torchwood

So far so good. I enjoyed that. ETA: I too have never seen Torchwood before. Seems darker than Dr Who.
 
I've never actually watched Torchwood before, but tonight's episode was really good.

(Apart from the conversation about the language the aliens would be most likely to have picked us as Earth's major language).

Did I mishear, or did that woman with the kid call Jack Daniel (heh) at one point? Is she his sister or cousin or something?

Dad, she called him Dad!!!!!!!

Same for me. It's obviously hammy and 'knowing' but I haven't got my head around it all yet. The setting of Cardiff Bay makes me laugh though.

Russel T Davies though, so fingers crossed.



The radio prequels sound an interesting 'multi-platform' angle
 
Oh - I had no idea he had a daughter.

I KNOW...... it was sooooooo exciting!!!
Not as exciting as in Dr Who when he said he was known as the face of bo when he was younger...... I literally leaked wee when that happened!!!
 
I thought that was brilliant and I'm someone who usually spends most of his time rolling his eyes and shouting at the telly when Torchwood is on.
 
It would have been great had it been 40 minutes long. There was just a bit too much exposition...
I'd imagine in this time slot - for five days running - the BBC were hoping to draw in a new audience, which among others is me. Didn't have a clue about Captain Jack, etc, and it seemed right to this new viewer, though I can understand it would be too much for those who know the back stories.
 
alien invasions in wales....can't take it seriously.

bbc sound mixing still on overload i see (or hear).

wasn't bad though. better than the usual torchwood 'ooh look two men snogging' crap
 
The way John Barrowman kisses makes me cringe. It can't be a homophone thing becuase the two guys kissing in eastenders had an entirely different effect on me.
 
Hmmm I dunno. I think he kisses desperately. I think it kinda suits Capn Jack. He is a pretty sad, desperate kinda character imo.
Lol@hugging his hubbie :D
 
I don't know if it's psychological, but in 'my day' - Tom Baker/Peter Davidson - it all seemed to be directed at a slightly higher age range and was genuinely chilling and alien,

You were a lot younger when Tom & Peter were the doctor...plus the ole rose tinted spectacles of nostalgia...

I couldn't stand Torchwood the first time around, this actually held my interest...
 
Erm...

It's the first time I have seen Torchwood.

What was a CBBC programme doing past the watershed on BBC1?

It was awful for an adult programme, but enjoyable as something you watch with your nephew on some Sky channel.
 
I liked the part where one of them went to visit his sister on the estate and she did the sisterly interrogation thing - with a Welsh accent and colloquialisms. Excellent.

Only seen this one so I don't know anything, felt like a pretty stark Batcave vibe - Captain Jack's trenchcoat might almost have been a cape. Even liked Peter Capaldi being the other side of the ministerial desk.

Very playful.
 
I'm bloody glad I read this thread though - I didn't know it was nightly. That would have been one very pissed off teen.
 
I loved that they made us think

Rupesh would be a new member of the team, then just killed him :D

Oh, and Lois Habiba is just lovely *swoons*
 
Really enjoyed that. The scene with the schoolkids screaming was genuinely eerie.

Is Peter Capaldi destined to only ever play civil servants now?

This series deserves it's own thread.
