only read if you care about england

just a warning: this post is about stuff to do with english entertainment. DO NOT read if you're not interested in this topic. if you aren't interested in it and read it anyways and are completely bored, don't go whining about it in the comments section. it was your own fault.
now. on to the main article...
1. it's somewhat official. russell brand is coming to america. he's been signed on for at least three movies that should come out in the us in 2009, including a remake of the tempest with helen miren. if you don't like him, you better get used to him.
2. st trinian's should be coming out in the united states somewhat soon. and they are most likely making a sequel.
3. i saw a video that showed filming for the third season of torchwood. it was just people running around. the people in it were: jack and gwen, someone who i was assuming was ianto, and someone who i didn't recognize? could it be a new character/love interest for one of the main characters? maybe. and is torchwood going to be any good without tosh and owen? and with it becoming more family friendly?
4. right now, for the next doctor i either want it to be patterson joseph. after over 45 years, the doctor should be played by a minority. it could celebrate barack obama(supposedly steven moffat really likes him). or i want him played by james mcavoy. he's very talented and it could get american interest in the show.
5. the third season of robin hood is supposed to start in january on bbc(yes i watch it and have been waiting for it avidly). the producers have said nothing about will/djaq coming back, which would be too bad since they were my favorite characters. but richard armitage realized in an interview that guy has a sister and she'll be a character in this season. and jonas armstrong is leaving after this season.
if you have any information on any of these topics/questions you want answered, i'll try to find answers to the best of my ability.
