Torchwood

[mandragora]

To any non-Brits on my friendslist. See now, that's what Welsh accents sound like.

Which is why most of us keep on saying that Peter Wingfield (Highlander) doesn't have a Welsh accent. Hey, he's worked really hard to lose his, poor bloke, and anyone who insists he has a Welsh accent are dissing all that work he's done to sound generic upper middle-class English.

And, yes, I really enjoyed Torchwood. Almost (almost) makes up for the postponement of SGA's The Return II.

It's not really got the same tone as Dr Who. Darker, edgier, the characters are much more flawed. Less upfront humour. And yes, definitely more sex and more explicit violence.

Hmm, probably too run-of-the-mill for me to bother watching, then. Also, they're starting at Episode 3 on BBC2 it seems, so there's really no point us terrestrials coming in halfway through.

According to my Digiguide they're starting with Episodes 1 and 2 on BBC2 this evening. I'm inclined to think this is accurate, because it would be very peculiar to start the run on terrestrial part-way through. It's listed for an hour and forty minutes, whereas if only one episode was being shown it would be listed for 50 minutes only.

I would say give it a try myself, see if you like it before deciding you don't. *g*

Matt's newspaper today disagrees with the Radio Times I read too: that tonight's are repeats. Which is a good thing, because I really don't see the point in starting to watch something halfway through if you don't have to.

I'll give it a go, of course, but I'm not convinced. And I really like John Barrowman too...
