Doctor Who: Ray Cusick, Designer Of The Dalek Dies, Aged 84

25 February 2013 9:01 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Ray Cusick, the man who brought us the iconic deign of the classic Doctor Who nemesis The Daleks has died peacefully in his sleep, aged 84.

Cusick designed the unfeeling mega villains back in 1963 when Terry Nation’s script for the Who serial “The Daleks” called for him to design a frightening new alien. What he came up with was the shuttle cock shaped robots with what looks like a plunger protruding from them which is now one of the most well known and iconic designs in the history of Science Fiction. He later admitted that the entire design was chosen because it made it far easier to fit a human controller inside.

In an interview with Doctor Who Confidential Cusick had the following to say about the evolution of his creation:

“When I’m asked what I was inspired by I suppose it was really a system of logic because »

'Russell Howard's Good News' voted BBC Three's best ever show

9 February 2013 4:39 AM, PST | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »

Russell Howard's Good News has been voted by Digital Spy users as the best ever BBC Three show.

Over 10,000 readers voted in our poll, which was held to celebrate the channel turning 10 years old today (February 9).

Comedian Howard's topical news show beat off stiff competition to take 23.6% of the overall vote.

In second place was runaway sitcom success Gavin & Stacey, which took 19.1%.

Further back were Being Human (7.6%), Little Britain (7%) and Torchwood (6.7%).

Doctor Who Confidential, Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps and The Mighty Boosh just missed out on the top five.

Speaking to Digital Spy last year, Howard admitted that he feels tremendous pressure when working on Good News.

"My personal life suffers," he said of filming the show. "If you do something that has your name on it, it has to be good.

"It's like an extension of your dissertation. I've not worked as hard on anything since being at university. »

The Fades, Pulling: BBC Three shows that should return - Friday Fiver

8 February 2013 6:37 AM, PST | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »

BBC Three called time on Being Human yesterday, bringing an end to the channel's most credible hit after five successful series.

The ending of the supernatural drama inevitably led to outcry from fans and the usual slew of complaints about BBC Three valuing tacky documentaries and trash over quality drama and entertainment.

We're not entirely sure if that argument stacks up, but we can't possibly deny that the channel has been a bit hasty in the past with lowering the axe. So for this week's Friday Fiver, we've picked a handful of shows that deserve a second chance.

The Fades

It's not very often that a show wins a BAFTA, but fails to get a second series. There must have been some awkward meetings in Zai Bennett's BBC Three head office after the show he culled and that he claimed failed to "engage" walked away with the 'Best Drama' crown. »

'Being Human': Is it the right time for the show to end?

7 February 2013 3:57 AM, PST | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »

The news this morning that Being Human will end after its current fifth series was obviously upsetting for the millions of fans of the BBC Three cult hit.

BBC Three turns 10 this weekend and Toby Whithouse's supernatural series is arguably the channel's proudest and most successful drama project across the last decade.

[The Being Human cast in 2013]

One Digital Spy reader perhaps summed up fans' feelings well in a simple comment on the news story: "Nnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Quite.

Unlike previous BBC Three cult shows that have been axed (The Fades, Doctor Who Confidential), the move to end Being Human appears to be a consensus decision with show creator and writer Toby Whithouse.

Whithouse has described the original concept of Being Human as "preposterous" and lauded the BBC for its "unprecedented level of creative latitude" and support for the show over the last five years. He also suggests that the series ending will allow room for similar shows to blossom. »
