Pamela Salem, who portrayed Miss Moneypenny in Never Say Never Again opposite Sean Connery in his final turn as James Bond, has died. She was 80.
Salem died Wednesday in Surfside, Florida, according to Big Finish Productions, for whom she participated in several audio productions.
“Whenever there was a Big Finish recording for her, she’d fly in from Miami on her own steam, without fuss or fanfare, and appear at the studio armed with the warmest smiles, the biggest hugs and often presents,” producer David Richardson said in a statement.
For the BBC’s Doctor Who, Salem played the sandminer pilot Lish Toos on 1977’s “The Robots of Death” and Professor Rachel Jensen on 1988’s “Remembrance of the Daleks.” She reprised both roles for Big Finish in the audio drama series The Robots and radio spinoff series Counter Measures.

As with his past features Beginners and 20th Century Women, writer-director Mike Mills focused his latest effort, C’mon C’mon, on family—this time honing in not on his relationship with his father or mother, but instead on that between an adult and a child.
“The story, the heart of it came from me having a kid, and living with my kid, and experiencing the world with them,” Mills said Sunday during Deadline’s Contenders Film: Los Angeles even, “and having someone need you so fully. It’s so intimate, being a parent.”
In the A24 pic, Joaquin Phoenix plays Johnny, a radio journalist whose latest project has him interviewing children across the U.S. about the state of affairs in the world. Johnny forges a tenuous but transformational relationship with his 8-year-old nephew Jesse (Woody Norman)—the son of his sister Viv (Gaby Hoffmann)—when he winds up...

Now I’m willing to bet that among the many incarnations of The Doctor, the Sylvester McCoy Seventh Doctor is not up there as one of your favourites. Personally, I never really took to him. Too goofy for me, achingly intent to show us just how zany he was. For me, he also lacked a good look, looking like something of a mish mash of previous Doctor’s. However, that was then and this is now. Now I’m of the mind that there is no such thing as a bad character, just a bad approach, or an approach that was not quite right. So, if you are sceptical like me, let’s give the book a shot. I can sweeten the pot as well, by pointing out that The Seventh Doctor’s original Script Editor Andrew Cartmel...

It’s been almost a year since the six-episode debut season of SundanceTV’s The Red Road ended. However, in just over a week, the series will be back for its much anticipated second season, with Jason Momoa’s Phillip Kopus returning home after having been released from jail and Harold (Martin Henderson) still struggling to deal with the many issues going on in Walpole. We at TVOvermind have an exclusive first look at The Red Road‘s Season 2 premiere, which proves that things haven’t gotten much easier for Harold and company since we last saw them, as they find themselves in dark (literally) and dangerous situation. In addition to Momoa and Henderson, The Red Road stars Julianne Nicholson as Jean Jensen, Tamara Tunie as Marie, Antoni Corone as Captain Warren, Kiowa Gordon as Junior, Allie Gonino as Rachel Jensen, Tom Sizemore as Jack Kopus, and Wes Studi as Chief Levi Gall.

The Red Road, Season 1, Episode 1, “Arise My Love, Shake Off This Dream”
Written by Aaron Guzikowski
Directed by James Gray
Airs Thursdays at 9pm Et on SundanceTV
This week, on The Red Road: Phillip comes home, Jean is less than stable, and stupid teenagers are stupid
With Rectify, Top of the Lake, and The Returned, SundanceTV made a name for itself in 2013, creating and/or distributing thoughtful, stylish short-run television. The Red Road, their first series of 2014 and only second original series (the first being Rectify), doesn’t live up to these antecedents, at least in its pilot, but is nonetheless interesting. While it lacks the emotional depth and gorgeous visuals of these other series, the pilot makes the case for following for this first, six-episode season thanks to two of its central performances and its unique setting.

Warning: Significant spoilers follow!
Big Finish Productions can never, ever be faulted for a lack of ambition. They took the characters of Jago and Litefoot and made them into a, so far, five season audio series. They look Davros and created a backstory for him. They have several seasons of stories about wars against the Daleks and Cybermen. They even have an ongoing series of stories about political machinations on Gallifrey.
But “Counter-Measures”, their newest series, is perhaps the most ambitious. It follows the story of the Counter-Measures Group, a military organization created in the wake of a Dalek incursion on Earth in 1963; essentially a proto-unit. The origins for this group and their stories happened in the 1988 Doctor Who episode “Remembrance of the Daleks”, where we met Group Captain Gilmore (Simon Williams), Doctor Rachel Jensen (Pamela Salem), and Doctor Allison Williams (Karen Gledhill).
