The End of the Holiday

Hello. My holiday to Portugal is over at last! It was very difficult to not blog over the past week but at least I'm back... for now. Anyway, here is the news from the past week that I missed to blog:

>  The fifth Adventure Game will be called The Gunpowder Plot

>  The episode written by Tom MacRae (Episode Ten) is called The Girl Who Waited

>  The second episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day, Rendition, was broadcast

>  The broadcast date of Series Six Part Two has been announced for the USA (with the UK date being very soon after, hopefully) and it is the 27th August at 9pm

>  The main villain for Let's Kill Hitler (who is not actually Hitler) is called the Tessalecta (if that's how it's spelt)

>  Doctor Who went to Comic Con and a trailer was released with new, epic clips

>  Karen Gillan has confirmed that Amy Pond will return for Series Seven, but Arthur Darvill has not confirmed that Rory will too

>  Steven Moffat considered making a Madame Vestra/Jenny spin-off

Also, tonight at 9pm is the broadcast for the third episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day, Dead of Night. You can expect a whole load of Who Reviews including the reviews for The New World, Rendition and Dead of Night.

Finally, there are two more competitions opening up and they both have prizes!

The first is a Torchwood competition:

Torchwood: Miracle Day is the new series of Torchwood which involves the whole world becoming immortal. To celebrate the new series, this competition is about the series. All you have to do is answer three simple questions, then email me the answers at timelordeleven@gmail.com with your address so I can send you the prize if you have won. All addresses will be kept confidential and can you please include your name and (if you have one) a Google or Disqus username so I know who you are online. Once you have emailed me your entries, I will email you acknowleging your entry. The questions are below:

1. What is Torchwood an anagram of?

2. What is the name of the twelve year old girl who Oswald Danes murdered?

3. What type of poison was Jack poisoned with in Rendition?

As I said previously, email me the answers, your real name, your username and your address. The closing date is the 4th September 2011. The prize is the Torchwood book, Border Princes in mint condition. It is written byDan Abnett and you can read the blurb below:

The End of the World began on a Thursday night in October just after eight in the evening...
The Amok is driving people out of their minds, turning them into zombies and causing riots in the streets. A solitary diner leaves a Cardiff restaurant, his mission to protect the Principal leading him to a secret base beneath a water tower. Everyone has a headache; there's something in Davey Morgan's shed; and the church of St-Mary-in-the-Dust, demolished in 1840, has reappeared - though it's not due until 2011. Torchwood seem to be out of their depth. What will all this mean for the romance between Torchwood's  newest members?
Captain Jack Harkness has something more to worry about: an alarm, an early warning, given to mankind and held - inert - by Torchwood for 108 years. And now it's flashing. Something is coming. Or something is already here.

The next competition is a Doctor Who competition:

In the middle of the three month gap of Doctor Who Series Six, I have bought and read many of the Doctor Who books including Apollo 23, Paradox Lost and Dead of Winter. This competition involves you, the readers, creating your own monster, alien or villain of any kind. You must describe, in exact detail, your alien: what it looks like, what specialities it has, why it would want to defeat the Doctor and any weaknesses it has. You may include a picture of your monster to complete the creation. As in the Torchwood competition, please email me your entries at timelordeleven@gmail.com with your description, your address, your name and your username. The prize is two Doctor Who books, The Brilliant Book 2011 and Apollo 23, the first Doctor Who book starring the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond. This competition also ends on the 4th September 2011. Good luck!

Update:
Sorry folks, the Brilliant Book is off of the prize list for various reasons too complicated to describe! So now it's just Apollo 23, the first book of Doctor Who for Matt Smith and Amelia Jessica Pond.

Torchwood Miracle Day: The New World Synopsis

Hello. The synopsis for the first episode of Miracle Day has been released by the BBC. You can read it below:
One day, nobody dies. All across the world, nobody dies. And then the next day, and the next, and the next, people keep ageing – they get hurt and sick, but they never die. The result: a population boom, overnight.
With all the extra people, resources are finite. It’s said that in four month’s time, the human race will cease to be viable. But this can’t be a natural event – someone’s got to be behind it. It’s a race against time as CIA agent Rex Matheson investigates a global conspiracy. The answers lie within an old, secret British institute. As Rex keeps asking: “What is Torchwood?”, he’s drawn into a world of adventure, and a threat to change what it means to be human … for ever.
In the launch episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day, Agent Rex Matheson is impaled in a car crash and miraculously survives, while his analyst, Esther Drummond, sets out to discover what Torchwood is.
Far away, in Wales, Gwen Cooper lives in hiding with her husband Rhys and daughter Anwen – she’s the last surviving Torchwood member and is determined to stay hidden.
In Kentucky, convicted murderer Oswald Danes survives his own execution. And when Esther meets the mysterious Captain Jack Harkness, assassins are activated to kill them all…
The New World will broadcast on the 14th July at 9:00 pm. The series will continue for 10 weeks, each episode on a Thursday.

John Fay for Series Seven

Hello. In the last post, Series Seven was confirmed by the showrunner Steven Moffat. Today, John Fay is confirmed to write for Series Seven. Fay has written for Torchwood: Children of Earth and he is writing a few episodes of Miracle Day. In Children of Earth, Fay killed off one of the main characters Ianto Jones. Will he do something similar in Series Seven? We'll just have to wait a year to find out.

What to Watch During the Three Month Break

Hello. As you all know, Doctor Who will not be broadcast for three months and when it returns we will be greeted with Let's Kill Hitler. During those three months, you can expect A LOT of other shows to be broadcast. Some of these shows are to do with Doctor Who and sci-fi  and others are to written by the same writers. Take a look below:
  • Torchwood: Miracle Day
  • Sherlock Series Two
  • Sarah Jane Adventures Series Five
  • Torchwood Radio Plays
  • Jago and Litefoot Series 3
As the Part Two of Series Six has not had a confirmed date to be broadcast, some of these shows may start after Part Two begins for example the last series of the Sarah Jane Adventures. But, these will all be broadcast in the next four of five months.

More information about the Torchwood Radio Plays will be coming soon.

Jago and Litefoot is an audio series which you can purchase or download. They feature Jago, Litefoot and Leela, reunited in four adventures and an extensive behind the scenes documentary.
