David Tennant to Leave Doctor Who

Fans of Doctor Who who were just watching the National Television Awards would have been shocked at what David Tennant announced. David Tennant won Best Drama Performance and Catherine Tate accepted it for him as he was performing Hamlet, but he did make a speech live from there, confirming that he will not play the Doctor after the 2009 specials meaning that there will be a new Doctor in Series Five in 2010. Many fans are very upset after hearing this news. Not only did David Tennant win an award, but so did Doctor Who itself, and Russell T Davies, Catherine Tate, Noel Clarke, Camille Coduri and Elisabeth Sladen all went up on stage to accept the award. As soon as I can I will post the speeches that were made.

Torchwood May 2009 Book Synopses

BBC Books recently released the synopses for the the previously reported new set of three Torchwood novels. The books include Into the Silence, Bay of the Dead and The House That Jack Built. You can see all three synopses below;

Into the Silence
Written by Sarah Pinborough

The body in the church hall is very definitely dead. It has been sliced open with surgical precision, its organs exposed, and its vocal cords are gone. It is as if they were never there or they've been dissolved... With the Welsh amateur Operatic Contest getting under way, music is filling the churches and concert halls of Cardiff. The competition has attracted the finest Welsh talent to the city, but it has also drawn something else - there are stories of a metallic creature hiding in the shadows. Torchwood are on its tail, but it's moving too fast for them to track it down. This new threat requires a new tactic - so Ianto Jones is joining a male voice choir...

Bay of the Dead
Written by Mark Morris

When the city sleeps, the dead start to walk... Something has sealed off Cardiff, and living corpse are stalking the streets, leaving a trail of half-eaten bodies. Animals are butchered. A young coupe in their car never reach home. A stolen tugboat is brought back to shore, carrying only human remains. And a couple of girls heading back from the pub watch the mysterious drivers of a big black SUV take over a crime scene. Torchwood have to deal with the intangible barrier surrounding Cardiff, and some unidentified space debris that seems to be regenerating itself. Plus, of course, the all-night zombie horror show. Not that they really believe in zombies.

The House That Jack Built
Written by Guy Adams

Jackson Leaves - an Edwardian house in Penylen, built 1906, semi-detached, three storeys, spacious, beautifully presented. Left in good condition to Rob and Julia by Rob's late aunt. It's an ordinary sort of a house. Except for the way the rooms don't stay in the same places. And the strange man that turns up in the airing cupboard. And the apparitions. And the temporal surges that attract the attentions of Torchwood. And the fact that the first owner of Jackson Leaves in 1906 was a Captain Jack Harkness...

These three books are currently set for release on the 21st of May next year at the RRP of £6.99. These three books will feature Captain Jack, Gwen and Ianto and will join the other nine Torchwood novels which are out now.

Doctor Who Magazine #401

The details for Doctor Who Magazine #401, which was released today at the price of £3.99 at all good newsagents and comic shops, has been released. You can see the cover to the left and below is the press release;

Davros, creator of the Daleks is reborn... in Doctor Who Magazine 401!

DWM talks exclusively to the people responsible for Davros’ recent return, including Head Writer Russell T Davies and prosthetics expert Neill Gorton...

Was Russell tempted to use Davros’ revival as a means to finally reinvent and clear up some of his complex backstory, once and for all?
“I never really worried about tying his history together,” Russell admits, “except I was convinced he had to have a metal hand, because it was so clearly blown off in Revelation of the Daleks. So no, I didn’t do any research as such. I didn’t rewatch Genesis, because I wanted to act off my memories. Somehow, that seems a more creative state to be in. I did worry that we never had a proper explanation of his injuries, but then realised that Genesis never did that either, so it was good company to be in! Although I did write a sort of creation story…”
“There was one scene where you were going to see an explosion, and Davros was injured,” recalls Neill. “We weren’t actually going to show his face burnt and disfigured in its full gory glory, because it would have been just a little extreme, so I think you were only going to see glimpses of his head, with smoke rising, and his hair burnt off...”
