ellestrainterview with the real Cosima - the Orphan Black's science advisor
Interview with Kathryn Alexandre - Tatiana Maslany's clone double. I find it interesting that Tatiana is most like Cosima while Kathryn is most like Alison and they make such a great team together.
You may know that BBC 3 is being closed as a TV channel and moved to internet. That means the TV programmes that run on it will be only available by iPlayer and that means much less casual viewers discovering shows. This will make it harder for anything new to find an audience and many shows may not survive the move. As BBC 3 is the channel behind things many great SF&F like Being Human and In The Flesh this may mean no more cool series like that. It may also mean the end of In The Flesh even though it won the BAFTA (BBC1 will only show original programming that used to run on BBC3 that's 30 min long). That would've been a waste - the second season is even more depressingly accurate portrayal of human behaviour than the first.
I've been so overworked last week (on Friday I just crashed after I came home after 6 and slept till morning with one quick break for shower at 1 am) that I've only realised this post was still private when I got around to writing the next one. So as a bonus here's the first teaser for new series of Doctor Who coming in August (I was surprised by that date but then I remembered they school starts mid-August in UK).
