Spoilage Lite - The Return
[NAFDA] The place for casting and other vague spoilers, for those who merely want to wade, not drown, in the spoiler sea. Episode titles, writers, and preview speculation in black font. Exiting cast, TV Guide and other entertainment articles and their discussion white-fonted. Hard core spoilers are not allowed.
yes, sumi...you know what the premise of the ep is, right?
Pegasus backstory. Other than that: no.
It's being reported that Doctor Who will end its run after series four, next year: [link]
The BBC would be insane to give up on Who now. If Davies et al resign, I'm pretty sure they would get new people in. Big pinch of salt.
The paper adds that Davies and other senior staff are feeling the strain of the heavy workload imposed by the show — nine months a year of 16-hour days — and plan to resign en-masse
9 months of 16 hour days? How do US shows, with seasons that are nearly twice as long, manage it?
Yeah, I think that in the US tv shows get a bit of November, part of December and then part of April, May-June - off. Perhaps like the rest of US, American tv crews don't expect much in the way of vacation time and are grateful for the regular work?
Yeah, I think that in the US tv shows get a bit of November, part of December and then part of April, May-June - off.
Production crews usually get most of May, June and (somtimes) part of July off. Generally speaking, writers start work after Memorial Day and work straight through until Christmas break. (Though there is the usual Thanksgiving weekend and random holidays here and there.) After the New Year, they go back to work and work through the end of April/beginning of May.
Of course, this year, it's very different. I think the Heroes writing staff had two weeks off in between seasons.
Because of the new Origins thing?
Possibly. But a lot of returning shows seemed to start back to work earlier than usual this year. I assume it's due to the possible WGA strike.
