DIGITAL SPY: 'Sherlock' Benedict Cumberbatch Q&A: 'I want this character to evolve'


Friday, Dec 30 2011
By Morgan Jeffery

[NOTE: Sherlock season one has an encore run in the US on PBS beginning Sunday, January 15, 2012 at 10/9C. Season two premieres in the UK returns to BBC One on January 1 at 8.10pm.]


... Q: Are you excited about tackling the most iconic stories in the Holmes canon?


Benedict Cumberbatch: "Yeah, very, very excited! There's a weight of expectation, but it's brilliant, because those are the [stories] that everyone is most familiar with. Again, there's trepidation and [you feel] a responsibility because people have a very set idea in their minds of what those stories are - what the outcome is, the relationships...

"But the scripts I've read have been fantastic. They're just brilliantly imaginative, engaging and witty. They're utterly loyal to the intention of the original, but are thoroughly fresh and perky. So any fears I had were allayed instantly..."

SCIFI AND TV TALK: Q & A With Merlin's Bradley James


by Steve Eramo
December 30, 2011


At one time or another, most men are faced with trying to measure up to their father’s expectations. That is sometimes easier said than done, especially when others are involved. In BBC’s Merlin, Prince Arthur Pendragon has been trained to fight since birth, and his father, King Uther Pendragon, plans for his son to one day take over as the ruler of Camelot. Much to their surprise, that day comes earlier than expected in the show’s fourth season. With his servant, protector, friend (and magician) Merlin by his side, Arthur must now look after the well-being after every man, woman and child in his kingdom and protect them from those scheming to end his reign by using magic against him.

Since the first episode of Merlin, actor Bradley James has delivered a convincing and thoroughly enjoyable performance as Arthur. Following in the footsteps of his series costar, Colin Morgan (Merlin), James has done a BBC Press Q & A to talk about his character’s story arc in the show’s fourth season, which has its North American premiere on Friday, January 6th @ 10:00 p.m. EST/PST on America’s Syfy channel, and Saturday, January 7th @ 8:00 p.m. EST/PST on Canada’s SPACE Channel...



... Q: Another important addition is Agravaine (Nathaniel Parker). Has he brought something extra to Merlin?

Bradley James: "Definitely. Very early on, the audience becomes aware that Agravaine’s allegiance is to Morgana [Katie McGrath]. Naturally, Arthur is completely unaware of this, which creates great dramatic tension. Someone has to play dumb – and as we’ve come to find out in Merlin, it's usually Arthur! But it also adds to the drama of the series that someone so close to Arthur can be the one that digs the knife in and twists it. As far as Arthur is concerned, his mother's brother is someone to be trusted implicitly. But the audience can see the cloaked dagger. Nathaniel Parker is very lively as Agravaine and has a great, dark look..."

17TH PRECINCT - VIDEO: PILOT

Created by Battlestar Galactica's Ronald D. Moore for the NBC 2011-2012 season, this science fiction/fantasy pilot was not picked up. It has a flavor of Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files - and also a flavor of Battlestar Galactica, with so many of that series' cast involved in this project, including Jamie Bamber, James Callis, Tricia Helfer and Caprica's Esai Morales.

And, as it was partially filmed in Vancouver, BC, Canada, there are some familiar Stargate alums in the cast as well, including Heather Doerksen, Robert Moloney, Don Thompson, Doug Abrahams, and (I think) Allison Hossack.

"Oil, electricity, coal ... the power that drives modern society. But what if science had never been invented? What if we relied on .. magic? What if plants and fire powered our world? And what if the police solved crimes in ways that we can't imagine? This is 17th Precinct."

Which takes place in San Francisco - uh, Excelsior.

Cast includes Tricia Helfer, West Wing's Stockard Channing, Jamie Bamber, James Callis, Eamonn Walker, Matt Long, Heather Doerksen, Quinn Lord, Robert Moloney, The Killing's Brandon Jay McLaren and Valin Shinyei.

SANCTUARY - SHOW PATROL: AMANDA TAPPING TEASES SEASON FOUR FINALE - FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2011 AT 10/9C ON SYFY

'Sanctuary' wraps Season 4 with 'final reckoning'


By Curt Wagner
December 30, 2011

If you thought Helen Magnus made a shocking play in the first part of the “Sanctuary" Season 4 finale, wait until you see what show does in "Sanctuary for None: Part 2," airing at 9 p.m. Dec. 30 on Syfy.

Star and producer Amanda Tapping said Magnus's latest surprise play is the "final reckoning" for the Sanctuary team.

If you're caught up with events, Will (Robin Dunne) currently is being forced to work with SCIU director Greg Addison (Brian Markinson) while Bigfoot (Christopher Heyerdahl) has decided to remain in the abnormal homeland and team with rebel leader Caleb (guest star Gil Bellows). Henry (Ryan Robbins), Tesla (Jonathon Young) and Kate (Agam Darshi) are sided firmly with Magnus, even though they doubt her move to expose the Sanctuary to the public was wise.

In tonight’s episode, Magnus and Caleb still are struggling to keep the abnormal homeland safe from SCIU and the other human organizations that would see it destroyed. Tapping said it was interesting working with guest star Bellows.

“He is such a Zen and really lovely guy. He is so sweet and he was so happy to be on our set … [but] he plays this dastardly villain you love to hate,” she said. “We’d give each other a hug and then launch into a fistfight, so it was good...”
