TV NEWS - Doctor Who, Sherlock and The Walking Dead (Spoilers)

The Walking Dead Season 3
The series will be 19 episodes long and feature some new characters.
Danai Gurira's character, Michonne, has been described as "...awesome. She's sexy. She's a badass." by Laurie Holden and Danai herself as "really impressive, and she brings the character to life." by Gale Anne Hurd.
David Morrissey has said that "...people are going to be blown away" by his new character, The Governor. Glen Mazzara also said"...he thinks he's the Messiah." 
Actor Chandler Riggs said that his character Carl was "...growing up. He's definitely not a kid anymore ... He's more of a solder, more part of the group."
And producer David Alpert promised that "We're going to kill so many people ... people that you care about and love".
A new clip was put online but has now been removed due to copy write but there is a picture seen above.


Doctor Who

Mark Gattis is writing a victorian-set episode for after christmas and the guest actors and some screen shots have been revieled! It is the ninth episode and it is called The Crimson Horror. See the updated episode guide here.


Dame Diana Rigg is playing Mrs Gillyflower, a woman with a dark secret known to the inhabitants of Sweetville as "the Ice Lady", who does something dastardly to new companion Clara that the Doctor (aided by a couple of old friends) has to reverse. These old friends appear to be Madame Vastra and Sontaran Strax.


Dame Diana Riggs's daughter, Rachael Stirling, is playing her daughter! She has been seen on set wearing prosthetics for a burnt face! Whats that about, Ice lady and fire daughter ?

Madame Vastra
Sontaran Strax










For those of you who don't know Dame Diana Rigg is best known for her 60's roles in On Her Majesty's Secret Service and the UK TV show The Avengers and Rachael Striling was in Snow White and the Huntsman.


Sweetville's match factory, which goes by the name of Brightwell and Hyman, is a place regarded suspiciously by the locals, and will play a part in the episode's story.


But wait there is more!!!


Also in this episode has the guest actors Catrin Stewart, David Warner, Liam Cunningham and Brendan Patricks like OMG (no i don't recognise the names either).


Okay so the girl to the left is Catrin Stewart. She played that girl in Misfits that could turn things to ice and then blew her self up by having sex with Nathans long lost brother! (what I told you it had spoilers). And this episode has an Ice Lady too! But more importantly she was the girl that was with Madame Vastra in A Good Man Goes to War half way throught the last series of doctor who!


David Warner is older and been in all the high geekness movies from Tron to Star Trek. 


Liam Cunningham is a main character from Game of Thrones and has been in loads of stuff! Apparently he has been teased to include the words "meat", "klaxon" and "Vienna".


Brendan Patricks is the guy to the right. He is from Downton Abbey.




More Pictures?:

Loving the new hat Matt! and whats with the tweed waist cote and bow tie...

What really? More Who News!
Jessica RaineYerp. However it is about a different episode.

The writer of Luther and Spooks, Neil Cross, is writing his first episode for Doctor Who. Not much is known about it but we know it will star Jessica Raine (seen right) and Dougray Scott (seen left). These pictures are not from Doctor Who. (Your a goon if you thought they were)


Jessica is from Call The Midwife and The Woman in Black.

Dougray is from Mission: Impossible II and Desperate Housewives.


And yes I used their first name not the conventional second name, get over it.

Sherlock and Sky
Sky Living will be playing host to the US show Elementary in the UK this autumn. We have been told that Jonny Lee Miller plays Holmes as an ex-pat Brit with a history of drug abuse whose father employs Lucy Liu’s live-in assistant Dr Watson to aid his recovery. Romantic complications, we’re told, ensue. 
Really Romantic complications, Shelock can't have romantic complications!! and a history of drug abuse, isn't he suppose to be a hero, a role model, what is up with this america? >:O Nice to know sky have the same idea and put it on an inconspicuous channel!

:Enter Enraged Rant Here:

In case your interested Sky have also bought Vegas and The Following which will be on Sky Atlantic and DC Comics adoption Arrow which will be on Sky1.
They Arrow looks like a rip off of hawk eye (well he came first but still), but a good one. The Following look like a aright horror thing ! Trailers Bellow (second Arrow trailer here, for more information click here). Vegas looks terrible.
Benedict Cumberbatch, everyone's favourite modem Sherlock, has a guest role in the US show The Simpsons! You may have heard of it. This will add to his roles in The Hobbit and Star Trek later this year. We think he will not however be playing Sherlock but an unknown and unconfirmed character. Benedict said:
"I was at a meeting in the same place The Simpsons is recorded and heard there was a part going in an episode. I said 'I hate to muscle in here guys but could I record it?' Next thing, I'm standing in a room with all those famous voices; Bart, Marge, Homer, Lisa."


And Finally, if a slip of the tongue courtesy of Dredd’s Karl Urba is correct then it is sort of confirmed that Benedict will be playing Gary Mitchell, a villain from the original series of Star Trek in the new Star Trek sequel. (Yes I know this is movie news but it fits better here!) Mitchell was a member of the Starfleet Academy who was exposed to a magnetic storm aboard the SS Valiant, leaving him with godlike telekinetic powers and a decidedly nasty temper. 


And that's all, sorry about all the spoilers
