New Radio Drama Series and Audiobooks
Play.com are now listing three new Torchwood Audiobooks for presale, all with seperate release dates in July, August and September. They would appear to be part of a "Torchwood: Radio 4 Drama 2009" series, which means we will most likely be hearing these on the radio before they are actually released in shops.
What is sure to cause mass speculation amongst Torchwood fans is the current cast listing the site gives:
"A Brand new, made-for-radio episode of Torchwood, starring John Barrowman, Freema Agyeman and other members of the TV cast (all details TBC)".
While it looks like we'll be seeing (Or indeed hearing) the delightful Martha Jones in these new audiobooks, is this a hint towards Agyeman being added to the Torchwood cast in the show's future TV escapdes? Or is it just a guest stint for the audiodramas? Or is it actually a simple matter of Play.com being lazy and copy/pasting the cast list from the "Lost Souls" special Torchwood did in conjunction with BBC's coverage of the CERN experiment last year?

Anna Friel To Star In The Sarah Jane Adventures?
According to various sources, Anna Friel has apparently landed a role in an episode for the third series of The Sarah Jane Adventures which will air later this year. Anna Friel has appeared in many TV shows and films during her career and is well well known for her role as Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles in Pushing Daisies. You can view more information about Anna and her previous work here. The reports and articles claim that she will play an evil zombie life-sized doll and will come face to face with Sarah Jane, Luke, Clyde and Rani. It should be noted however that these are only rumours at the moment and that the casting of Anna Friel hasn't yet been confirmed by an official source. More information about these rumours will be posted if and when it becomes available.

Police bring Tardis-style boxes back into use
THEY are perhaps more instantly recognised today as Dr Who's time-travelling Tardis. But police in the Capital are about to turn the clock back more than 40 years by bringing police boxes back into use.
The Lothian and Borders force sees the iconic boxes – forever associated with the Dixon of Dock Green era of the 1950s and 60s – as an ideal way to provide a more visible presence in the city.
The boxes would be manned at busy times, allowing members of the public to report crimes and hand in lost property. Beat bobbies would be able to take a tea break or fill out paperwork without returning to the station. The boxes would have to be renovated as they have lain empty for at least 20 years.
One has already been refurbished in the Grassmarket thanks to a city council grant as part of the area's redevelopment.
Police have earmarked five others at busy spots around the city centre and more might be identified in future if the initiative proves popular.
Inspector Gavin Phillip, sector inspector for the West End, who is hoping to secure funding for the project, said: "We are looking at five of the boxes we want to spruce up. In addition to use by police officers, they could also be used by partners such as community safety wardens.
"Over the summer, when the visitor numbers increase, they could be a point of contact for the public. They could be manned at busy times of day. It's a key part of visibility and providing reassurance.
"Obviously things have moved on from when they were last used but they could still be used by officers on the beat. There's very limited space inside the box but there's space for filling in forms or potentially handing in lost property.
"It's still at a very early stage of development but I don't think we would need huge sums of money."
The police boxes date from the 1930s and at their peak in the 1950s and 1960s there were 86 scattered around Edinburgh. Twenty years ago they fell into disuse. In 1995, 33 of them were sold off and many are now run by the Police Box Coffee Company. A total of 21 of them are listed by Historic Scotland.
Old Town community councillor Bill Cowan said many residents and shopkeepers were keen to see them brought back into use.
He said: "I think it's a brilliant idea. It's got great public support. It makes the police more visible, and there's also an element of nostalgia. It's like seeing a policeman on a bicycle."
