TDP 1462: For Your Consideration 22 Atlantis - The Lost Empire
2026/04/13
https://m.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?sid=tindogpodcast&_pgn=1&isRefine=true&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l49496 Atlantis: The Lost Empire is a 2001 American animated science fiction adventure film directed by Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise, produced by Don Hahn, and written by Tab Murphy. Produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation, it stars Michael J. Fox, James Garner, Cree Summer, Don Novello, Phil Morris, Claudia Christian, Jacqueline Obradors, Florence Stanley, David Ogden Stiers, John Mahoney, Jim Varney, Corey Burton and Leonard Nimoy. Set in 1914, the film follows young linguist Milo Thatch, who gains possession of a sacred book, which he believes will guide him and a crew of mercenaries to the lost city of Atlantis. Development of the film began after production had finished on The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996). Instead of another musical, directors Trousdale and Wise, producer Hahn, and screenwriter Murphy decided to do an adventure film inspired by the works of Jules Verne. Atlantis: The Lost Empire was notable for adopting the distinctive visual style of comic book artist Mike Mignola, one of the film's production designers. The film made greater use of computer-generated imagery (CGI) than any of Disney's previous traditionally animated features and remains one of the few to have been shot in anamorphic format. Linguist Marc Okrand constructed an Atlantean language specifically for use in the film. James Newton Howard provided the film's musical score. The film was released at a time when audience interest in animated films was shifting away from traditional animation toward films with full CGI. Atlantis: The Lost Empire premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, on June 3, 2001, and went into its general release on June 15. The film received mixed reviews from critics. Budgeted at around $90–120 million, Atlantis grossed over $186 million worldwide, $84 million of which was earned in North America; its lackluster box office response was identified as a result of being released in competition with Shrek, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, The Fast and the Furious and Dr. Dolittle 2. As a result of the film's box office failure, Disney cancelled a planned spin-off animated television series, Team Atlantis; an underwater Disneyland attraction; and a volcanic Magic Kingdom attraction based on it. Atlantis was nominated for several awards, including seven Annie Awards, and won Best Sound Editing at the 2002 Golden Reel Awards. The film was released on VHS and DVD on January 29, 2002, and on Blu-ray on June 11, 2013. Despite its initial reception, reception in later years became favorable and has given Atlantis a cult following[5] and reappraisal from critics as a mistreated classic, due in part to Mignola's unique artistic influence.[6][7] A direct-to-video sequel, Atlantis: Milo's Return, was released in 2003. Plot In 1914 Washington, D.C., archaeo-linguist Milo Thatch obsesses over finding the legendary lost city of Atlantis, believed to have sunk thousands of years ago. His employers ridicule his theories, but he gains an unexpected ally in eccentric millionaire Preston B. Whitmore, a friend of Milo's deceased adventurer grandfather who also sought the city. Determined to honor his old friend's quest, Whitmore recruits Milo for an expedition to Atlantis, having recently uncovered the Shepherd's Journal, an ancient Atlantean manuscript that contains directions to the lost city. Aboard the submarine Ulysses, Milo meets his teammates: Commander Lyle Tiberius Rourke, Lieutenant Helga Sinclair, demolitions expert Vincenzo Santorini, geologist Gaetan "Mole" Molière, medical officer Joshua Sweet, mechanic Audrey Ramirez, radio operator Wilhelmina Packard, mess cook Jebidiah "Cookie" Farnsworth, and a platoon of mercenaries. Upon reaching a cave entrance leading to the lost city, the submarine is destroyed by a massive mechanical leviathan, killing most of the crew. Milo and the survivors escape in smaller craft, navigating through the cave to emerge among ancient ruins. Milo translates the journal, guiding the team through caves beneath a dormant volcano until they reach the worn remains of Atlantis. There, they are greeted by Princess Kidagakash "Kida" Nedakh, who, despite being around 8,500 years old, has the appearance of a young woman. She leads them to her father, King Kashekim, who orders them to leave. Learning that Milo can read their language—a skill lost to the Atlanteans over millennia—Kida asks for his help in uncovering their forgotten history and highly-advanced technology, without which the city has declined and resources have dwindled. Milo learns that Atlantis is powered by the Heart of Atlantis, a massive crystal that grants longevity and health to its citizens through the smaller crystals they carry. Rourke betrays Milo and the Atlanteans, revealing his true intention to steal the Heart for profit, despite knowing the Atlanteans will perish without it. He mortally wounds the King while seizing control and uncovers the crystal's hidden location beneath the city. Sensing the danger, the crystal merges with Kida, who is then captured by Rourke. He departs with the crystallized Kida and his mercenaries, except for Vincenzo, Molière, Sweet, Audrey, Packard, and Cookie, who refuse to take part in the Atlanteans' destruction. Before dying, the King reveals that Atlantis was devastated by a megatsunami after he attempted to weaponize the crystal's vast power. To protect the city, the crystal merged with a royal family member, Kida's mother. This created a protective dome over the city's inner district, shielding it from total destruction as Atlantis sank beneath the waves, but Kida's mother never returned. To prevent the crystal from ever merging with Kida, the King hid it, inadvertently accelerating Atlantis' decline. He warns Milo that Kida will be lost forever if she is not soon separated from the crystal and pleads with him to save her. Alongside his allies, Milo rallies the Atlanteans to reactivate their long-dormant flying machines. Together, they eliminate Rourke and his mercenaries in the volcano. Milo and the others fly the crystallized Kida back to Atlantis as the volcano erupts. Kida ascends into the air and awakens Stone Guardians, who erect a barrier that shields the city from the lava flow. With Atlantis saved, the crystal separates from Kida and remains suspended in the sky. Milo chooses to stay in Atlantis with Kida, having fallen in love with her. Before returning to the surface, Vincenzo, Molière, Sweet, Audrey, Packard, and Cookie each receive a small crystal and a share of treasure. The six reunite with Preston on the surface and agree to keep their adventure a secret to protect Atlantis. Preston opens a package from Milo containing his own crystal and a note thanking him. The newly crowned Queen Kida and Milo carve a stone effigy of her father to join those of past rulers floating beside the Heart of Atlantis, as the city stands restored to its former glory. Voice cast Production layout sketch of Milo and Kida. Milo's character design was based in part on sketches of the film's language consultant, Marc Okrand. Michael J. Fox as Milo James Thatch, a linguist and cartographer at the Smithsonian who was recruited to decipher The Shepherd's Journal while directing an expedition to Atlantis. James Garner as Commander Lyle Tiberius Rourke, the leader of the band of mercenaries for the Atlantean expedition. Cree Summer as Kidagakash "Kida" Nedakh, the Princess of Atlantis and Milo's love interest. Natalie Strom provided dialogue for Kida as a young child. Summer also voiced the unnamed Queen of Atlantis, Kida's mother and Kashekim's wife who was "chosen" by the Crystal during the sinking of the city. John Mahoney as Preston B. Whitmore, an eccentric millionaire who funds the expedition to Atlantis. Lloyd Bridges was originally cast and recorded as Whitmore, but he died before completing the film. Mahoney's zest and vigor led to Whitmore's personality being reworked for the film.[8] Claudia Christian as Lieutenant Helga Katrina Sinclair, Rourke's German-born second-in-command. Don Novello as Vincenzo "Vinny" Santorini, an Italian demolitions expert. Phil Morris as Dr. Joshua Strongbear Sweet, a medic of African-American and Arapaho descent. Jacqueline Obradors as Audrey Rocio Ramirez, a Puerto Rican mechanic and the youngest member of the expedition. Corey Burton as Gaetan "Mole" Molière, a French geologist who acts like a mole. Jim Varney as Jebidiah Allardyce "Cookie" Farnsworth, a Western-style chuckwagon chef. Varney died in February 2000, before the production ended, and the film was dedicated to his memory. Steven Barr recorded supplemental dialogue for Cookie. Florence Stanley as Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: an elderly, sarcastic, chain-smoking radio operator who is also the expedition's photographer. Leonard Nimoy as Kashekim Nedakh, the King of Atlantis and Kida's father. David Ogden Stiers as Fenton Q. Harcourt, a board member of the Smithsonian Institution who dismisses Milo's belief in the existence of Atlantis. Production Development The production team visited New Mexico's Carlsbad Caverns to get a sense of the underground spaces depicted in the film. The idea for Atlantis: The Lost Empire was conceived in October 1996 when Don Hahn, Gary Trousdale, Kirk Wise, and Tab Murphy lunched at a Mexican restaurant in Burbank, California. Having recently completed The Hunchback of Notre Dame,[9] the producer, directors and screenwriter wanted to keep the Hunchback crew together for another film with an "Adventureland" setting rather than a "Fantasyland" setting.[10] Drawing inspiration from Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864) and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas (1870), they set out to make a film which would fully explore Atlantis (compared to the brief visit depicted in Verne's novel).[11] While primarily utilizing the Internet to research

He has confessed to committing a murder on the Red Planet, but Nathan suspects he isn't telling the whole truth. Is Kane the killer? If not, who is? And why would he admit to a murder he hasn't committed? The answer to those questions brings shocking consequences. Recorded on: 5-7 November 2024 Recorded at: The Soundhouse Writer Roland Moore said: "The Star Cops characters are so well drawn, originally by Chris Boucher and then from what script editor Andrew Smith and the rest of the team have done. They've been played so consistently over the years, so getting back into writing for them is quite easy. And, I had great fun with the two guest characters. Mitchell Kane is a man totally out of his depth, and it's fun to see him unravel - Homer Todiwala's portrayal of Mitchell was a joy to hear." Director Helen Goldwyn added: "Mitchell is quite a character, brilliantly played by Homer. He's a really interesting personality type, and it's great to see his evolution. Also joining us on this episode is the fabulous Hannah Bristow, who I had the pleasure of working with in a show the year before; I knew that she had such a distinctive voice and such a naturalistic style, so it was great to come across the role of Samantha and be able to offer that to Hannah."

It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 31 May 2026, and on general sale after this date. The Doctor and Yaz arrive in the East End of London, 1926. There's grief in the air: not only the years of war and sickness, but a more recent death. A strange message prompts them to investigate the murder of a medium. A young woman whose seances hide deeper secrets - and an unearthly power that threatens the entire city.

"Speaking to the dead is a dangerous and - quite literally - haunting business, and even more so in this era. I've loved writing Yaz and the Doctor's challenging, loyal, heartfelt dynamic as they investigate both a series of murders and their own losses - I hope listeners enjoy it as much as I did." Lead actor Jodie Whittaker said: "It's a really beautiful script, with ghostly elements explored in a very unique way, and so many different characters of different ages as well - people whose grief is through loss of a family, and young people who've lost someone instantly. And it touches on the Spanish flu, which, now we all know what it's like to live through a pandemic, feels incredibly relevant." Her co-star Mandip Gill added: "When I first read The Violet Hour, I was a bit scared because I'm actually scared of ghosts! But then I got quite excited because we've not touched on this before, and it's exciting to pop back to the East End in the 1920s." And, producer Noga Flaishon said: "Working with Rafaella Marcus was wonderful. I adore their work across theatre and audio, and they were amongst the first writers I pitched for this series. The plot is so suspenseful and spooky, and this was the first - and so far only - time I shed tears in the control room during a recording... the words ripped my heart out on this one."

2026/03/02
https://m.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?sid=tindogpodcast&_pgn=1&isRefine=true&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l49496 The murder of movie star Striker Torrance brings the ISPF to the Moon's Rothchester-Remini hotel, where preparations are under way for the star-studded premiere of Shadow of the Moonlight, an action thriller where the lead characters are Star Cops. Nathan bonds with iconic star Coral Goldfinch, while the team uncover tragedy and dark secrets beneath the Hollywood veneer. Why is Coral's private security guard obstructing the investigation, and who is sending the star sinister messages? Director Helen Goldwyn said: "This episode brings together the technological and scientific side of the Star Cops world with the world of entertainment that is still going on down on planet Earth. It's really good fun to have those two worlds colliding. One of the best parts of this episode was getting to work with the fabulous Samantha Boffin as Coral Goldfinch, who delivers such a great, nuanced performance." Writer Mark Wright added: "I sent so many emails to Andrew Smith, our series script editor, begging to let me do a Star Cops, because I'm such a big fan of the original TV series. I was 15 when it started; I have very fond memories of running home for 8.30 on a Wednesday night to watch it. So, to work with Andy on the script, and to be in studio with three actors from the original series - who are just delightful and play off each other so well - it doesn't get better than that! "My original inspiration for this story was, there's always talk of the next Bond movie or Mission: Impossible that they'll film in space. I thought, with space technology and exploration expanding in the Star Cops universe, somebody would go and make a film in space. And there's a hotel on the moon where there's going to be a glitzy premiere because space tourism is becoming a big new thing now."

As the conflict between Gallifrey and Skaro rages, the Cybermen are gone from the universe. Until now. The War Doctor finds himself on a world ravaged by battle, where soldiers are kept alive by grimly familiar methods.

Seeking answers across multiple worlds, and in a long-dead Cyber-tomb, the Doctor uncovers the terrible truth. The ultimate Cyber-form is coming to join the Time War.

And more than that... every kind of Cybermen enters the Time War. Mondasian. Telosian. Whatever their heritage, these half man, half machines will change the stakes in the battle between the Time Lords and the Daleks. But who will this third party favour?" Writer Jonathan Morris added: "[Script editor] Matt Fitton asked me if I wanted to do a War Doctor story, and I replied going, please can I do the Cybermen? What happened to the Cybermen during the Time War? "I've never done a Cyberman story in twenty-odd years of working for Big Finish. Every now and then I've dropped little hints that I'd like to, but this time it's finally happened. All these ideas I've had over the last twenty years about cool things I could do with the Cybermen, I've put into this story." Lead actor Jonathan Carley said: "When I first took on the War Doctor, I thought, 'We know a lot about what the Daleks and Time Lords are up to, but what about the Cybermen, the other big cheese in the Doctor Who world?' I don't think they've ever been done in this era before. "This one was sold to me with the opening line of 'every Cyberman ever'. I was in, I was raring to go, and it has not disappointed - it's totally delivered on that, and a few original Cybermen in between." His co-star Mitra Djalili added: "I absolutely love it. I like a strong female lead and I'm very fortunate to be playing one. When I was a child watching Doctor Who, I never would have thought in a million years that later on down the line I'd be involved. And it's absolutely wonderful. "I relate to Nesta quite well. I wonder how much of a coincidence it is when I'm offered parts like this, because she's quite brittle, she's quite sarcastic, she doesn't suffer fools gladly. She has the courage of her convictions, but she also does have a soft centre."

https://m.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?sid=tindogpodcast&_pgn=1&isRefine=true&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l49496 This title was released in February 2026. It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 30 April 2026, and on general sale after this date. The Doctor and Rose travel to the 47th century, Earth's 'Second Dark Age', but when they arrive in the floating box city of High High Wycombe, it's more like a paradise. The residents live an existence of endless leisure, and at night sleep a blissful, dreamless sleep. But cracks soon begin to show on its perfect, polished surface, and something terrible is brewing in the mind of teenage Elsa - something ancient and hungry - something that sounds like a nightmare. THIS TITLE IS NOW SOLD OUT ON CD Recorded on: 9 and 11 December 2024 Recorded at: Fitzrovia Post Writer Stewart Pringle said: "For me, Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper will always be the faces of the new series. They brought it back so brilliantly. They're just the most incredible performers. So to have them back together for a set of stories and get to contribute to that, it's just a total dream. "It was a great joy to be doing the first off-world story for this new run. The End of the World is still one of my very favourite Doctor Who stories. So Cloud Eight was our chance to do a bit of that, stepping out onto another world - although this is a world very close to Earth in some ways, it also feels quite distant and quite sinister." The episode's other writer Lauren Mooney further explained the inspiration behind Cloud Eight: "I'm really interested in the relationship between work and sense of self. There's something fascinating about the paradise of a world without work, which was the starting germ of an idea about a future in which nobody has to work, but everybody's minds are colonised by data storage. "We are all in a world where our attention is being clamoured for, and it's easy to outsource our thinking and our creativity. And it's tempting to do that, and not to think for ourselves or create for ourselves. And so this story is about the perils of doing that, because we need those things!" Producer Matt Fitton said: "After sticking very closely to the Powell Estate for the first few stories, we wanted to widen the TARDIS net and have the Doctor and Rose head off a little way away. "Stewart Pringle and Lauren Mooney have written some great Ninth Doctor stories in the past, and I really enjoy all their writing. They can make things that are disturbing and very characterful and very human and very emotional as well. All of those ingredients fit well with the era of the Ninth Doctor and Rose! "So in Cloud Eight, we pay a visit to High High Wycombe, which is apparently a kind of a utopian paradise where people don't need to work anymore. People have endless leisure time and everything seems to be going swimmingly. But as ever in Doctor Who, there is beneath the surface a price being paid for all of this…" This is an adventure that gets the Doctor particularly riled up, as lead actor Christopher Eccleston commented: "I took this story as a warning to myself, really. The anger that the Doctor feels, I thought, was really exciting and prescient. He's able to both celebrate and berate humanity, but within, when he berates it, he's going, 'Please do not allow yourself to be controlled. Do not give yourselves up to being mechanised.'"

Maintaining law and order beyond Earth is the responsibility of the International Space Police Force, known colloquially as the Star Cops. Their leader is Commander Nathan Spring. With Earth's vital mineral resources running low, and worldwide suspicion over the true purpose of a mission to mine the asteroid belt, international tensions are running high. A series of suspected sabotage incidents at the Moon's south pole, and an attempted assassination on Earth, threaten to provoke tensions to the point of war. Can the officers of the International Space Police Force avert an escalating catastrophe? Recorded on: 5-7 November 2024 Recorded at: The Soundhouse Producer Emma Haigh said: "I'm always thrilled to see a new Star Cops script arrive in my inbox and these new stories brought just as much excitement as ever. "In these six fresh stories, the Star Cops are tested to their limits, both physically and mentally, with huge professional and personal conflicts, against the backdrop of a global crisis. Andrew Smith and our team of writers – Roland Moore, Mark Wright and Georgia Cook – take us on a journey for which it's worth flying to the moon and back." Writer and script editor Andrew Smith said: "The scale of Star Cops: Conflict is easily bigger than any set of stories we've told before. World peace is in the balance, international tensions are reaching boiling point, and the cause of those tensions is rooted in space. The Star Cops' actions have greater consequences than ever before. "The writers who have worked with me on this have once more delivered exceptional episodes, and it's been a particular treat to have Big Finish veteran Mark Wright - a huge Star Cops fan, it turns out! - join us for the first time. "It has again been a joy to see and hear our regulars from the original TV show back together. David, Linda and Trevor have such happy memories and affection for the series. And this time around, we have a love interest for one of them. But will it last? Relationships aren't easy for a Star Cop... "The starting point for this series was the issue of the shortage of minerals in the future, which is a genuine threat that is being looked at technologically at the moment. The asteroid belt is a potential solution to that, with the mineral-rich asteroids out there, but if this led to a world conflict, it'd be the first one where space is a real battleground. "This episode is very much about setting things up for the five episodes that follow, which are more or less standalone episodes, but with a continuing thread of the world tensions that are always there in the background." Linda Newton, who plays Pal Kenzy, added: "I really enjoy these episodes. The stakes are very high, higher than they've ever been, and that's clear from the first episode. And Kenzy, who is normally very impenetrable emotionally, does let her guard down and become involved with someone - like many an Australian girl, she falls for his English charms! That someone is Howard Lesser, a new character played by Ben Miles, star of Andor and Coupling. Miles said: "Howard is quite a mysterious character. He runs an ice collection station on the moon, and seems to be having trouble with a neighbouring station, so calls our fabulous Star Cop Kenzy up to have a look at it. There seems to be something from the off between Kenzy and Howard, and he insists on taking her for a little tour in his moon rover!
