The Whoniverse Round-Up June 2019



June 2019


Nathan Sussex



Hollyoaks did well at the recent Soap Awards ceremony, picking up a few gongs, including Best Villain of the Year going to Nathan Sussex. Congratulations. Nathan collected his award, wearing his Nathan Parker Bespoke creation (sparkly jacket)

Last Summer 

I'm gutted that living where I do, that I won't be able to see this film unless I visit Wales any time soon. So really hoping it comes out on DVD at some point in the future. Nathan plays a character in this but unsure if he's another baddie or if he's a bit of a goodie. You will have to let us know if you're able to catch the film.

Premise: During a long hot summer in the 1970s untroubled by the adult world, four boys roam free until tragedy strikes with devastating consequences. Taking matters into their own hands, will the boys learn the value of their childhood friendship in the face of their impending fate?

Filmed and set in Wales and supported by Ffilm Cymru Wales. Currently only available to view in Wales, UK. Is in English and runs for 97 mins.

Good Omens


It's receiving some fantastic reviews across the world when it premiered on Friday on Amazon Prime. Those of us who are yet to see it, may need to either purchase something for a month of free Amazon Prime, or wait until it comes to the BBC sometime in the New Year. I have heard that there is also the possibility of a Good Omens Box Set later in 2020, but don't quote me on that. I think I might start saving for that possibility now, just in case.

To any of you who have been enjoying back to back episodes of Good Omens and wish to shout about it to the world – we are currently looking for fresh reviewers – so if you have an article up your sleeve, or indeed on your computer, then whack it over to us, for a chance of it being in our next Issue out in July!

Gavin & Stacey


Ruth Jones and James Corden have returned to pen another Christmas Special which brings Gavin & Stacey back to our screens. Can’t wait. I believe much of the original cast will be there, and it will be interesting to see if the original Neil will be in the story or a completely different child. He must be about 10 now???

Quantum Assassin by Matt Langley


Steven Savile’s latest novel ‘White Peak’ hasn't had the easiest start to life, after a major screw up with the publishing company responsible for launching his new series under the Ronan Frost penname. But he's nothing if not resourceful. Instead of crying woe is me, I’m glad to say, Steven is fighting back by taking control of his own destiny. He is launching his own publishing company, BAD PRESS, and his latest ‘science fantasy fun novel with an 80s soul and slightly mad sensibility’. He writes it with long time friend and fellow Doctor Who scribe Paul Ebbs. Writing under the Matt Langley name (which saw Steven become a finalist for the People's Book Prize with Black Flag) Steven is already in the process of hiring artists and designing the next release, Dagger of the Martyrs, a Knights Templar fantasy novel. And we wish him all the very best luck with that. So, if you’re in the market for a new ebook, then be sure to purchase a copy on Amazon and photograph your copy and send it to Steven to be in with a chance of winning a competition he has for this month.

“Anyone who sends me a proof of purchase for this gets put into a draw I’m making on the 25th of the month, offering not one... not two... okay this could go on a while, but fifty signed hardcovers of my St Martin’s and Severn House novels... to steve@stevensavile.com
