Word is that James "Spike" Marsters has fallen in love with Wales after working on Torchwood, and has decided to launch his new album Like A Waterfall in Cardiff on Saturday 17 November. Marsters liked the city so much from his time with Barrowman and chums that he is returning next month to hold the European launch of his new album at The Point in Cardiff Bay. He can be seen in the opening episode of Torchwood early next year, and the 12-track Like A Waterfall (available now from www.jamesmarsterslive.com ) is his second album. Tickets for the gig are available from www.thepointcardiffbay.com . The concert will also feature fellow Torchwood actor Gareth "Ianto" David Lloyd and his blues band.

Seems script-writer Stuart Beattie told Gamepro : "[300] was shot completely on green screen, which is amazing when you actually see the film. It's probably how we're going to do Gears of War."
