Torchwood again...

[emmelinemay]

With reference to my earlier post on the subject, i think Charlie Brooker (as usual) puts it best...

The trouble with Who's freshly-minted anagrammatic "sister" serial Torchwood (Sun, 10pm, BBC3; Wed, 9pm, BBC2) is that it's not really clear who it's aimed at. It contains swearing, blood and sex, yet still somehow feels like a children's programme. Thirteen-year-olds should love it; anyone else is likely to be more than a little confused. Which isn't to say Torchwood is bad. Just bewildering. And very, very silly.

it's definately very very silly, but then when has anything Dr Who related not been the wrong side of silly?

Thats a pretty funny review :)

some parts of it (the big inflatable dick on the car, and the PC world bit) made me laugh out loud :)

My thoughts were they tried to make a program adult by throwing in swearwords and sexual references.
Dr.Who is far darker and more adult.

*nods* I suppose if it carries on there'll be sex..oh no, hang on, that's been done already.

Nice to see you recovered from Nellie then...:)

Brooker's wrong though.

It is bad.

Never thought i'd see the day you disagreed with Mr Brooker :)

Anyone remember "K9 and Company"?
Maybe Dr. Who spinoffs are just a bad idea..

I'm afraid the name, and somebody I know ranting about how GREAT it was without any kinda explanation, put me off it right away.
