October 2014
October, the time of
Halloween, putting the clocks back and saving for the coming months when the
first glimpse of the Coca Cola truck signifies the festive season is upon us.
October saw
celebrations, as well as sad farewells.
Last month (September), saw the passing of Maggie Stables, a favourite
Who companion in Big Finish Productions, this month saw the passing of Lynda
Bellingham, the Oxo Mum, who also starred as the Inquisitor in ‘The Trial of a
Time Lord,’ read our Tribute to her here: http://projecttorchwood.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/the-mothership-tribute-to-lynda.html
14th October,
saw John Barrowman receive his MBE
at Buckingham Palace. A medal he quite
rightly deserves. You can find more
photos on Barrowman’s website http://johnbarrowman.com/fanzone/galleries/outabout/investiture/investituregallery.shtml
This month also saw the
release of The Maze Runners, one to look out for, especially the Whovians
amongst us. It stars Thomas
Brodie-Sangster, who played Tim Latimer in ‘Human Nature’ and ‘Family of
Blood’, check out our review by Bekah “Witch’s Cat” Shambrook, by clicking this

What
to look out for over the next couple of months
John
R Walker is currently
working on a new film called “Amityville Legacy” which was shot in Canada this
September and October and should be out to buy on DVD in April. The “Amityville Legacy” Facebook Page is
currently under construction, (it’s currently known as “Amityville Playhouse”)
but it asks if you can unfollow if you’re presently following that page, so it
can change its name to “Amityville Legacy”.
(Facebook policy – has to be less than 200 people following in order for
it to change its name) so can’t send you the link for that at the current
moment.
Last year we interviewed
John with regards to his Who and Torchwood involvement, check out the interview
here. http://projecttorchwood.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/interviews-john-r-walker.html

Comic
News
Andrew
Cartmel is currently
working on a graphic novel version of ‘Rivers of London’ novel for Titan
Comics, with Ben Aaronovitch. ‘Rivers of
London’ is the title of Ben Aaronovitch’s series of novels of which he
describes it as “the world’s cheapest ever SF soap opera, Jupiter Moon.” The novel follows the adventures of Peter
Grant, a young officer in the Met, who after an unexpected encounter with a
ghost, is recruited by a smaller unit within the Met that deals with magic and
the supernatural.
The series has a massive
following and has prompted a music video with lyrics and music by Ben Bailey “Doc
Brown” Smith, a cool UK rapper who created the 13 part teen comedy-drama on
CBBC, ‘The 4 O’clock Club’.
The comic book is due
out in April 2015, check here for more details: http://downthetubes.net/?p=17173
Last year we interviewed
Andrew Cartmel read it here: http://projecttorchwood.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/interview-with-andrew-cartmel-for.html
Titan
Comics are also
bringing out 9th Doctor stories in 2015 which will feature Captain
Jack Harkness and Rose Tyler. Now isn’t
that worth looking out for!
Novels
to look out for this month:
Steven
Savile has a few new
novels out this month, and a few older novels with rebooted covers which I have
to say look much better than the previous.
(I’m going to need a bigger bookshelf)
Crucible
is out November 4th,
also this month are Immortal and Time’s Mistress. New covers on the Osmiog series are
definitely worth a look see, and I’ve got my eye on quite a few of them.
You can follow the links
from his website http://www.stevensavile.com to find the novels or go directly to
Amazon UK or US, iTunes, Kobo or Barnes & Noble. We’ve posted up a few links below for Amazon
UK
