BBC Trailer for New Doctor Who Season



The BBC has released a trailer for the new season of the long-running Doctor Who series.   The seventh season of the “revamped” Doctor Who promises to be very interesting especially since Neil Gaiman, who won a Hugo Award for his first Doctor Who script, penned another episode that will be included in Season 7.

Is any footage from the Gaiman episode in the new trailer? The answer appears to be yes since there is a shot of the Cybermen, who have not appeared in any Doctor Who episodes since 2011, but which are the focus of Gaiman’s second Doctor Who script.  The new season will premiere debut on March 30th.

Torchwood Back for Season 3

Filming for the third season of the BBC's Doctor Who spinoff Torchwood (aired in the U.S. on BBC America), has begun in Cardiff, Wales, BBC Worldwide announced. The series, created and produced by Russell T. Davies, is scheduled to return in 2009, with a five-part miniseries titled Torchwood: Children of Earth.

The new season sees the Torchwood team embarking on a single action-packed adventure as they battle for the future of the human race against the fiercest force they have yet encountered. The highly motivated team includes John Barrowman as Capt. Jack Harkness, Eve Myles as Gwen Cooper and Gareth David-Lloyd as Ianto Jones. Also reprising their recurring roles are Kai Owen as Gwen's husband, Rhys, and Tom Price as PC Andy. Special guests in the five-part series include Peter Capaldi, who plays the role of Mr. Frobisher, a civil servant who is hiding a terrible secret; Paul Copely as Clem, a survivor still haunted by his past; and Liz May Brice as Johnson, a cynical covert government agent determined to expose Torchwood. "The new series of Torchwood is hugely bold and promises to be bigger and better than ever," Davies said in a statement.

"The audience is in for an amazing ride. This series is one big serial and the most ambitious story we've ever made, and we've got plenty of surprises in store." In a separate statement, Julie Gardner, Head of Drama, BBC Wales, said, "We hope to make Torchwood a gripping and surprising TV event with storylines that push our team into greater danger and sacrifice. Joining our main cast are some fantastic guest artists who will only add to making this unmissable TV." The second season of Torchwood will be released on DVD in the U.S. on Sept. 16.
