Russell Tovey To Join Torchwood?

Look away right now if you have NOT seen 'The End Of Time - Part 2'! There. Done. You can't say I didn't warn you.
Anyway, in the latest Doctor Who Magazine (issue #417) John Barrowman hinted that Russell Tovey as Alonso Frame may be in line to join the Torchwood team for the show's fourth series. He said, in a joint interview with Tovey, "What I'd love, what I think would be great, is if Midshipman Frame became Jack's companion in Torchwood. He's the perfect companion for Jack."

Fans who have already seen 'The End Of Time - Part 2' will already know that a scene involving both Captain Jack Harkness and Midshipman Alonso Frame (set on the planet "Zaggit Zaggo", according to RTD) also strongly suggested that the character - originally from 'The Voyage Of The Damned' episode - would become something more than just another cameo appearance. Also, those of you who have read The Writer's Tale book by Russell T Davies and Benjamin Cook will know that Tovey, in the words of John Barrowman, "had a big effect" on Russell T and considering the filming months of Being Human (which Tovey is a lead star of) and Torchwood, it is certainly possible.

Though whether it is true, we'll have to wait for some sort of announcement from the BBC.

Eleventh Doctor Audio Story

It appears that BBC Audiobooks have commissioned a new audio exclusive story. The story - written by James Goss (the writer of many other Doctor Who and Torchwood audios and books) - is apparently called 'The Hounds of Artemis'. The title suggests there will be dogs and the mythical-type name of "Artemis" which may suggest a curse of some sort, so maybe the story includes werewolves?

We don't have much information about this audiobook but we do know that the possible release date is April 8th 2010 and features The Eleventh Doctor and [presumably also features] Amy Pond.
