News July 5th 2009 A transcription of the BBC Poetry interview on Robbie Burns is now available. July 4th 2009 There is now an information page on this site for How I Was Stolen by the Germans. July 1st 2009 Douglas Henshall confirmed this morning that he is going to to attend a charity event in his home town of Barrhead on July 11th 2009. Dougie will open the Go Greener Family Festival at 12pm at Barrhead Sports Centre and will spend time mingling with the crowd afterwards. More info about this event from gogreener.org June 22nd 2009 As confirmed by Philip Schofield on twitter last week, ITV plans to show Collision this autumn. Collision will be aired over consecutive nights, as ITV's director of television, Peter Fincham told Broadcast Now in November last year. According to a report in The Guardian today: The theory is that the show will attract a bigger audience, and be more attractive to advertisers, if it can be built over multiple nights as opposed to airing once a week. "This presentation was important for Fincham, this season really is the first that features his commissions kicking in," said one media agency executive who attended the presentation. "It is the first 'Fincham' effect, you could say, the big thing they are hanging their hopes on this autumn is Collision." Collision was Peter Fincham’s first new independent drama commission Last month Douglas Henshall left a message on this site for his fans. You can read the message here or in the guestbook.

DVD retailers have now changed the date for the DVD release of Collision from April to August 3rd 2009. ITV have not yet announced a date for broadcasting the 5 part drama. June 7th 2009 In an interview for digitalspy, Tim Haines has answered question about series 3 and the future of Primeval. When asked if Cutter could come back, he said: "Everything is possible but we're very cautious about playing that card, even though I know at the end of series one they came back and changed time. I know this sounds contradictory, but fundamentally Primeval isn't a time travel show. What would he say to fans, especially those from Germany, who were angry with Stephen’s departure and now Cutter’s demise: "It's absolutely essential for this show to communicate that there is real jeopardy for the team. I do have enormous sympathy for the fans. We spend a lot of time getting people to like our characters and then when one dies, people can get annoyed about it or feel it's wrong. But at the same time, that's what drama's about." Tim Haines also answered questions about Jenny Lewis, Stephen Hart, the Primeval film and TV Series, but emphasised that Series 4 has not yet been recommissioned.
