News Happy Birthday Paul Kasey & Joshua Weevil

Paul has performed as creatures, aliens and time zombies in the Whoniverse as well as performing in human form! 

Read our interview with Paul here: http://projecttorchwood.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/paul-kasey-interview.html

Joshua is our resident weevil and has been with us for 5 years. Rescued from a scientific building a good few years ago, we have no idea how old he really is but given his attitude to most things we’re estimating he probably is still just a teenager.   

Did you know on this day in 1965, Episode 3 of The Space Mission: The Search was broadcast.  It was Season 2 and starred William Hartnell as the Doctor, with companions, William Russell, Jacqueline Hill and Maureen O’Brien.  Jeremy Bulloch also appeared in this story. 

Writer was Glyn John and Director Mervyn Pinfield.

Writer was Malcolm Hulke and Director was Michael Briant.

Writer was Toby Whithouse and Director Jonny Campbell.

The Doctor gatecrashes Rory’s stag do and takes him and Amy to Venice in the year 1580 for a romantic trip courtesy of the TARDIS.  But as always they soon find themselves in trouble, this time with a school full of vampires.

Others celebrating their birthday today are:  Stephen Amell, David Attenborough, David Keith, Jack Charlton, Enrique Iglesias.

News Weevil sightings in London

Another weevil sighting

He's moving further down the country - now sighted in Basildon, Essex thanks to this photo by Karina Longman

I wonder where he'll be sighted next, if it's London, there's any manner of places!

Remember if you see him hashtag us on Twitter #Joshuaweevil, post up your photo to our FB Page and we'll add it here. 

News More Weevil Sightings

 Further Weevil Sightings

Since this morning Joshua has been sighted in various locations around the UK 

This photo was sent in by Gemma Griffin - thank you for the snapshot.

Here in the office we are starting to think that Joshua would like a more responsible role than the one he currently has, judging by the next photo that was picked up by our CCTV links somewhere in Birmingham at a school crossing.  

Would never have pegged him as a lollipop man however.  Still...! 

Keep them coming.  Remember to hashtag us on Twitter and Facebook if you see him. #Joshuaweevil

News Have you seen our Weevil?

Have you seen #Joshuaweevil?

Weevil sightings have been reported in Warwickshire, Southam to be exact.  Only three hours ago, (10:15am) Jess Emma Towey snapped this photograph of our missing weevil.  Of course to be fair it could be any weevil, but Joshua does like the limelight a little and has been known to pose  for photographs, and here he is outside a pub.  

Thankfully it's too early for the pub to be open to the public, so we can only hope he won't linger till opening time for a swift half.  

If you see our weevil remember to hashtag us on Twitter or Facebook and send a photograph in.  #Joshuaweevil

News Have you seen our weevil?

Have you seen our Weevil?

Joshua, our resident weevil, who we do love, really, headed off on an errand for us here at the base, and was meant to arrive in Germany to stay with @ChocoBetty, however he never quite got there.  We're not altogether sure why he never arrived, just that he didn't.  So activating his tracker, which was later detected hanging on a metal fence three services before Cardiff, we're a little bit concerned as to where he is.  

Then our ~Toshiko~ received a cyber postcard and it would appear he is in York.  

So if you happen to see Joshua any time this summer, snap a photo of him and send it in to us, so that we might at least finally hone in on his location.  Not sure who bought him the ice cream!!! Thank you whoever you are!

We will update his progress on Twitter and Facebook and on here during the summer!

If you see him, hashtag us on Twitter with #Joshuaweevil 

Thank you!
