Hello! And here is my report from San Diego regarding Doctor Who and Torchwood.
The BBC America: Torchwood panel was earlier today, and Noel Clarke was in attendance. They started out the one hour panel by showing just about half of the premiere episode of Torchwood. Although most of the people in the audience I think had already watched the series, there were a few (such as an acquaintenance that was there with me) who had yet to see it, so she got to enjoy the footage for the first time.
The other half an hour was an interview & Q&A session. Since it was focusing upon the soon-to-air first series on BBC America, nothing was given away for series 2 - indeed, one woman asking a question upset the audience by spoiling one of the episode titles.
Afterward, there was an autograph signing with Noel, but all he had to sign were these 8x10'ish posters that had the Who logo, along with the 10th Doctor and Martha - no Mickey specific photos like you'd want and expect. Oh well.
I also went by Underground Toys to look at their selection, but no purchases made so far. Another company, who's name escapes me, was also giving a preview of some Doctor Who Series One trading cards they're doing.
Finally, the Weta booth.
I can give you the following info from Weta about the four Doctor Who statues they're doing with one caveat: none of these statues have received final approval.
1st - Cyber Controller from the two-parter of series 2.
2nd - Dalek from the episode "Dalek". The Dalek case is opened and the creature inside is exposed.
These two should now be on Weta's website to look at.
3rd - the Doctor and Davros, not yet available for viewing.
4th - the Master and the Autons, not yet available for viewing.
I was told that they may get to show either the 3rd or 4th before the end of Comic-Con, but it sounds like the 4th (not sure which of the two) might not actually be shown at all, since I guess they haven't gotten permission just yet.
Anyways, that's all for now. If there's anything else, I'll try and check back.  |
