KTV Media International works with the Brooklyn Brothers to create the new iPhone app “IamaDalek” for BBC America. The app converts any recorded message into the voice of a Dalek, a fictional extraterrestrial race of mutants from the cult British science fiction television series Doctor Who. The new era of Dr. Who premieres Saturday at 9pm on BBC America. Originally created by Terry Nation, the grating voice of a Dalek is ingrained in many a heart of science fictions fans. Thanks to the “IamaDalek” app, now anyone can become their very own Dalek. The iPhone app is available for download at the iTunes app store for free.

As a child, creative director Stephen Rutterford was terrified of Daleks and their “creepy” voices. When it came to choosing a collaborator for the project, Rutterford knew immediately who to approach. After a conference call with Josh Kimberg of KTVMi last year, Rutterford recalls, “[Josh] sounded like a Dalek, so naturally he was the man for the job.”

Dr. Who may be familiar to the British, but for many Americans, the show is as foreign as a Dalek. When asked how the app could connect the Dr. Who audience to America, Rutterford responded, “Our audience in the US are primarily urban influencers and early adopters of the latest gadgets, so we felt the Doctor Who brand should reach them through the latest technology.”

Longtime viewers of Dexter, KTV Media was excited to work with Showtime to give something back to Dexter fans. The webisodes were first announced at comic-con San Diego in July to enthusiastic responses. Josh Kimberg, founding partner of KTV Media, on the appeal of Dexter: “I love how atmospheric the show is, the methodical way he goes about killing people, and the intrigue that gets created by the fact that he works in the police department.”

In crafting the style of the webisodes, KTV Media took this opportunity to introduce new artwork while keeping true to the likeness of the characters and the way the show represents the passing of time.

Four chapters are already live on the Showtime website and available on iTunes, check back for new installments as Dexter’s history gets revealed.
