River Song’s Last Words

Cover artwork, cast and story details are today revealed for The Death and Life of River Song: Last Words, a brand-new box set of apocalyptic audio drama, due for release August 2024. 

River Song may be the Doctor’s wife, but there’s so much more to her than that. Alex Kingston played the time-travelling archaeologist on Doctor Who between 2008 and 2015, and has reprised the role in many Big Finish audio dramas since, exploring what River gets up to when she’s not with her Time Lord husband.

The first box set in her new series, The Death and Life of River Song: Last Words sees River, after cheating death as a digital consciousness uploaded to the Library, brought back to life in a cloned body and sent to Earth in the future, not long before it’s set to be ravaged by solar flares.

Joining Kingston in this epic story’s cast is Greg Wise – who listeners may know from The Crown and Sense and Sensibility, as well as the 2021 series of Strictly Come Dancing – as ultra-rich tycoon Garrison Clay. He’s the man behind River’s temporary resurrection, and he has a mission for her.

And, Jamie Parker – best known for playing Harry Potter in the West End show Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, as well as roles in TV series Treadstone and The Crown – plays Sam Avner, a mysterious man who becomes an ally to River.

The Death and Life of River Song: Last Words is now available for pre-order exclusively here, as a limited edition four-CD box set (plus digital download) for £29.99, or as a digital download only for £22.99.

Wrenched from her digital afterlife in the Library, River Song finds herself on sixty-first century Earth, resurrected in a clone body. Billionaire tech mogul Garrison Clay has a mystery to solve, and he’s selected River as the person to solve it.

Armed with only her sonic screwdriver and a fake ID, River heads out into a world soon to be ravaged by solar flares... where danger stalks her at every turn.

The story is divided into four episodes, or books, all scripted by Robert Valentine:

Book 1 – Apokalypsis

Book 2 – Fate & Fatality

Book 3 – The Black Hours

Book 4 – Book of the Dead

These four books together, as well as revealing an important chapter in River’s (after)life, serve as a prequel to the 1975 TV story The Ark in Space, with humanity preparing to flee the doomed Earth. Robert Whitelock guest stars as Lazar and Christine Kavanagh as Vira – characters originally played on television by Kenton Moore and Wendy Williams.

Also on the cast list of Last Words are Jane Booker, Shogo Miyakita, Jamie Zubairi, Jacob Daniels, Andrew James Spooner, Glen McCready, Issy Van Randwyck, and Nicholas Boulton.

Producer David Richardson said: “Robert Valentine has done something remarkable with this four-hour drama, which tells the story of the last days of planet Earth before it is destroyed by solar flares, a story told from the perspective of a woman temporarily brought back from the dead. It’s heart-breaking and exciting and doom-laden and, perhaps when you least expect it, uplifting and inspiring.”

Writer Robert Valentine added: “Originally, I thought I was going to be writing the final ever River Song story. Quickly I realised that I wasn’t, but I thought it would be fun to write something that feels like it’s the last we’ll ever see of River, and actually give that problem to her. Her life is usually intertwined with the Doctor’s, so I thought, what is her life like after her great relationship is over?

“And, the brief was to do a prequel to The Ark in Space, which is a Doctor Who classic, at the same time. When I went back and rewatched it, I realised that I wouldn't be allowed on this ship, I would have been one of the ones left behind. So I thought, let's give River a mission that leads into The Ark in Space, but with sympathy for those people who aren't on the Ark.”

Big Finish listeners can also pre-order a bundle with Last Words as well as Volumes 2 and 3 of The Death and Life of River Song, which are both due for release in 2025, for just £80 (collector’s edition CDs + downloads) or £66 (downloads only).

All the above prices include the special pre-order discount and are subject to change after general release. Please note: the collector’s edition CD box sets are strictly limited to 1,250 copies and will not be repressed.

Big Finish is currently operating a digital-first release schedule. The mail-out of collector’s edition CDs may be delayed due to factors beyond our control, but all purchases of this release unlock a digital copy that can be immediately downloaded or played on the Big Finish app from the release date.

Gabrielle Scharnitzky nella nuova serie TV di Roland Emmerich: "Una storia di libertà e destino"

Gabrielle Scharnitzky nella nuova serie TV di Roland Emmerich: "Una storia di libertà e destino". L’attrice Gabrielle Scharnitzky è nella nuova serie tv Those about to Die, diretta da Roland Emmerich. La serie esplora un lato dell’antica Roma mai raccontato prima: il business dell'intrattenimento delle masse, che offre agli spettatori ciò che desiderano di più, il sangue e lo sport. Parlando del suo personaggio, Gabrielle dice: “Sono catturata dai pirati e venduta come schiava alla famiglia di una ricca coppia di patrizi, il console Marsus (Rupert Penry-Jones) e sua moglie Antonia (Gabriella Pession), entrambi spregiudicati e crudeli nella loro sete di potere. Drusilla ha curato e cresciuto la loro figlia Cornelia (Alice Lamanna). È solo il profondo amore di Drusilla per questa ragazza che le permette di superare le infinite difficoltà sotto il dominio abusivo di Antonia e Marsus. Dopo aver perso la speranza di essere liberata dalla schiavitù, Drusilla porta avanti il suo destino con grande dignità” Gabrielle ha recentemente partecipato all'evento Meet & Greet del Festival di Berlino, organizzato da Crawford Talents, Red Carpet Actors, Black Universe, The Actors Home di Luci Lenox, che mira a creare una rete tra attori, registi e produttori. “Il networking è uno dei compiti più importanti per ogni attore, non importa se alle prime armi o se già lavora con successo nel mondo del lavoro - dice Gabrielle - Dobbiamo entrare in contatto con registi, direttori, direttori di casting, colleghi attori. Dobbiamo conoscerci personalmente, condividere, scambiare, conversare, ottenere informazioni su nuovi progetti, ma soprattutto avere la possibilità di presentarsi di persona e mostrare chi siamo al di là di curriculum, foto e show reel. Soprattutto i giovani attori devono avere la possibilità di farlo, perché non possono ancora offrire un'opera compiuta. Quindi è il loro impegno, la loro passione, il loro fuoco che deve essere visto e i festival cinematografici sono una piattaforma perfetta per presentarsi, lasciare una buona e duratura impressione e possibilmente creare una bella collaborazione in futuro”. Per quanto riguarda i progetti futuri, dice: “Ci sono diversi progetti in vista. Tuttavia, non sono ancora in grado di parlarne. Ma vi assicuro che dal punto di vista lavorativo sarà un 2024 entusiasmante”. Gabrielle Scharnitzky, di nazionalità tedesca, ha lavorato alle serie tv Devils, Shantaram, Treadstone. Al cinema ha lavorato in Ragazze interrotte e Anime veloci.... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

Treadstone is now on UK’s Amazon Prime 👍

Brian looks so badass in it!

[fuforthought]

I’m a massive fan of the Bourne trilogy (there’s a fourth and fifth movie, you say? I don’t recall). In fact it would be high in my “Top trilogies of all time” list (if it was an actual trilogy). So the idea of a tv show spin-off makes sense to me.

And this looks good. Maybe really good. Spies, martial arts, secret government projects... I’m all over it. I could have done with it being on another network; Prime or Hulu maybe. But I’ll take whatever’s given to me.

Whumpiest Whump list

So, I was bored at work I love my followers and thus decided to make this awesome list of TV episodes that show an exceptional amount of whump. Also, I sorted it into categories (You know i love lists and categories, right?)

Now these are the whumpiest whump episodes I could think of. You can just pick any episode and and your whump cravings shall be satisfied. But please feel free to let me know of any more whumpiest episodes and I will add them to the list. I am sure there are a lot more.

Also, at the end I put some shows that have an overall good amount of whump.

I may have overestimated how many whump heavy episodes there actually are, because this list got very, very long. That's why I put it under the cut. Be warned. It really is a long list

If there were a reason to switch or add to your Netflix subscription over to Amazon Prime Video then this would be one of them…

Treadstone is still active and it’s bigger than we thought! International assassins are awakened randomly in the past and present. But why?

Treadstone was the genesis of Blackbriar which Matt Damon exposed in the Bourne movies and it turns out this project was bigger…
