5 The Daily Star, Oneonta, N.Y., Friday, August 22, 2014 By Andrew Warren TV Media The Doctor is in: Is it really any surprise that a program about a Time Lord is timeless? That's right, the eighth sea- son of the revived "Doctor Who" is landing, and with a new Doctor occupying the TARDIS, the premiere is prom- ising to be a doozie. The new season got under- way Saturday, Aug. 23, on BBC America, with Scottish actor Peter Capaldi stepping into the role of the titular space and time traveler. "Doctor Who" watchers have already seen him twice as the Doctor — first last year in the show's 50th an- niversary special, "Day of the Doctor," and again in the 2013 Christmas episode, "The Time of the Doctor." This season will finally see him taking over the role as the Twelfth Doctor. American audi- ences will probably best recog- nize Capaldi for his film work, including last year's high-tech thriller "The Fifth Estate" and the apocalyptic thriller "World War Z" (2013). Across the pond in "Doctor Who's" homeland, he's a much more recognizable face. He's probably most famous (up un- til now, that is) for his role as Malcolm Tucker in the sitcom "The Thick of It." Landing the starring role in "Doctor Who," however, is something else entirely. The show is a cultural icon in the United Kingdom and a fan fa- vorite around the world. Ca- paldi will be the 12th actor to take on the legendary role, joining the ranks of such leg- endary actors as David Tennant ("Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," 2005), Tom Baker ("Little Britain") and Christopher Ec- cleston ("Thor: The Dark World," 2013). Un-blacklisted: One of last season's hit dramas is bulking up for its sophomore run. "The Blacklist" was a much- needed success for NBC, a fa- vorite with both critics and au- diences. The highly anticipated second season may still be a month away, with the premiere set to air Monday, Sept. 22, but excitement is already building for its two new cast members. Iranian-American actress Mozhan Marnò has signed on as a series regular, joining Mary-Louise Parker, who's joined the cast in a recurring role for the season. Parker has been a hot com- modity for years. The Golden Globe and Emmy-winning ac- tress will first be spotted in the season premiere as a mysteri- ous woman with old ties to Reddington. Parker's TV credits to date include headlining the critically praised "Weeds," re- curring in "The West Wing" and appearing in the minise- ries "Angels in America." "The Blacklist" tells the sto- ry of one of the FBI's most wanted fugitives, former gov- ernment agent Raymond "Red" Reddington, who turns himself in and strikes a deal with the law: he'll help track down and neutralize some of the most dangerous criminals on the planet. His motives re- main the series' biggest mys- tery, something that perhaps the second season will shed more light on. It's pulse-pound- ing, high-stakes television, and it's coming back for a second sea- son. Don't miss it on the peacock network airing Monday, Sept. 22. ANCHORS ANDERSON ARTHEL CANDY CNBC DESK DR.
