HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We know we’re already late wishing everyone that, but we’re Atlanteans! We’re either fighting mythical creatures sent to kill us, drinking wine or trying to come up with a genius theorem! Or hiding in our caves waiting for a cure…probably that one.
To kick off our 2014 in style, BBC America have posted an Atlantis Insider Special with all sorts of behind the scenes goodies! Thanks to Robert for this special New Year gift!

The boys (Jack, Mark and Robert) were just on the Graham Norton Show on Radio 2 where he asked them some questions about themselves, the series and they answered a few fan questions. We couldn’t make out some of the interview due to them laughing so much! We did our best to get the little bits and bobs.
For those who can listen to shows on the website, we will bring you the link so you can listen to the interview all over again!
For those of you who can’t wait for the next episode of Atlantis, here are the trailers for them! Good timing, we think!

If you’ve been keeping updated, then you would know that next year (27th April 2014), Mark Addy and Robert Emms will be attending Wales Comic Con. Tonight, it has been confirmed that Jack Donnelly will also be going!!
Cue the fangirl screams!
This was posted on the website:
Having aired to positive response, the new BBC Saturday night family fun filled adventues in Atlantis will be well represented with British veteran actor Mark Addy and up and coming actor Robert Emms appearing together at Comic Con in 2014.
Mark and Robert (and now Jack!) will be on-hand to sign autographs for fans and will be telling plenty of stories from the set of Atlantis.
If you’re from the UK, then tickets went on sale today! You can get them by clicking here!
Thanks to this tweet from Robert:
We know that Jack and he will be appearing on a charity show called Children In Need. Some of you might remember it from when Merlin did a couple of skits on it.
We’re not sure what time they’ll be on, but as soon as we do, we’ll bring you pictures!
Here are some images of Jack and Robert on the show:

As the title suggests, Jack and Robert were on the UK morning programme, BBC Breakfast, being interviewed about Atlantis.
We know that not all of you could have seen the interview because of work, school, or being up and out. A clip has been put up on the BBC website for those who can watch it, but for those of you who can’t, here are a few pictures and a transcription of the interview for your fangirling/fanboying pleasure!
Click on the picture to see the transcript!
Today is definitely living up to its name as Atlantis Saturday!
Jack appeared on a UK cooking show Saturday Kitchen this morning where he spoke of his acting career to date, his role as Jason and what we can expect from Atlantis over the next few weeks!
For those that can’t watch the video on iPlayer, we’ll post the interview down below.
Nice work, everyone!
It seems that the Gods (at the BBC) have realised what brave, talented and excitable citizens we Atlantians are and have decided to let our favourite people survive for another series!
We’re so happy and congrats to the Atlantis cast and crew from such amazing news!!
As we previously reported early on last week, Jack and Aiysha were going to be with the Atlantis producers at Cannes to promote the show at MIPCOM. In true BBC fashion, they didn’t do it half-hearted! A giant 3D art of the teaser poster (without the cast) was painted onto the ground and it looks amazing!
Looks like it’s not just us that are going crazy for this show!
Blue Peter (a UK children show) had a fun segment from behind the scenes of Atlantis where presenter Lindsey Russell got to visit the set in Chepstow, interview Jack and Sarah and help out making a costume for the show.
For centuries, explorers have risked their lives searching for this island, but today, I can reveal that I, Lindsey Russell of Blue Peter, have found it and it’s…er…here in Wales in this industrial estate.
But it’s inside the old warehouse where the legends come to life. I’m on the set of the brand new BBC drama Atlantis and it’s incredible here! It feels like we’re in another world.
Actor Jack Donnelly plays Jason, our dashing, daring hero. Fighting foes is a full-time job, but I managed to catch up with Jack between scenes.
Jack: Jason is one of the main three characters in the show.
Lindsey: So you get to do a lot of fighting and stunts? Some really cool stuff..
Jack: Yeah, absolutely! You get to do it all! When I got the job, I was like ‘Yesssss!’ I mean…you audition for alsorts of stuff, but I was like ‘I can sword fight, I can horse ride! I get to be in battle sequences!
The rest of the segment goes on to show the costume side of the show. How they created the costumes for characters like Ariadne and Pasiphae. If you want to read/see images of that, let us know and we’ll add them!
