is SO BAD.

why am watching it?

the acting is bad enough, but the programme makers seem to need to put this incidental music over everything.

there's THIS MOMENT IS SAD music, THIS MOMENT IS SPOOKY music, THIS MOMENT IS FUNNY music. And every now and then the camera goes all swingy for no reason to back up the THIS MOMENT IS SPOOKY music, as if to hammer the point home.

Still, having caught part of robin hood the other day, torchwood isn't as bad as that... half of them look like they bought their clothes in primark. And you keep expecting Robin Hood to go 'alwight mate, don't leave yer car there, i'll nick it, innit. i'm a geeza, yeah?'

It's written by Russell Twee, what do you expect? *grin*

But Doctor Who is good, Russell the T only wrote one of the four shit Torchwood episodes that I've watched (didn't even bother with last night's...) and he did write The Second Coming, which was fucking ace! I can't fathom why it's turned out so bad, but I agree with Emmie. Having defended Doctor Who to people all my life I find with Torchwood that I don't know where to start.

Ah well. I like it. Even the Russell T episodes. each to their own. :)
