More Traffic for Humans, and the Master on Tuesday

Was that cryptic enough for you? Okay the crazy title is there to represent the 3 pieces of news relating to John I am about to give you. The Tuesday part, speaks for itself. It represents the film Tuesday which John Simm and screen buddy Philip Glenister are staring together in. According to the recently launched Philip Glenister.com, the movies website is now live. You can find the link to it over at Phil's site, or simply go to HangmanFilms.co.uk.

The Master part of the title? Well as mentioned earlier in the site in John's recent interview with Richard and Judy, John mentioned that he had not been told his appearance as the Master on Doctor Who had ended. Today over at Outpost Gallifrey, it quotes a recent Q & A with BBC Drama head Julie Gardner, from IF Magazine's website where Julie states "It would be rude not to, and he’s a great character. John Simm is amazing and I would go to work every day with him. His scenes were so much fun to do," she says. Well looks like the Master is set for a return in the near future, lets hope its in series 4.

Finally the more "Traffic for Humans" part, as previously promised to you I will be bringing you a review and comparison for Human Traffic Remixed (the Directors Cut style second version of Human Traffic). Whilst I was hoping to get this to you earlier, I hit several snags along the way. These hurdles to over come have been constant computer issues, of one type or another limiting my ability to bring you the video comparison. I am hoping that this week I will be able to resolve them and get that review out to you, I could give you the review now and the comparison later but I've decided it best to give you both at the same time. So that's the update on HTR. 'Til next time Simm-sons and daughters peace, and remember who'd settle for sonic when they can have laser!

John Simm Autograph Number 1

Of course i not so long ago sent a letter to John Simm via the address here and in just under a week a received a signed and dedicated autograph to myself. My first John Simm autograph can be found below also I'm going to try and get more autographs from him shortly.

Life On Mars Reviews

Human Traffic Review

Here it is as promised i have finally watched the movie Human Traffic staring non-other than John Simm. The story begins showing Jip (John Simm) working for a clothes shop which he is completely fed-up of doing. All Jip lives for is the week-ends where he goes out with his mates who are Jip, Koop, Nina (Koop's girlfriend), Lulu and Moff. When Jip and Koop talk on the phone they often say the words "Nice one Bruva !!!" After work the team go out to a club in Cardiff on Friday night with devious intentions. They plan to get completely wasted and they also take drugs along the way. However there plan is foiled as they lose a ticket for a club but thanks to some clever talk of Jip they all manage to get inside. Further on in the film we see the relationship between Jip and Lulu grow and we also find out Jipp has sexual paranoia. Further on Moff has a discussion with a fellow party goer about how Star Wars is a drug fantasy, and the fact that Yoda was always stoned and also Koop and Nina argue over her flirtatious behaviour. Finally Jip and Lulu finally get it together and have sex and Jip gets over his sexual paranoia. Jip concludes his narration throughout the play by ending with the words "'It's an insane world, but I'm proud to be part of it." This movie is certainly worth watching for any fan of John Simm as he shone throughout the movie but beware it is a 18 so you will be unable to watch it if you are under that age.

Updated Information On Tuesday

A few days ago i posted information on a film starring John Simm in 2008. This film is called Tuesday and now i have more information on it. This film will also feature his partner in crime Phillip Glenister who's autograph i happened to receive today but that's another story. The two will star alongside each other as bank robbers. Once again more information on this shortly.

Richard and Judy do John

Last week as earlier reported by Bad Wolf, John was treated to a ritual grilling from talk show hosts Richard and Judy on their program. During the interview John discusses his work on Life On Mars, his appearance as "The Master" on Doctor Who and his current stage show. John appears on the show with co-star Adrian Bower of "Teachers" fame.

During the interview John was asked about his future with both Life On Mars and Doctor Who. John quite firmly denied an appearance in the upcoming sequel series "Ashes To Ashes", but went on to add that his future in Doctor Who is not certain at present. At least that's not a no. Richard and Judy tell him they were suitably impressed by his performance and want him to play The Master again. Are you listening Russell? Even a rival network wants John as The Master.

Below you will find the interview in its entirety, I hope you all enjoy it. I did.

The Original or the Remix?

Hello everyone, welcome to my first entry on John Simm PR. You are probably wondering about the title of the post, aren't you? Well in the club scene when there are different versions of a track available, they are generally known as remixes or mixes. As you would have read a few posts ago Bad Wolf will be doing a write up on Human Traffic, one of John's earlier movies from 1999.

As the movie is about the club scene in Cardiff, instead of a being a "REDUX" or "Directors Cut" the producers decided on an original name for a new edit of the film. To keep in line with the topic of the movie, there is also Human Traffic Remixed available. This version differs greatly from the original, like most remixes. I will post a comparison video showing you the differences in the ways the versions were done. Obviously I will not post the entire movies (it would have been nice though), but instead will offer you the first 5 to 10 minutes. So you can see the differences.

The 2 covers for the alternate editions can be seen below. This movie was what got me into liking John as an actor, I suppose probably because I could relate to it on a personal level. In the mid '90s when the movie is set, I was a practicing DJ and night club promoter. Many characters in this movie remind me of people I knew back then, especially John's character "Jipp". The eager club regular is a mish mash of possibly every extreme punter, you could ever meet. It has an awesome '90s soundtrack (as to be expected), featuring artists such as CJ Bolland, Fat Boy Slim, Orbital, Underworld, Primal Scream and everybody's favorite DJ the one and only Carl Cox. Carl Cox also acts in this movie and plays the night club owner.

When Bad Wolf has given you his critique on the original, I will give you mine on the Remix. It only seems appropriate. This movie has connections to the world of Doctor Who as well, not only does it feature John (The Master). It also has Shaun Parkes playing the role of "Koop", Shaun played Captain Zachary Cross Flane in "The Satan Pit / The Impossible Planet" and Helen Griffin plays "Jipp's Mum". Helen's character, you would all remember as Mrs Moore in "The Age Of Steel / Rise of the Cybermen" who helped the Doctor with her electro-magnetic bomb.

Well that's my first post, if you are a devout John fan then you may also like to check out LifeOnMars.tv, my original blog. Have a good one, what ever it maybe.

Welcome A Cyberman

As the John Simm PR empire increases I'm starting to need contributors to this blog. So a new contributor has joined the team and his name is Robert Cyberman. Rob is a massive Life On Mars fan and is a even bigger John Simm fan. I'd just like to take the time to welcome him to the team and i am looking forward to working with him

Doctor Who Episode 13 Last Of The Timelords

Last Of The Timelords was The Last Episode Of John Simm's appearance in Doctor Who and it finished in the usual finale fashion. The story continues one year on from The Master starting to take control of earth where now Earth is fully conquered by our Lord and Master. Meanwhile stories travel that only Martha Jones can defeat the Master. Also in this jam-packed tale we learn the truth about the Toclafaine and why they will make the Doctors hearts break. The Toclafaine are in fact the humans that the Doctor helped rescue in the first part of this 3 part epic which the Master went back to the future to change them. As the story continues we eventually realise that Martha has not travelled the world to get the parts for a weapon to kill The Master she has in fact travelled to tell a story about one fantastic man named The Doctor which eventually contributes to The Masters terrible end. At the dying end we learn that Captain Jack Harkness was once called The Face Of Boe which leads suspicions that he is in fact The Face Of Boe we know and love and this would explain why Boe knows theres another Time Lord. This story also see's the end for now to the amazing Martha Jones who has travelled with The Doctor all the way through Series 3. Overall i would give this episode a 10/10.

Expect Some Human Traffic

If you did not already know the brilliant John Simm once starred in a movie entitled Human Traffic. Human Traffic is a 1999 film directed and written by Justin Kerrigan. It is based around a group of friends living in Cardiff and their clubbing exploits over the course of one weekend, including sexual exploits and drug use. Well of course this post does have a point as i have recently ordered this on DVD so expect a full review soon on the performance of John Simm.

Sorry We Didn't Give You The Heads Up

If you were lucky enough to have been watching the Richard and Judy show today on Channel 4 than you would have noticed a familiar face of non other than John Simm who was being interviewed on the show. If you did miss him (like myself) I'd just like to apologise for not posting about this sooner but rest assured as soon as the interview is available on You Tube it will be posted.

Life On Mars/Robin Hood Dual Australian Promo

Today i have decided to post a interesting Promo from down under i.e. Australia. This prom is dedicated to Life On Mars and Robin Hood. Of course the trailer features the star of the show John Simm. Thanks to Rob from Life On Mars .TV for uploading this Promo.

Live Or Die The Master

As some of you might have known i recently began on making my first ever Music Video. After watching the episode Last Of The Timelords i decided to do my video to the music by The Scissor Sisters called I Cant Decide. I also have based it on John Simm's Master. Please could i ask all viewers if they would be so kind as to comment on this video on the videos you tube page. The video can be found below.

A Possible Return For John?

As you may have seen last Saturday night in the last episode of Doctor Who it was also John's last appearance in the series for the time being. Although at the end it did seem that Johns character (The Master) was still alive at the end of the episode. So could this mean a possible recall for John to return to the role? or maybe if The Master does return it will sadly be a newly regenerated master (basically no John). I personally hope that this means a recall for John but i suppose were going to have to wait and find out.

Saxons Five-Year Project

Now that John Simm went crashing out of Doctor Who last night in typical Who fashion he now has agreed to serve time. John Simm has signed up to play a UK prison inmate in a Channel 4 docu-drama 7 days to be filmed over five years for broadcast in 2012. Shot by director Michael Winterbottom over a real time period it will provide authenticity in the ageing process of Simm's character and the five-year separation from his family. More information on this as it comes.
