DAVID TENNANT AND RUSSELL T DAVIES ATTENDING COMIC-CON 2009

- BBC hosts Doctor Who talent for their first ever appearance at Comic-Con -

New York, NY – June 17, 2009 – In support of BBC AMERICA's U.S. premiere of four Doctor Who Specials, the Doctor himself, David Tennant, will appear alongside writer/executive producer Russell T Davies at this year's Comic-Con in San Diego. They will take part in a Doctor Who panel along with executive producer Julie Gardner and director Euros Lyn, Sunday July 26, 10:00-11:00am PT.

David will travel to Comic-Con, fresh from the Doctor Who set, having shot his final scenes as the tenth Time Lord. He and fellow panelists will discuss the latest incarnation of television’s longest running science fiction series and take questions from the floor. There will also be exclusive sneak peeks from the upcoming specials.

Fans can visit the BBC AMERICA booth (#3629) to capture their own photograph alongside part of the Doctor Who set - as well as purchase exclusive merchandise including David Tennant figures.

Fans of BBC AMERICA's highest rated show ever, Torchwood, which will have just completed the five-part special, Children of Earth, will get to chat with the stars and makers of the show first-hand. Just 48 hours after the last episode, the show makes a return visit to Comic-Con with a panel featuring star John Barrowman, writer/executive producer Russell T Davies, executive producer Julie Gardner and director Euros Lyn, Sunday July 26, 2:15-3:45pm PT.

As part of the same panel, Sunday July 26, 2:15-3:45pm PT, catch the talent from BBC AMERICA’s most buzzed about new sci fi drama, Being Human. Creator and writer, Toby Whithouse, plus lead actors Russell Tovey, Lenora Crichlow and Aidan Turner, talk about the inspiration for the show and what it's like to play three twenty-somethings with secret double-lives – as a werewolf, a vampire and a ghost. All four panelists will be signing exclusively at the BBC AMERICA booth, Saturday July 25, 3:00-4:00pm PT.

Cult comedy favorite and BAFTA-nominated, The Mighty Boosh, comes to Comic-Con for the first time to celebrate the airing of all three seasons on Adult Swim, and the BBC’s DVD release, just two days before the convention begins. Inspired by the Perrier Comedy Award-winning live comedy show, creators-stars Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding, along with actors Michael Fielding, Rich Fulcher and Dave Brown, will be on stage to discuss the magical, bizarre and exciting world of The Boosh, Friday, July 24, 4:45-5:45pm. The hit UK comedy series follows crazy zookeepers Howard Moon and Vince Noir and was described by The San Jose Mercury News as "an acid-trip fantasy-comedy [that] is seriously deranged and seriously funny."

Fans can also catch exclusive BBC AMERICA screenings during the convention with back to back episodes of Doctor Who and Torchwood. Key talent from both shows introduce the last episode of the five part series Torchwood: Children of Earth and a U.S. premiere viewing of Doctor Who: Planet of the Dead, the first of four specials starring David Tennant.

Underground Toys (#3949) will be selling their entire Doctor Who and Torchwood lines of toys and novelty items. In addition, this year they will once again introduce new limited edition Comic-Con action figures that have never been seen before.

I need help (not the first time this has been said ). There will be a Con exclusive season 1 set of Dollhouse. This can be pre ordered from the 6th July from Foxstore.com to pick up at the con. Unfortunatly, the site doesn't accept foreign orders, so...could any kind soul going please order me one and bring the reciept? Together with the cash, the wonderful person who does this for me will be rewarded with a choice of either a UK Doctor Who exclusive or a sketch card by a very well known artist.
Many Thanks.

Graham-

I would be happy to do this for you. Send me an email and we can work out the details.

Chris- I love you and want your babies

I wanted to let everyone know that I will be putting together a Wednesday night get together for any cardtalkers interested. It will be at a pub within easy walking distance of the convention center after Preview Night lets out. I have not decided where yet, but I'll be getting more info out soon.

Only 5 more weeks!!!

Graham - While I have always been a sucker for an English accent, I think Sheri may have a problem with that.

The Mighty Boosh! I love the Mighty Boosh, and I never thought I would get the chance to see them in person! Amazing!

Also, I know what I will be doing Sunday now -- trying to get in line for the DW autograph session and meet Russell T Davies

....And pancakes.....And donuts....Looks like all the food groups are covered....

That will be enough out of you, wiseguy! I will also be putting together an evening gathering for Card Talkers, as I need to have some shorts with Graham! It will take place on Friday evening, so it will not conflict with the gatherings Harris and Chris have planned, so make plans to attend them all! It's a great place to share info on where to find cool stuff at the show you may have missed, and just hang out and see old friends or even meet some new ones. Hope to see everyone out there! I will post the details as we get a bit closer to the show.

Graham - I would be happy to get you one as long as I can find it on the foxstore website - please remind me on July 5th and I will do so the next day - please email me at weebeecards@yahoo.com on July 5th

Lucasfilm Ltd. and G4 are joining forces for a milestone in San Diego Comic-Con International's 40-year history -- the first-ever, exclusive television broadcast of a presentation from the massive pop culture convention. The Star Wars Spectacular! will air Saturday July 25th at 2:00pm ET/PT only on G4, and will feature never-before-seen footage, breaking news, surprise announcements, guest stars and more. In addition, G4 will present three hours of live coverage from the Comic-Con floor, beginning at 4:00pm ET/PT.

Traditionally, details surrounding Lucasfilm's primary panel presentation are closely guarded secrets, with only 6,500 lucky on-site fans allowed access to the wealth of coveted information from a galaxy far, far away. But this year, G4 -- the network that delivers all of the latest and greatest news on comic books, games, technology and pop culture -- is offering TV viewers the one-of-a-kind opportunity to share the excitement with an exclusive broadcast of the panel. G4's Attack of the Show hosts Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn will join Lucasfilm's Steve Sansweet and a galaxy of guests from Star Wars: The Clone Wars and beyond -- including supervising director Dave Filoni, and voice talent from the show -- to provide an insider look at the Star Wars universe, with never-before-seen footage and a LIVE table read of an exclusive new Clone Wars script.

In addition, fans are invited to participate in the panel itself by submitting Clone Wars questions through a special G4 micro-site. Questions will be answered during the live presentation by Dave Filoni and other Clone Wars creatives!

2009's Comic-Con International also marks another Lucasfilm milestone -- the launch of the all-new Star Wars Stories Project. Fans of the Saga will have the unique opportunity to become a part of the Star Wars universe by contributing to Lucasfilm's own historical archive. Soliciting movie memories and nostalgia, the Star Wars Stories Project invites fans to share their own tales of fandom through video testimonials. In addition to online submissions, fans will have the opportunity to record their stories at Lucasfilm's pavilion on the Comic-Con floor.

Fans are invited to upload their fan stories at g4tv.com/comiccon.

anyone knows if Hayden Panettiere (Heroes) will be attending at SDCC, I tought she was gonna sign at Official Pix booth, but I don't find any info on their website anymore...

Warner Home Video has also announced it will screen Green Lantern: First Flight at Comic-Con International in San Diego on Thursday, July 23 at 8 p.m. (PT). A panel for the film will be held on Friday, July 24.
