  • Small Worlds: First Glance

    Superb! Most definitely down to Peter J Hammond (best known as the creator and writer of the classic Sapphire & Steel and some great direction (by Alice Troughton), Small Worlds just worked like no other episode of Torchwood had so far. The episode felt full to the brim with potential and characterisation – and that…

  • Cyberwoman: First Glance

    So, Cyberwoman – an hour of spot the gaff/contradiction? While I can appreciate you can love someone an awful lot, how could Ianto turn from dutiful assistant into weeping wreck willing to kill everyone for his cybernetically altered girlfriend? Mind, Ianto’s girlfriend went through a complete sea change of personality – from the desperate woman…

  • Ghost Machine: First Glance

    Torchwood had a little more to offer in terms of substance and story-telling last night, offering a tale of ghosts and murder in a more X-Files-stylee. It was a fine performance of torment from Gareth Thomas (best known – to me at least – for his role in Blake’s 7 as Roj Blake) – who…

Captain Jack Harkness makes his return, missing since 1941 apparently, along with a team of scientists, hackers and misfits to fight hidden alien menace in the heart of Cardiff. I liked it. I thought…

  • Most Wanted

    If you load the Workstation Panoramic of Jack’s desk and circle through 180 degrees to what looks like a small desk by the door – is that a picture of Russell T half obscured on the table? Torchwood starts this weekend!

  • Pantomime Mouse Attack

    The Talons of Weng-Chiang – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: The Doctor brings Leela to Victorian London to see how her ancestors lived, but is rapidly drawn into a fiendish plot involving Chinese tongs, disappearing women, an Oriental stage magician, a murderous ventriloquist’s dummy and giant rats in the sewers. Had the pleasure of watching this…
