Doctor Who Promo Pic

Filming has just started on Series 7 of Doctor Who in Cardiff. This series will see the last days of the Ponds as Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill return for their final, rollercoaster voyage with The Doctor.

Amy and Rory have been at the Doctor’s side for more than two series but what will he do after their heartbreaking departure? On returning for his third series as the Eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith says: “It’s thrilling and exciting to be back and working with two of my closest friends.” Karen Gillan adds, “It’s just brilliant to be back on the TARDIS with Matt and Arthur for our craziest adventures yet.”

New guest stars so far confirmed include David Bradley, Rupert Graves and Mark Williams. Series 7 will then see a dramatic turn of events when The Doctor meets a new friend.

Prepare yourselves for thrills, adventures and dramatic surprises as the show builds towards its enormous, climactic 50th anniversary year. Fourteen big, blockbuster-movie episodes – each a brand new epic adventure featuring new monsters and some familiar foes as you’ve never seen them before.

Doctor Who is a BBC Cymru Wales Production for BBC ONE.



Book Review-Doctor Who: Magic of the Angels

The Doctor, Amy, and Rory complete their sightseeing tour of London with a visit to the theatre, but things quickly take a dark turn when young girls begin disappearing from the area. The Doctor suspects Sammy Star’s magic act may be involved, especially when Sammy’s assistant vanishes during a performance.

Determined to uncover the truth, the Doctor and his companions team up with the residents of an old people’s home. Together, they face off against a deadly Weeping Angel that threatens to claim more victims. As the clock ticks down, the Doctor warns his friends: don’t blink!

While it may be a quick read at only 128 pages, this Doctor Who adventure delivers on both action and character development. The weeping angels are used effectively, and the dialogue and interactions between the Doctor, Amy, and Rory feel true to their on-screen personas.

Overall, it’s an enjoyable read that will satisfy fans of the series.

DVD review: Fright Night

Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin) and his mum (Toni Collete) have got a new neighbour called Jerry (Colin Farrell). Ever since Jerry moved in, local residents have gone missing. It’s also been about a year since Charley last spoke to his geeky best friend, Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse).

You see, Charley is desperate to outgrow his nerdy roots. He got himself a girlfriend (Imogen Poots) and spends his days trying to befriend/impress the school’s dumb jocks. So when Ed starts making outlandish claims that Jerry is a vampire, Charley tries to distance himself even further. Ed then goes missing, causing Charley to believe Ed’s theory. The thing is, now nobody believes Charley.

Film review: The Woman in Black

What makes Woman In Black so refreshing is that it is old-school psychological horror,  complete
with an isolated, haunted mansion, rocking chairs, beheaded dolls, random screams, mysterious deaths, untold secrets, dangerous silence, suspiciously-hostile locals, a hallucination sequence and horrifying consequences.

A few eyebrows were raised when Daniel Radcliffe was announced as the leading man; other than the Harry Potter franchise he had only done one drama called The December Boys. Let’s start by saying Radcliffe is amazing: his performance is captivating. A lot of the film focuses on his character alone in a haunted mansion and he manages to hold your attention throughout.

Woman in Black soundtrack review

The name Marco Beltrami should be a familiar one to fans of horror/thriller films. His name and music have been all over the genre for years.

His work on everything from Scream and the Halloween remake to The Hurt Locker and Jonah Hex have made him the composer of choice for the likes of Wes Craven for two decades.

So when it came to remaking Susan Hill’s disturbingly creepy novella The Woman in Black, Beltrami must have been top of the list for director James Watkins. Continue reading Woman in Black soundtrack review

An Evening With Eve Myles

Along with Paul and Chris from The Pharos Project, I travelled to North Wales to catch up with Torchwood’s Eve Myles. We got drunk by an open fire, talked Doctor Who, Torchwood, carpeted bathrooms and working with Zach Braff. Eve also told us about the time she went “Bongo’s up”.

Eve Myles is a Welsh actress from Ystradgynlais. She graduated from the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama in 2000. Later that year, she began portraying Ceri Lewis in the BBC drama series Belonging, a role she would play until the end of the series in 2009. Myles’ early UK-wide television credits included the 2001 miniseries Tales from Pleasure Beach and the 2003 television drama Colditz. In 2005, she auditioned for a part in the revived series of Doctor Who, and landed the role of servant girl Gwyneth, in the Series 1 episode “The Unquiet Dead”, alongside Billie Piper and Christopher Eccleston.
