Torchwood star Eve Myles is pregnant



What's On TV.co.uk
Torchwood star Eve Myles has announced that she is expecting her first child.

The 31-year-old Welsh actress decided to try for a baby after filming a new five-part special of the Doctor Who spin-off, Children of the Earth, which airs on BBC1 later this year.

"I've wanted to do this for such a long time, but I kept getting job after job after job," said Eve, who plays former police officer Gwen Cooper in the cult series.

"I thought, if I put this off any more I'm going to be 65. My partner and I decided this year was going to be the year, and we were blessed that it happened so quickly.

"It's the best thing that ever happened to me – we're over the moon."

Eve, who is three and a half months' pregnant, joked about the fact that her character Gwen gave birth in series two – to an alien.

"We went for a scan and my mum was there," she recalled. "And my mum went: 'No, it's not a Nostrovite! It's a real Welsh human!' But of course it crosses my mind – I hope it's not an alien!"

Eve added that motherhood will not make her quit her role in Torchwood.

"I hope we get a new series," she said. "I'd really like to play Gwen as a mother. It's not like I have to really save the world – I just have to sit in make-up!"

Doctor Who fan's Dalek goes down a storm



Stanley - Wakefield Express
By Louise Hall

Youngsters in Stanley will be scurrying behind the sofa - after a Dalek invaded the garden of a local Doctor Who fan.
Doctor Who enthusiast Alan Clark has out done his own previous attempts at building the notorious sci-fi foe by producing a massive life-size version of the fiercest dalek around.

This is the third Dalek built by Mr Clark, 47, who lives in Stanley, and is also the most ambitious of all his back-garden creations.

Mr Clark, of Lake Lock Grove, said: "When I built the first Dalek I got really into watching Doctor Who and when the new series started I was very disappointed in the Red Supreme Dalek they decided use in the last episodes.

"It didn't have much about it and it was a bit of a let down to be honest."

What do you think? Have your say in the comments section below.

After discovering a sketch on the internet of the never before seen Dalek Storm that was designed in the 1980s by BBC artist Rocky Marshall, Mr Clark set about building his very own model.

Now the Dalek stands at an impression six-foot tall and even speaks with the help of a built-in synthesizer.

Mr Clark said: "I think my neighbours are used to seeing daleks in the back garden by now. I'm hoping that the BBC will take notice and maybe use it in the new series of Doctor Who."
