Alan Rickman: This Sunday’s Podcast – An Educational Conversation with Alan Rickman Post Date: 9 March 2013 (STAR TALK)

Alan volunteered an interesting, science-fictional approach to customize teaching to the unique needs of individuals (with a bit of science magic thrown in, too) which, after all, shouldn’t be surprising coming from an actor who has played a Professor of Potions at Hogwarts in the Harry Potter series, a pioneering heart surgeon in Something the Lord Made and a Shakespearean actor playing a Science Officer on Galaxy Quest’s starship, the NSEA Protector.

Just a note for anyone who already watched some of this interview on The Nerdist Channel: there’s more content in Part 1 and Part 2 than made it into the video, so I recommend you check the podcast out, too. (Stay tuned for Part 2 on March 24th.)

Part 1 of the interview will be available on our website and iTunes tomorrow night, Sunday, March 10th, at 7:00pm ET.

That’s it for now. Keep Looking Up!

Ripper Street: ‘Street’ signs What lies ahead for ‘Ripper’ crew in Season 2 By MICHAEL STARR Last Updated: 11:58 PM, March 8, 2013 Posted: 10:36 PM, March 8, 2013 (NEW YORK POST)

Fans of “Ripper Street” won’t be disappointed by tonight’s season finale — which ties up some loose ends and leaves other plot stones unturned.

“We wanted to make sure that, if we got only one series, that it would end in a way fans would find satisfying, at least, in some ways,” says “Ripper Street” creator Richard Warlow.

“We didn't want [the first season] to be incredibly open-ended because fans get frustrated,” he says. “They get invested in a series, some big questions are put to them, and then they don’t get any satisfaction.

“As a TV watcher I’m slightly resentful of those situations . . . and I didn't want ‘Ripper Street’ to be like that.

Warlow says he has a “strong sense” of where his characters will be in Season Two (filming begins in late April/early May). “It will be between six months and a year from where we left the characters,” he says. “I wanted to move into the final decade of the 19th century; the feel, the landscape and the culture has slightly changed.

“For Reid, to jump ahead any further would have been unfair to the character and [to] the issues we need to answer,” Warlow says. “We’ll be far enough ahead that’s he’s been able to get back to some sort of sense of normalcy.

“In Series 2, we’ll be looking at more of the political and cultural movements of the time as inspiration,” he says. “The premise of Series 1 was a group of people trying to make peace with their past.

“In Series 2 . . . how do they then go about living in a Victorian culture that’s economically depressed with . . . the feeling of doom and calamity that ends of centuries always bring?”
