Extra Torchwood


And that's ESPECIALLY for viewers in Scotland!

I noted from the new "Radio Times" yesterday that BBC Two Scotland have relented on showing both the kiddie-friendly edit of "Torchwood" and the ONLY showing of "Torchwood De-Classified" which is networked in England and Wales on Thurdays at 7pm. As from episode 4 ("Meat") it will go out on TUESDAY at 7pm instead, avoiding the sacred Gaelic Zone (ironically this is ditched for a football match next week!).

Sorry I don't know if this situation is matched in Northern Ireland which also has a localised Thursday evening schedule.

However I managed to miss the fact that from next Wednesday (13th) BBC Three will be premiering the 'next week' episode, as they did with "Heroes" last year. This is especially apt for Martha Jones fans as her first of three "Torchwood" episodes ("Reset") will be on at 9.50pm that night, following episode five ("Adam") on BBC Two.

Only drawback here is that this will skim off some of BBC Two's ratings, as happened in series one.

7 FEBRUARY UPDATE: SFX are now reporting this BBC Three premiere is to be a one-off, presumably to draw people into the revamp happening on the channel from next week.

The new camera



Well not actually my camera as it can't quite take a picture of itself yet. I finally managed to get together enough cash and confidence in my choice last Thursday evening and picked this up in the Craigleith branch of Argos during a very gusty shower. The photo tells you a fair bit about the spec.

I've went from a 3 megapixel model (impressed me back in 2003) to a whopping 12 megapixel model now. However I've set it to take pics at 6MP (its lowest setting) as I think that's fair enough for my purposes.It also doesn't clog up the storage so much. It was only giving me room for 25 or so shots with the inbuilt 64MB ! I wisely spurned the Argos offer of a 1GB SD card for 'only' £17.99 - instead I picked up a Tesco own-brand SD card for under a tenner - and it's a 2GB one! Now I have room for over 1000 photos. However it also takes HD video - so I think a big storage capacity is essential for that.

Unfortunately, as on the day of purchase, the weather when I'm not in work has been pretty filthy and not very photogenic. Hopefully I'll be able to get some new landscape shots done this coming weekend.I'm thinking of a trip out somewhere like Linlithgow, St Andrews or the Borders. Looking especially for carpets of snowdrops.

Kate Rusby - The Village Green Preservation Society



This seems to have been released as a single (it's a bonus track on her current album), following its use as the theme tune to sitcom "Jam and Jerusalem". Can't find a proper video on YouTube though. It's a cover of a well-loved Kinks song from 1968.

Radio Times Covers Party




Call me a sad anorak but this is always a do I'd love to get invited to, Essentially anyone who's been on the RT cover in the last calendar year gets an invite. Here's four of the liggers. Unfortunately the one of Freema Agyeman with the (currently injured) Sean Lamont isn't online so I may have to scan it from the magazine.

"Voyage of the Damned" DVD cover released



Here's the first of what could be labelled the 'season four' batch of vanilla DVDs with the TARDIS coral replacing the 'season three' TARDIS floor panels as a wraparound theme.

It's out on Monday 10 March, likely to be in the immediate run up to series four proper starting on BBC One. My guess is Easter Saturday, 23 March.

Amazon have this at £10.98

Scene from "The Intern" - ADULTS ONLY

Thought this was rather cute - shades of Henry from "Ugly Betty" in terms of promoting lust for geeks. Shame about the invasive titles near the beginning, but at least you know who you're getting ;-) (Ben Andrews dons specs for the title role)

River City Totty - David Paisley


For anyone who wondered what happened to actor David Paisley after his character's gruesome demise in "Holby City" in 2003, he's currently on Scottish TV screens in the soap "River City". The picture here (not at all flattering) is him in character as Rory Murdoch who popped up over the festive season. I think it's the first time the out-gay actor hasn't played a gay character, but he is following a certain theme with Tinsel Town, Holby City then River City.

Good News for terrestrial bound "Skins" viewers



As well as giving me an excuse to post this lovely piccy of Mitch Hewer (who plays the featured character in the first episode) the actual good news is that while the new series premieres on E4 next Monday, the Channel 4 showing is merely 3 days later on Thursday at 10.35pm. Last year terrestrial viewers had to wait the best part of a year before the first season appeared on C4!
