Torchwood & Friends

I know what you’re thinking: what’s my take on the Doctor Who spinoff series, Torchwood, which was announced today?

(for those of you thinking about toast, please go down the hall to room 26)

Unsurprisingly, I’m in two minds. It’s great that the BBC have so much faith in the new series that they’re prepared to fund new science-fiction shows, and the proposed storyline is amusingly British (more anti-American bias from the BBC, obviously). But I’ll miss Captain Jack in Doctor Who itself. I’m sure he’s not being shunted to an ‘adult’ show because of his sexuality, but it was nice to have a character like that in a show like Who.

Now, if RTD can add Marcie to the cast, I’ll throw aside all all my reservations!
