SCI FI PI


When you say 'Captain Jack', some foolish people may respond with 'Jack Sparrow!'.

But not the hardcore Torchwood fans - for them, there is only one Captain Jack - Captain Jack Harkness, the immortal, happy go lucky (most of the time) adventurer who leads the Torchwood team against several universes full of bad guys. Never to be outdone by that time-travelling interloper, Doctor Who, Captain Jack has garnered a legion of fans, as has the actor who playes him - John Barrowman.

We've managed to snare this interview from the BBC Worldwide where all things Jack are revealed, and by all, we mean 'all'. So now, when someone says to you - 'you don't know Jack!' you may reply, 'no, sir, I beg to differ - I do know Jack'.

It’s often painstaking work, but it also involves the thrill of going back to the original celluloid, shot decades earlier. Sci Fi spoke to the men at the coal face of the most exciting revolution in Hi Def viewing, about what it was like to transform one of Sci Fi’s great marques, and what we can expect from them (and Star Trek) in the future.

Queen Of Sci Fi - Amanda Tapping

INTERVIEWS

Sunday, December 2

by Captain

WE ALL KNOW SAMANTHA CARTER OF STARGATE BUT DO WE REALLY KNOW AMANDA TAPPING? STRANGE QUESTIONS ABOUND FOR THE WOMAN WHO HAS BEEN IN MORE SCI FI THAN ANY OTHER.

The phenomenal success of Stargate:SG1 and Stargate:Atlantis is due to many things. Good writing, good casting and sensible networks backing Sci Fi in prime time. Also - good casting. Amanda Tapping has played the character of Samantha Carter since the pilot, and now continues the role after 10 seasons of SG:1 with a full season of Atlantis.
