beccaelizabethI finished reading the Doctor Who episode guide the tutor put together for class.
It's just a little thing - 60 pages covering every episode ever (up until the current season, because the names aren't all available for that yet).
!
So, cool.
But it doesn't cover Torchwood or Sarah Jane Adventures, probably because they're only part of one week of lessons rather than the actual point.
But I figured, I could pull together that data. How hard can it be? ;-)
So... how to do it? Why ask the all knowing internets, of course...
The DW guide says "Details regarding the new series come from Doctor Who Magazine, especially the season specials, although the story descriptions are taken from the Radio Times!"
I don't happen to have the RT descriptions for Torchwood or Sarah Jane lying around. Or, actually, DWM. I've got the first three Torchwood magazines (four and subsequent are supposedly on their way, ordered online. I'm... dubious.)
So I've got in there ratings for season 2 eps 1 through 5.
Did Torchwood TV collect ratings?
Things I need to fill in the template:
The DW one goes
Season Three
- 13 x 45 minute episodes (except Episode 13); 1x72 minute Christmas Special.
- Scheduled on Saturdays, BBC1.
Producers
Executive Producers
Associate Producer
Script Editors
Photography
Casting Director
Production Managers
Production Designer
Costume Designers
Visual Effects
Visual Effects Supervisor
Make-up
Special Make-up and Prosthetics
Models & Miniatures
Incidental Music
Regular Cast
(He typoed Harkness)
and to choose a random ep for examples:
7. 42
19 May 2007, 7.15pm
Audience 7.4 million
Writer: Chris Chibnall
Director: Graeme Harper
Guest Cast: Michelle Collins (Kath McDonell); Anthony Flanagan (Orin Scannell); William Ash (Riley)
The Doctor and Martha are trapped on board a spaceship hurtling out of control towards a boiling sun. A mysterious force starts to possess the ship's crew as the Doctor races against time to uncover who's behind the vessel's sabotage.
Right, so... Torchwood. Two seasons. 13 eps each.
... now comes the point where I confess I've memorised the stories but not really noticed the other categories on there. Except Regular Cast. Which I know. I think.
ANYway...
Oh, it's half past 11 at night. Um, okay, project interruptus.
I'm sure there's lots of data on the websites and stuff.
imdb knows a lot too, except for when it's getting things wrong.
Does Wiki know stuff? Just in this context? I mean it's sod all use for serious reference, but is it accurate for fan stuff?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Torchwood_episodes looks like it has all those dates and numbers. With references filled in. That looks less shaky than usual.
... okay, must sleep, college tomorrow.
