Dr Who s4 finale spoilers [but nothing plot-related ]

Spoiler:

YAY!

More spoilers from the Radio Times magazine [thanks to lucy-loo1]

Spoiler:

"Huge events are in store for Donna. The returning companions have incredible status - as the finale swings into action, we've got Rose, with her ability to stride parallel worlds, alongside Captain Jack and his Torchwood team, plus Martha with the military might of UNIT behind her, and Sarah-Jane with her alien-busting career - and yet it's still Donna at the heart of events. The ordinary human!"

Sounds great!

I really can't wait for this now

Season 3 spoilers

Thanks to tigercheetah who collected season 3 spoilers from various fan reports of Gareth David-Lloyd's appearance in Canada

Spoiler:

"Very early audio reports from Gareth's appearance in Canada are just starting to come through. This is what he had to say about series 3, although these early audio reports are not great quality.

1) Filming will start in August.

2 This time around, the cast have recieved all their scripts for the new series in advance, which he was happy about.

3) Series 3 will be aimed at a more "mainstream" audience (this means it will be aimed at a wider audience, not just sci-fi fans) but it will still be a 9pm watershed show and it will still be Torchwood as we recognise it.

4) Series 3 will be one long storyline, which will be "one of the most horrible situations so far" for the team. There will be quite a few emotional scenes throughout.

5) Owen and Tosh have not been forgotten.

6) There will be 2 new characters joining (he didn't say who)

7) Gareth also says that Ianto has "a lot of lines, which is nice" whilst he has a smile on his face and that he also has a few emotional scenes. (Anyone who was worried about Ianto being pushed aside in S3, seem to have little to worry about )"

BBC 1 has just released its synopsis of The Making of Me, the upcoming documentary series with actor John Barrowman and PFLAG executive director Jody Huckaby and his siblings.

"Three celebrities go on a mission to discover the source of their defining trait, talent or characteristic. With the help of scientific testing, the latest psychology techniques, brain science and genetics, they attempt to answer a question that affects everyone – how do nature and nurture shape us?

In the first programme, John Barrowman embarks on a journey of self-discovery to find out the truth about his sexuality. John is a successful actor, musical performer, dancer, singer and TV presenter. For as long as he has been aware of his sexuality, John has been convinced that he was born gay and firmly believes that homosexuality is not a choice. But did nature really mould him or did nurture have a part to play?"

The first episode will air on Thursday 24 July, 9.00-10.00pm on BBC ONE.

More about the documentary here.

Identity of BBCA Captain's Blog Author Revealed

From James Moran's Blog:

"Also, the new issue of Torchwood magazine is out, which has some interesting news about Series 3. Specifically, one of the writers involved, a handsome, talented young fellow called... oh, how embarrassing! It's me! Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies - you know the drill, I can't talk plot details or anything like that. However, if you want some spillage, I am now able to reveal that I know who did the Captain's Blogs on the BBC America site: it was an extremely dashing, clever gentleman called... oh blimey, how embarrassing! It's me again! Er, yes, it was. Sorry, I pretended not to know because I had to keep quiet. Now that I've come clean, I feel so much better. I hereby claim the sweets and cash you all promised to the person who did them."

Identity of BBCA Captain's Blog Author Revealed

From James Moran's Blog:

LOL that was funny. Too bad no real news regarding the five episode story arch but I have a feeling that they will (try) keep it under wraps pretty tight (well unless "The Sun" is going to spill the beans ....again....) because there are only five episodes and it isn't much fun when all the details are spoiled.

[iolanda]

Is there anywhere a link to the Captain's blog? And can you read it from outside the US?
