Torchwood vs Dr Who

So last night Mark and I settled in front of the iPlayer to see the last in the series of Torchwood and the first in the new series of Dr Who.

We decided to watch Torchwood first, following the logic that even if Dr Who is dreadful, it's bound to look better after Torchwood.

Rather obviously, there are likely to be spoilers beneath these cuts.

Speaking of car crashes so awful you can't look away, today in the news The mother of schoolgirl Shannon Matthews has been arrested in connection with the alleged kidnap of her nine year old daughter.

That means than her step father, his sister, his uncle, and their mother have all now been arrested in connection with this, as well as Shannon's mother.

Step Father - arrested for possession of child porn
His uncle - arrested for suspected kidnap
Step Father's sister and mother - both arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and attempting to pervert the course of justice
Shannon's Mum - arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice

Snow!

On Sunday morning, this was the view from my bedroom window.

Pushing our hangovers to the backs of our minds, Ruthy and I headed out to Hackney Downs to play.

Ruthy couldn't wait to play in the snow!

And just hours later, it's all gone.
