It’s somewhat a contradiction in terms to hear of the British Broadcasting Corporation setting up a division in Los Angeles, but it’s happening anyway. Jane Tranter, the executive who was in charge of such hits as the revamped Physician Who and Life on Mars is spearheading the effort.

It’s a good idea and long overdue. BBC programming is incredibly popular here in the says (at first due to PBS and now due to cable, particularly BBC America). With this in mind, the Beeb can now have more content take place directly in the United States. Personally, I find it unfair with regards to Physician Who that the Doctor seems stuck in Cardiff all the time.

This move also likely means that the BBC will be using more American writers and/or actors within their content. If Joss Whedon did some work for the BBC, then Ripper might finally be made into a series.

Is it just me, or does the phrase “A Sci Fi Original” kind of make you cringe? They use it a lot when promoting the unique Saturday night movies, and let’s be honest, a lot of them are really bad. Rick Schroder is hoping to change all that. He’s signed on with RHI Entertainment to direct Hellhounds. Scott Elrod gets the starring role. He’ll play Kleitos, a Greek warrior, who leads his men in a battle against the hellhounds of Hades in an effort to rescue his bride from the Underworld. It appears they nixed the idea to have S.S. Doomtrooper make a cameo.

The gig makes a lot of sense for Schroder. He’s been slowly building up his directing resume with music videos and the feature Black Cloud. He also has a long history with RHI. They were the ones behind Lonesome Dove. I don’t know if it’s resentment over the cancellation of Stargate Atlantis, or if I have finally just seen one too many bad movies on Sci Fi Saturday, but I have trouble giving this one the benefit of the doubt. The best thing I have the ability to say about it at this point is that it sounds like a superior idea than Aztec Rex, but then, that’s not saying a whole lot. That said, I’ll still probalby end up watching it. I just can’t look away from Sci Fi Saturday. So here’s hoping Schroder can buck the trend.

Filed under: Industry, Reality-Free, Burn Notice

I like to think that I read more than the average bear, and I certainly have my favorites. I’ve been counting down the days to the new Neal Stephenson novel, Anathem, since a release date was announced. That being stated, I’ve never really been lured in by any of the TV tie-in books. However, a guest article at the LA Times site by Tod Goldberg has left me curious about Burn Notice: The Fix.

In the linked article, Goldberg details the thought process behind him making the jump to television tie-ins. He has an interesting perspective and it makes for a good read. Among other things, Goldberg was worried that writing a tie-in might sully his career. One of the things that turned the tide was the fact that he’s a massive fan of Burn Notice. He actually makes a great comparison, saying, “It’s smart, funny, visually arresting and has the tone and style of my favorite Elmore Leonard novels.” Why yes, it is. Goldberg’s first foray into tie-ins is available now.

Our Monday morning roundup of a half dozen things Television Squad readers - and Television fans in general - will be speaking about this week.

1. Democratic National Convention. Some viewers will be saying “hey, I’m interested in what Obama and Biden have to state,” while others are saying “hey, this is interrupting my favorite show!” (All this week on various stations, including CNN, MSNBC, FOX News, and C-SPAN.)

2. The late night shows return. Finally, Letterman, Leno, Conan and the others are back after vacations and the Olympics. All except Carson Daly, of course.

3. The Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon. Laaaadeeee! Is Ed McMahon going to cohost this year? (Sunday starting at 9pm on various stations - check local listings.)

4. The new cast of Dancing with the Stars revealed. I still want to see Andy Dick on this show. (Unveiled on Good Morning America this morning…actually, probably right about now.)

5. The U.S. Open. It’s astonishing how much this is on, taking up the entire programming schedule on USA Network. But that’s a good thing! (All week on USA, from 11am to 6pm, then from 7pm to late night.)

6. The season premiere of Greek. The horrible summer is almost over, Labor Day is here, and the new fall season has begun. (Tuesday at 9 on ABC Family.)
