Well, I think that given that it's a new venture, and they don't want to queer their pitch on the success of Doctor Who they've had so far, they'll pull out the stops to do a good job with luck..torch wood..sorry..touch wood..

Completely agree. Awful character. John Barrowman gets on my nerves too.

Marcel Marceaux on a never-ending video? I think you meant meme

We got two for one this week, with the Torchwood files being affected by the Badwolf virus

It would be more effective if (a) we didnt know what torchwood was and (b) they didnt always mention it in speech.

Touchwood

That was a typo.

It does sound better like that

Perhaps they might try pushing the envelope next series..by dropping the location of HM Government secret underground starship development facility at Pissinit Down into every episode..and see if anyone notices?

I was actually talking about Captain Jack in series 3.

You wouldn't think from looking at her that she's 41 this year, would you? She passes for a 14 year old pretty well in Harry Potter...

She also looks quite tasty when she hasn't got her cardigan/duffle coat/mittens on!

Do you think they'll bring back the executioner of the colony from the planet Terra Alpha in series 3?

Actually I'd like to see what the Tribe of Gum have managed to do with fire since "An Unearthly Child". They've probably come up with a ice age patent office and IP lawyers the next time Doctor Who gets back..

For the record, I think the Jack character is FANTASTIC *Ahem*
