrpgfil_vpens


Bigger On The Inside has “A lord of time. Are there lords in such a small domain?”, in ‘Enlightenment’ we are introduced to the Eternals for the first time. Since then they have had passing mentions in the new series and their mythology has been greatly expanded in the books and audios, incorporating various Doctor Who villains into their family tree....

The Edwardian Adventurer has 078 – The Watcher (The Time Meddler Part 1), there is a tender moment in the opening of the episode. The Doctor and Vicki discuss the departed Ian and Barbara. It serves to remind the casual viewer of the cast change, but also leads to exploring how The Doctor is processing this change. He misses them already, but his fear is that Vicki is only staying with him out of some sense of obligation....

Tea with Morbius has Planet of the Giants, This story fits in to it's era rather oddly. Not only is it the unusual length of three episodes, but it is neither an historical or "science fiction" First Doctor story. It is also, along with The War Machines, the only First Doctor story set on contemporary Earth after An Unearthly Child....

SFX has K-9 series one, volume one – DVD review, few TV series face a backlash before they’ve aired a single episode, but this oddly Australian take on K-9 did. Ten years ago, if you’d told Who fans that there’d be a show dedicated to the metal mutt, most would have been delighted. These days, post-new Who, it arrives unwanted and unofficial, the Never Say Never Again of the Whoniverse....

Spoiler Alert...





Doctor Who Spoilers has A Legion of Cybermen and some casting news for Episode Seven, after a week where Doctor Who filming has been conspicuous by its absence a twitterer reported: "they’ve been filming for Dr Who at work so lots of cybermen around and also got to meet Karen Gillan who plays the Dr’s assistant Amy Pond. What a lovely person, signed autographs and chatted. Didn’t get to meet Arthur Darvill who plays here on screen partner Rory Williams as he was busy with the cybermen", which confirms that the Cybermen will be returning in Episode Seven, there is however no news on whether they themselves have been upgraded.....

They have also posted Is The Doctor going to Cornwall…, and does he take the Earl of Grantham with him?, a Doctor Who fan revealed on twitter that the series would be leaving Wales behind next week and filming in Charlestown, St. Austell.....

Plus
Unmasking the Sontaran, the photograph of a Sontaran at some location filming earlier this month raised the quesion of whether the potato-headed warmongers are returning in episodes 5 and 6 (as might befit a storyline rumoured to involve cloning) or episode 7 (as we thought at the time). The mystery is now solved thanks to the spotlight cv of Dan Starkey who will be returning as Strax in an episode directed by Peter Hoar. So – Sontarans and Cybermen in episode seven? maybe the Doctor hasn’t seen the last of the Pandorica Alliance?...



And wait there's more Return of the Clerics, a picture has emerged from the Episode Seven location filming that took place on 13th January at Uskmouth Power Station, the picture shows three signs, one of which features some pretty terrible spelling and another seems to be an entry sign for an area called “Demons Run”


alun.vega's posterous has Rhossili Bay on a Torchwood day, Rhossili Bay on a normal January day. Close your eyes; what do you hear? The roaring of surf along the three-mile beach. The whistling of wind in your ears. The cry of gulls echoing over the downs, now Rhossili Bay on a Torchwood day; what do you hear? The roaring of jeeps along the three-mile beach. The drone of helicopters in your ears. The crack of pyrotechnics echoing over the downs.....
