Red Dwarf X – Video of the new Red Dwarf Model!
Dave Channel have just released this little teaser for the new Red Dwarf - Series X. A quick zip over the new Red Dwarf physical ship model.
I think this is the 4th Red Dwarf model.
The 1st fell off a shelf in the production offices.
The 2nd was rebuild from the first for the series 5 episode ‘Demons and Angels’… and then blown up…
One was then build for the remastered DVDs, along with a CGI version.
Nice to see them still using a physical model. 
Eve Myles & Zach Braff are All New People!
Eve Myles

Eve and Zach are also joined by another ‘Who’ related actress in the form of the lovely Susannah Fielding (Lilian in Doctor Who’s ‘Victory of the Daleks’, along with tv roles in Wallander, Pete Versus Life, and on stage with the RSC and The National.)

Susannah Fielding
In the dead of winter, at his wealthy friends’ luxury Long Beach Island apartment, Charlie (Zach Braff) has hit rock bottom on his 35th birthday. Away from the rest of the world, this perfect escape is interrupted by a motley parade of misfits who show up and change his plans. A hired beauty, a fireman, and an eccentric British real estate agent desperately trying to stay in the country all suddenly find themselves tangled together in a beach house where the mood is anything but sunny, while Charlie just wishes they’d leave and let him get on with it.
Best known for the smash-hit TV comedy Scrubs – nominated for 17 Emmy Awards and watched by over 22 million people worldwide – writer, director and star of the award winning Garden State, Zach Braff is a three time Golden Globe nominee and Grammy Award winner.

MTV UK to stroll through Death Valley in Jan!
Undead Task Force
MTV are rolling into the New Year with the most unlikely police force around – the ‘Undead Task Force’, from brand new scripted horror-comedy Death Valley. With a remit to hunt the vampires, werewolves and zombies that tirelessly roam the streets of San Fernando Valley; you wouldn’t think battling the undead could be so funny. Sexy, gory and packed full of laughs, Death Valley is a non-stop thrill ride featuring extreme chases, hardcore kills and bizarre encounters with the supernatural. Already a smash hit in the States, Death Valley takes viewers to a place they’ve never been before with everything from vampire hookers to werewolf porn stars.
MTV are celebrating the new series by recruiting new Undead Task Force officers, and offering one lucky member the chance to win a trip to Los Angeles (Death Valley).
The ‘Death Valley: Share to Kill’ Facebook app gives MTV fans an inside peak at life as an Undead Task Force officer. Working as a team, fans from all over the world must kill vampires, werewolves, and zombies in order to rid Death Valley of the menacing and hideous creatures.
Zombie Cheerleader
Through exclusive video footage of disgustingly gory Valley pests, users are invited to create and share their own witty caption about the video. If enough comments are made, MTV will reveal the creature being slaughtered in the grotesque yet hilarious ways of the Undead Task Force – think headshots, knuckles and baseball bats. The caption with the most likes also wins exclusive Death Valley merchandise.
However, if all of the Valley’s horrible species are killed before the worldwide Death Valley premier, the user with the most creative caption will win a trip all the way to Death Valley in Los Angeles where zombies may or may not be roaming the streets…
The new, hilarious gore-ridden series will be on our screens for twelve weeks from Monday the 30th of January exclusively on MTV, but if you can’t wait until then to join the Undead Task Force at work, visit: http://on.fb.me/Az9ArH
Being Human is back, with a new Vampire… Meet Hal (Video)!
It's all change in Being Human Series 4
With Mitchell (Aidan Turner) gone, and George (Russell Tovey) about to hang up his furry paws, ghost Annie (Lenora Crichlow) is going to need a couple of new supernatural beings in her life for Being Human, Series 4. The first is Tom (Michael Socha), bumped up from a guest character to series regular, will take over the resident wearwolf role. First appearing in series 3, Tom discovered that McNair, the man he thought was his father, in fact wasn’t… Not only that, he was the one who gave him the werewolf curse in the first place! Since McNair’s death, Tom has stayed in Barry and is welcomed into Honolulu Heights. Putting his nomadic life and his mission to kill all vampires (mostly!) behind him, Tom has to learn to live like a human, love like a human and fight like a human. But will he succeed?
The latest new cast member is Hal (Damien Molony), a 500 year old vampire, and the temptation for blood and carnage still rules his every waking thought. Since meeting best friends Leo (a werewolf) and Pearl (a ghost) in 1955, Hal has managed to stay off the blood by sticking to a rigid structure and keeping away from all people. Coming to Honolulu Heights is a huge disruption for Hal. And he doesn’t cope well with disruption. At first, Hal – the stand-offish, posh vampire – and Tom – the common, feral werewolf – find themselves at loggerheads, but once a mutual respect is gained, we see this odd couple become close.
Still no exact air date for Being Human Season 4, but it’s soon (i’m guessing 22nd of Jan 2012 at 9pm, but that’s not confirmed!)
See more of Hal in the video below!
Will There Be a Terra Nova Season 2?
Will Terra Nova return?
We’ve recently been getting a multitude of questions we’re about if/when Terra Nova is coming back for a 2nd season. The answer is… we don’t know yet… and might not for another couple of months due to a number of issues.
Firstly, Terra Nova is an expensive show to make, and has a fairly long production cycle. However, it got respectable viewer numbers by today’s standards, but it depends if the network (Fox) think the expense is returning enough viewers. As i’ve said many many times before on the site, TV is a business, and they are in it to make money. You could have a brilliant show, but if you’re not returning the viewing figures, you’re getting canned. It sucks, but that’s how it is.
Secondly, Fox are in an odd position this year, as an 3 of their potential biggest new drama shows haven’t aired yet. JJ Abrams’ ‘Alcatraz‘, Kiefer Sutherland’s ‘Touch‘, and Bones spin-off ‘The Finder‘ are all still to air. This leaves Fox with a bit of a dilemma… To give Terra Nova any hope of being ready for the 2012 Fall Season, they have to be back in production by April this year. It’ll be the end of Jan before all 3 of the aforementioned dramas have aired, which means Fox may need to make a budget decision on Terra Nova’s future before having a decent grasp on how all their new shows are going to fair. The very earliest Fox will likely want to make an official decision would be February, which is already leaving Terra Nova limited pre-production time.
IF Terra Nova does get renewed for Season 2, it will air in September 2012 on Sky 1.
Amy & Rory to Leave Doctor Who!
Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill to leave Doctor Who
Shes know the doctor since she was a little girl.
She’s traveled in space and time with him.
Then her boyfriend (now husband) joined her and The Doctor on their adventures…
But life in the Tardis will come to end for Amy Pond and Rory Williams next series, as Steven Moffat confirmed at a press screening Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill will leave the show in a ”heartbreaking end”, halfway through series 7 (or 33 if your old school!).
Fear not though, Matt Smith‘s 11th Doctor will be there for the whole season, and it’s thought has signed on at least until the show’s 50th anniversary in 2013. With Amy and Rory gone, The Doctor will also be looking for a new (as yet, uncast) companion to get into daring adventures with.
Although i’m sad to see Karen & Arthur go, i’m not sure how much more you could get away with putting Amy & Rory through! Plus, changing companions has always been one of the ways Doctor Who reinvents itself and keeps things fresh. Looking forward to see who The Doctor manages to pick up on his travels next!
Doctor Who, series 7 (33), is not back till Autumn 2012, however you can see The Doctor in “The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe” on Christmas Day, BBC ONE at 7pm.
