Congratulations To Eve Myles on Getting Married

Happy Wedding Day

Llongyfarchiadau i'r pâr priodas newydd hapus! / Congratulations to the newly happy married couple!

Last week, saw Eve Myles return to our screens in new BBC One medical drama Frankie on 14th May 2013 and rounded the week off by marrying her long term boyfriend, Bradley Freegard in Italy on Saturday 18th May 2013, in a small, intimate ceremenony. The only guest is their 3 year old daughter Matilda. Once back in Wales, they will celebrate with family and friends.

Bradley is most recently known for playing Steffan Jones in S4C's drama Teulu (Family), the fifth and final series came to an end earlier. 

Eve: 

“We’ve put the wedding off three times because of work so now it’s finally happening,” the 34-year-old told WalesOnline before leaving her South Wales home to travel to the secret Italian location.But it’s our priority this year and we’re really excited that it’s finally happening. It will just be the three of us on the day, which is how we wanted it.”

The couple are staying in a boutique hotel and will pledge their vows to each other during a late afternoon ceremony at a nearby abbey.

“I love Italian food and I love Italian people,” she said of their decision to marry in Italy.
“It will be a really nice break – I’ve been working so hard until yesterday so it will be a holiday, honeymoon and wedding rolled into one.”

Return Of A Classic Villain For The 50th?

The 50th special has been completed and we know that the Zygons will be returning.Allegedly,  there is a another, even bigger enemy lined up for the 50th special and could be the main villain of the celebratory episode (possibly). This spoiler has apparently come from a number of very reliable sources and told to Doctor Who Spoilers  who have confidently confirm this spoiler to be true.  

 The returning enemy is:


 OMEGA
 

Omega was a great intergalactic engineer and co-founder of Time Lord society, but circumstances bent his mind so that he threatened the entire universe. He was the only person ever to live within the anti-matter universe, which he subsequently ruled over.

No one has been confirmed to be playing this character but maybe they are hidden in plain sight? In the Arc of Infinity Omega used the Doctor’s biodata (in this case the 5th Doctor Peter Davison) to take physical form.

Webcast Scream Of The Shalka To Get DVD Release





Earth has been invaded – and nobody’s noticed.


The 2003 animated Doctor Who adventure Scream Of The Shalka will be released on DVD on 16th September 2013. 

Scream Of The Shalka was originally produced as a continuation of the TV series and took the form of six 15-minute episodes released on webcasts on the official BBC Doctor Who website. 
 
The adventure stars Richard E Grant (recently seen in the current run as Dr. Simeon / The Great Intelligence) as the 9th Doctor. He is up against The Master as played by the wonderful Derek Jaconbi; who went on to play the rol in Utopia. Other Doctor Who stars appear -  David Tennant as the Caretaker and Sophie Okonedo (Liz Ten) as Alison Cheney. 
 
When Russell T Davies brought the show back to our screens in March 2005,    Scream Of The Shalka became a non-canon, online webcast. 

The adventure sees the Doctor in a Lancashire village battling a race of underground-dwelling aliens, the Shalka, who are planning to take over the Earth.

Jemma Redgrave:Excited About The 50th Anniversary

cast-jemmaredgrave 


Although Redgrave has been appearing with Torchwood‘s Eve Myles in the new district nurse drama Frankie, she still had time to chat about the Doctor Who 50th anniversary…

I wasn’t even allowed to tell my children I was actually in it for about four or five weeks! Once we filmed in Trafalgar Square I knew it would be impossible to keep that under wraps! But what do you do? I was going to work and not being able to tell anyone what I was doing! It was like joining bloody MI6!
 What I can tell you is that it’s absolutely bloody brilliant! I think it’s an astonishing script. Stephen Moffat is an outrageously good writer and as always with Doctor Who, it’s philosophical, it’s deep, it’s an adventure story and if you’re a kid, you’re going to be taken on an extraordinary ride. It raises all sorts of interesting questions for anyone who wants to go deeper with it. It’s funny and then on a sixpence it breaks your heart. It’s just wonderful!
It might seem a long way off now, but just you watch – November will be here in a jiffy…

Peabody Award For Doctor Who

 

Matt Smith, Jenna Coleman and Steven Moffat arrived at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York yesterday (Monday 20 May) to pick up an Institutional Peabody Award for Doctor Who.  But that's not the only good news on the awards front - Doctor Who has also been nominated in the Best Drama Series category in the TVChoice Awards 2013. 

The prestigious George Foster Peabody Awards celebrate excellence in radio and television broadcasting and is one of the highest honours in television. The awarding committee described the show as: 

"Seemingly immortal, 50-years-old and still running, this engaging, imaginative sci-fi/fantasy series is awarded an Institutional Peabody for evolving with technology and the times like nothing else in the known television universe"

The Peabody Award is voted for by a panel of distinguished academics, television critics, industry practitioners and experts in culture and the arts. The TVChoice awards are voted for by you, the audience. Now in its 17th year honouring TV's most popular stars and shows, you can back your favourites by voting online or via the magazine forms. 

The TV Choice Awards will take place on Monday 9 September so hopefully Matt and Jenna will have another trophy to pick up! Good luck to all the nominees!

A New Series And More

The BBC are delighted to confirm that Series 34 (8) has been commissioned and the show's lead writer and executive producer, Steven Moffat, has revealed that he has begun writing the next set of adventures for the Doctor and Clara.

But way before that hits our screens we have a huge amount to look forward to. Your calendars should already have a big red circle around 23 November because that’s when the TARDIS returns in the frankly Earth-shattering adventure that celebrates half a century of Doctor Who. This 3D special stars Matt Smith and Jenna Coleman with David Tennant and John Hurt, seen briefly at the end of The Name of the Doctor. Billie Piper returns alongside Jemma Redgrave, Joanna Page… and the Zygons! 

Later this year, the BBC also premieres An Adventure in Space and Time, the brilliant drama written by Mark Gatiss that looks at the genesis of Doctor Who. If this video location report is anything to go by, we’re in for a memorable insight into the show’s origins.

This year’s Christmas Special will be rounding off a spectacular year and lead into the next series in style. The BBC have big plans in place that will well and truly celebrate the Doctor’s half-centenary. I will post them as and when the news breaks.

Karen Gillan's Hollywood Makeover

Karen Gillan

 Karen Gillan is attending the Caines Film Festival and has undergone a bit of glam makeover.

Gillan's feature film Not Another Happy Ending will be shown at the festival. The movie was filmed llate last year in Glasgow, and Karen plays in the role of Jane Lockhart, a writer who is struggling to pen a second novel following the success of her first.



The film also stars Stanley Weber, BAFTA-nominated actor Iain De Caestecker, Kate Dickie and Skins star Freya Mavor. It will premiere at the 67th Edinburgh Film Festival in June, following its screenings at Cannes.

Karen Gillan

Gillan said of the movie: "The film came about when my director John McKay, back when I was working on television for We'll Take Manhattan, said, 'You're really good at falling over, you should read this script', and gave me Not Another Happy Ending.

"I suppose I am one of life's naturally clumsy people, I don't drop stuff all the time, or break things, but I'm just generally a bit flustered.'"

Synopsis

When a struggling publisher discovers his only successful author is blocked he knows he has to unblock her or he’s finished. With her newfound success, she’s become too damn happy and she can’t write when she’s happy. The only trouble is, the worse he makes her feel, the more he realises he is in love with her… 

With her debut novel, ‘Happy Ending’, JANE LOCKHART (Karen Gillan) pulled off that rare double – critical acclaim and mainstream success. But now, with just the last chapter of the follow-up novel to write, she encounters crippling writer’s block. She has no idea how her story ends… This is not good news for her publisher, TOM. His company is up against the wall financially and the only thing that will save him is a hit, in the form of Jane’s next novel. When he discovers that his most important author is blocked, Tom knows he has to unblock her or he’s finished. Everyone knows you have to be miserable to write well, and Tom realises that the only way he’s going to get her to finish the novel is to make her life a misery. With the help of his best friend and cynical, child-hating high school teacher, RODDY, he sets about trying to dismantle the things in Jane’s life that make her happy. Meanwhile, Jane’s block spirals out of control – to the point where her fictional characters, twiddling their thumbs in the not-happening novel, intrude into her real life. Her heroine, DARSIE, is terrified that Jane won’t give her the ending she desires because Jane has given up on her own happy ending. Will Tom, or Darsie, manage to get Jane writing again, and create a happy ending for everyone?

Update your Doctor Who collection with these 3.75 inch scale action figures.These highly detailed, realistic and poseable action figures from Series 33 (7). Available from May/June 2013. Price TBC.

Apparently, Character Options are stopping the production of the 5 inch figures for some odd reason. Makes no sense to me or many other WHO fans. I buy them for my nephew but, being 7 years old, he won't mind these new size figures. Shame though.

'Doctor Who' 50th anniversary to be celebrated at BAFTA TV Awards

Doctor Who's 50th anniversary will be celebrated at Sunday's (May 12) Arqiva BAFTA Television Awards.

In addition to a special video tribute covering the show's half-century, Jenna-Louise Coleman will present a trophy at the ceremony on London's South Bank.

 Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman with a BAFTA statuette 

"This is a massive and exciting year for Doctor Who, so I'm thrilled that BAFTA are including a special tribute to the show. So thrilled, in fact, we're sending the Doctor's best friend, Jenna Coleman, to present an award," said Steven Moffat.

"We're also sending the Doctor's worst enemy, the Daleks, to exterminate lots of innocent people. Sorry, it's just what they do. Let us know if it's a Health and Safety issue."

Two Daleks will be sent to 'patrol' the red carpet on Sunday as guests arrive.

BAFTA chief executive Amanda Berry hailed the long-running drama's "quality and longevity" and its "ability to put the nation on their sofas or indeed behind them - year after year", adding that the organisation "raises a toast to Doctor Who on its 50th birthday".

The Arqiva British Academy Television Awards will be hosted by Graham Norton at the Royal Festival Hall, London on Sunday, May 12. They will be broadcast from 8pm the same night on BBC One.
