27th March 2012 Roundup

1. Channel Five orders another Celeb Big Brother. 


It's been announced today that another series of Celebrity Big Brother will air before the end of 2012. 




The original order for Big Brother was for one Celebrity series and one non-celebrity series a year, but due to the massive ratings and critical success of the celebrity one, the channel have ordered another series to be shown before the years out. The non-celebrity series has been cut back to 10 weeks to accommodate the new celebrity series, and that's the one I was gonna apply for. 


2. A new series of Torchwood is still possible. 


So says CEO of Starz. 







Last series, Miracle Day was co-produced between the BBC and Starz. It wasn't great. But I need my fix of Gwen Cooper. She is my life. 


Once the series ended, show creator Russell T Davies said it would be a while before any more Torchwood would be made. Today CEO of Starz, Chris Albercht told a newspaper that there's every chance another series will be made, it's just up to Russell when he's ready and got time to do it. 


Stars of the show John Barrowman and Eve Myles have both said they'd jump at the chance to return their characters of Jack and Gwen, and I wouldn't mind another series too, but I would like a good story that doesn't drag on like last time and a story worth telling.
