Primeval V3

The third volume of Primeval contains the thirteen episodes of the show’s fourth and fifth series/season, and the first for the new incarnation of ARC – but not to worry, if you haven’t watched the show’s first three seasons, there’s a quick saga sell/previously on that brings you completely up to date. And it’s definitely worth jumping on board here because this is one smart, exciting show.

TELEVISION: Neil Gaiman Confirmed For Doctor Who Episode!

Posted by   on February 7, 2010

in Television

The name Neil Gaiman is synonymous with great storytelling – from his iconic Sandman comics to children’s tales with an edge [Coraline] and expansive fantasy worlds like those of American Gods and Anansi Boys. Now SFX Weekly is reporting that he has confirmed that an episode of Doctor Who will be only his third television credit [he wrote Day of the Dead for Babylon 5 and co-wrote the BBC mini-series, Neverwhere].

neil-gaiman

Gaiman’s Doctor Who ep will appear in Matt Smith’s second season as The Doctor. On the subject of his Whovian script, Gaiman said, “As anyone who’s read my blog knows, I’m a big fan of a certain long-running British SF TV series. One that started watching — from behind the sofa — when I was three. And while I know it’s cruel to make you wait for things, in about 14 months from now, which is to say, NOT in the upcoming season but early in the one after that, it’s quite possible that I might have written an episode. And if I had, it would originally have been called “The House of Nothing”. But it definitely isn’t called that any more.

Countdown. You’ve got about 14 months.”

Syfy today announced that they have ordered thirteen episodes of an American version of the BBC hit series, Being Human [pictured]. The series tells the story of a ghost, vampire and werewolf who share an apartment – and a tendency to want to deny what they are and just be accepted as people. The British series featured 120-year old vampire Mitchell and twentysomethings George, a highly intelligent werewolf, and Annie, an agoraphobic ghost who died under [say it with me] mysterious circumstances.
