The blog is back!

Hello! -blows dust off blog-

You may have noticed we’ve had quite a big hiatus over the last few months. Both of us are actually at university so we weren’t able to travel to Atlantis for a while and we had to put this blog up on the shelf, but we’re back!!

There are a few posts that we’re going to be putting up over the next couple of weeks. We have the belated DVD review (it’s never too late to chat about a DVD, is it?), we had the chance to go and see Jemima in her play, Blithe Spirit (she was amazing!) and there is also Wales Comic Con coming up and we’ll be posting about our time there!

Yes, we’ll make sure to post plenty of pictures!

See? We’re making up for lost time and we’re sure that over the next few months, more and more news will come about Atlantis Season 2 so take a deep breath!

BBC America Atlantis Special

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!

Jack, Mark and Robert on Radio 2

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.

  • Robert (Emms) was the first person cast for Atlantis.
  • The Temple of Poseidon is actually one massive green room that the cast film in.
  • Jack’s dad is an actor, Mum is a choreographer, 3 brothers (one who is an actor, another a model, another in Cirque Du Soleil!)
  • Their favourite episodes?: Mark liked the bull leaping episode (thought it was a great story), Robert and Jack both liked the episode in Hades, though the 12th episode ends on a cliffhanger and is meant to be good!
  • The final two episodes are a lot darker than before and there may be some major deaths involved!
  • Apparently the audience will end up knowing more about Jason and his story than Jason does!
  • Most of the male cast seem to end up topless/naked during filming, including Robert and a space hopper? Did we hear that right? 😮

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!

Jack and Robert on Children in Need

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:
