April 2015
Can we just
wish a very Happy Birthday to Gloria Corbi who celebrates her birthday today
with Sydney Newman, the man who brought us Doctor Who back in the early 60’s,
and to who we all owe a debt of gratitude to, because without him, we wouldn’t
have a Whoniverse of amazing stories, creatures, characters and the wonderful
actors who play them and the crew to put them on the air. We salute you! And we also salute Gloria because we think
she ROCKS too! :D
Right on
with the show…
The Whoniverse
this month has seen a lot of exciting news and stories. For starters, Maisie Williams is going to be appearing in Doctor Who, as to what
character she appears as we’ll just have to wait and see, but it’s awesome
news, and Maisie is a great young actress – did anyone see her in the Cyber
bully film?
Also this
month we learnt that John Barrowman
is going to executive produce and star in Heavy
Metal’s The 49th Key – an event TV miniseries. The 49th Key is a story about
Enochian magic and adventure. It reads
a little like a Da Vinci Code mystery but looks fascinating and exciting and we
can’t wait to see this happen.
Looks like
another Who actor is joining the realms of DC Comics this year, Arthur ‘Rory’
Darvill will play Rip Hunter, in a Flash and Arrow spin off series as ‘a
roguish time traveller who hides the strains of being responsible for history
itself behind a façade of charm and wit’.
Sounds a bit like Doctor Who to me.
I wonder if at some point, all the once Who actors will all converge in
one episode. Imagine that! To find out
more, check out the Kasterborous website story here http://www.kasterborous.com/2015/03/arthur-darvill-cast-time-traveler-dc-comics-tv-series/
Also up
this month, was the 12th Doctor’s visit to Ty Hafan.
Peter Capaldi visited the children and staff at
the hospice and brought a smile to everyone’s faces. The photos and comments from the Facebook
page brought a tear to the eye. On the
11th – 17th May this year it’s Hospice Week, find out how
to get involved by following this link to their website. http://www.tyhafan.org/
There’s a
lot of Election banter going on at the moment, so it’s no surprise that we see
David Tennant and Martin Freeman heading up the Labour Party video for the
Scottish Labour Party called The Choice, which can be found on Youtube.
This month
(April) we’ll be adding our own spin on the Elections by asking you guys, out
of all the Whoniverse creatures and characters, who you would like to see as the
next Prime Minister of Britain and not only that, but we want to hear your
reasons for why your character should get the vote. On the day before the actual General Election
we’ll be putting your candidates up for the final overall vote. As I’m sure you’ve got an idea who you might
want to vote for. We need to know what
your character strives for over all else, use their background story for the
best argument, and see if your choice is the choice of the masses. Let’s have some Election fun over this.
We’ll be
posting up more details next week, so keep checking social networking sites for
further news. It’s something fun to do,
as let’s face it, politics are anything but exciting and no matter who you vote
for, none of them fulfil on their promises do they?
There were
a lot of birthdays in March but incredibly a heck of a lot more in April. We’ve been a little busy and not been able to
post any Shout Outs this month, we’ll make more of an effort this month, since
we’ve managed to calm the Rift.
Be sure to LIKE Justin Walters’ new Facebook Page
– Justin appeared as bodyguard to the Prime Minister of Great Britain in Doctor
Who: Rise of the Cybermen and was one of those scary cannibal villagers in
Torchwood: Countrycide, and set up his new FB page in March, you’ll find a link
to it on our Facebook Page.
That’s all
for now, be sure to check back here at the end of the month, and if you have a
news story you want to tell the world about that is Whoniverse related, if
there is an event you’d like to share, email us at projecttorchwood@ymail.com
