Torchwood set for 'Big Bang' day

A special radio episode of sci-fi drama Torchwood is to be broadcast as part of BBC Radio 4's Big Bang experiment.

The 10 September event will see scientists recreate the aftermath of the Big Bang at the European nuclear research facility in Geneva.

Presenter Andrew Marr will report on the experiment for Radio 4 which has exclusive access throughout the day.

The episode of Torchwood will be set inside the European Organisation for Nuclear Reasearch (CERN).

As part of the day's broadcast, the show's star John Barrowman will join Ben Miller and Alan Alda on a panel of celebrities who are fans of particle physics.

The Big Bang will be recreated by the largest atom smasher in the world.

Scientists are hoping it will give them an insight into the origins of the universe and its composition.

The experiment will be launched live on the Today programme.

SJA Scary???

Alexander Armstrong has praised the 'scary' storytelling on CBBC show The Sarah Jane Adventures.

Speaking to Doctor Who Magazine ahead of the second season's launch, the voice of Sarah Jane's computer Mr. Smith said: "I hope this starts a new era of really innovative children's programming, because the bar has now been set incredibly high. It's storytelling that doesn't mess about."

Armstrong, who also voiced Mr. Smith in the fourth season Doctor Who finale, added: "Kids have to deal with some harsh things in the show, but life is dangerous and a little bit scary. Kids love to be scared, don't they?"

Doctor Who Exhibit......

For all of you that are like me and can not see the Brilliant Doctor Who Exhibit in Earls Court, London UK in person. Here are a few videos of the exhibition. I myself am so upset that I can not personally see it, but I guess this is better then nothing. It is only at Earls Court until September 18, 2008. So if you are lucky enough to see it, hurry up before it is gone!!!

Here is a link to a video that was really good quality to see the exhibit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUsutQ4C4KY

SJA Ep Spoilers.........

Episodes 9 and 10:

PLOT:The episodes revolve around Sarah Jane and Luke being somehow taken back in time to the 1950's, to Foxglove Village - at a time when the local fete is taking place. What's unusual about all this?! Sarah's parents are there too, as is a likkle baby Sarah Jane Smith! Trouble is, grown up Sarah doesn't remember momma (Barbara) or her papa - they died in a car accident when she was still a baby. Can Sarah do what it takes to prevent herself from becoming an orphan, by changing the course of history?!









**** I have to say so far from what I am hearing and seeing of the Sarah Jane Adventures, it looks to be that this season is going to be even better then last season!!! Not only is it a great show for young children but it is a great show for adults as well!!!

Doctor Who Ice Cube Tray!!!

I am so wanting these...lol

For the biggest Doctor Who fans, there is just not enough time in the day to immerse yourself in the fictional world. Thanks to these Doctor Who Ice Cube Trays, we can even involve the series into our meals and boozing.

The Doctor Who Ice Cube Tray comes with a nice collection of Doctor Who-themed molds for our icing pleasure. The Dalek, the Tardis, K9, a Cyberman, and even the Doctor Who logo. They’re all here. All you have to due is load them with water and pop them in the freezer. Chemistry will do the rest.

The full collection of molds will only set you back £5.99, which isn’t too bad for such a fine collection of ice molding gadgets. The glory of science fiction rests in our minds. Even if the story continues in our glass of cola, the story indeed continues.

UK VS. US Versions.....

VS.

OK I live here in the US, but pretty much everything that is on my TV is all UK shows like Monty Python, LoveJoy, Absolutely Fabulous, Campion, Coupling I am getting into...lol as well as many other tv shows and many many movies from the BBC, Hell my fav Dracula of all time is the BBC 1977 version staring Louis Jourdan. (I have been told many times I was born in the wrong country...lol) but never mind that getting off the subject here lol. I grew up watching Doctor Who since I can remember, I am a HUGE FAN!!! I watch Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Sarah Jane Adventures straight from the UK before it is even aired over here and I have to say that I am so glad that I do! I have been watching them as well over here when they are aired on SCI-FI and I have to say, talk about jipping the US fans!!! The Sci-fi network cuts Doctor Who into Pieces over here.... They skip scenes and parts of the show and I think that is bollocks!!! But, it is not just the sci-fi network that cheats the US fans, BBC America does the same thing! Not just with the Doctor Who episodes that they air (although they are way behind...lol) but also with the Torchwood episodes!!! Now I think that it is complete BULL!!!

There are so , so , so many fans here in the US that I really do not think the BBC and DW creators realize. I do not want to bad mouth BBC or the DW creators at all!!! I love and cherish many BBC shows even beyond DW etc. and if it was not for the Creators bringing back DW we would all be bored out of our minds still wishing they would bring it back...lol But what I am saying however is that I feel that we should get the entirety of the episodes as well. Also how about making it a bit easier to get DW merchandise ???!!! I have 4 kids that are being brought up on not only the new series but the classic series as well just like how I was! There are so many things that they would like and even stuff I would love to get as well but it is hard to get them from the UK. The magazines are a bit hard to get as well, I would love to subscribe to the magazine as I am sure many other US fans would do... You would think that they would figure out the fact of doubling their profits by sales here in the US. My 2 older ones were wanting to be a Dalek and a Cyberman for Halloween, they have the costumes over in the UK but there is absolutely no where to get such things here.

Maybe if all of us US fans and hey even the UK fans that would like to help out, write letters to the BBC, Sci-fi, BBC America, and anyone else that may help. Write them letters stating how much you would appreciate the full episodes over here, the specials as well (I am wondering if the US are going to be able to partake in enjoying them this year). Mention about the magazines and the merchandise as well!! I know that it can not hurt, but I also know that nothing will change or be done about anything until our voices are heard. I think that if enough people show their support and fandom of the shows and express their interests in wanting things over here as well, then how can they refuse such requests of the fans!!! I know there are thousands if not millions of us sci-fi geeks here!!! Heck! I am one of six in my household...lol Even get your children who enjoy watching the shows write one as well, My children are 1 1/2, 4, 7, and 9.....the 2 older ones will be writing one that is for sure! EVERYONE CAN SHOW THERE SUPPORT!!!!!

Ya never know, maybe we can even get them to think about having more conventions here in the US as well???!!! I went to many here in Phila, PA and a few in Trenton, NJ. I got to see some of the greats like Tom Baker, Patrick Troughton, Peter Davison, Sarah Sutton, Matthew Watterhouse, Katy Manning just to name a few!!! I would love to continue that tradition with my children and have them meet the people they look up to in these shows. They have a few DW conventions in the US but they are in California mainly and I think 1 in Chicago......there are many fans that can not travel to them but would love to meet these people and such. I for one would love to have one in PHILA, PA!!! So I am working on that as well...lol OK getting on a tangent here...lol Sorry needed to express my thoughts and upsets and get them off my chest...lol But at the same time, you are all fans as well and you all may have the same concerns or even some of your own!

Please feel free to leave comments on ideas, info, more subjects in this category, thoughts, or anything.

The Doctor/Doctor#2 : We never thought of that!

Donna : I’m just brilliant

The Doctor : The Doctor. In the TARDIS. With Rose Tyler. Just as it should be.

Rose : (to the Doctor) But I didn’t think….what about you? You gonna be alright?
