@Kellogs. Yes but everyone else including the current production team are happily forgetting that particular nonsense ever happened.

@purple grapefruit. It's a real bin. Made of plastic. It comes flatpacked and you assemble it yourself. It has a little pressure sensitive panel at the bottom that when hit by a flying can of Pepsi plays one of three sound samples. It's a pain in the arse to put together as well.

Wash your mouth out with soap, then go and sit in a corner and think about what you said. You can come back when you're ready to apologise.

I must say that I'm really impressed with the Tardis money box. It's well built and looks really really good. Open the doors and it plays a 9th Doctor sample (Get them quick though. They're changing to 10th Doc samples) and when you close the door the light on top flashes blue in time to the Tardis takeoff noise

and as I said before it's the perfect size for an action figure prop

Well, in my defence, it made about as much sense as the rest of the thing did. It seems a shame, though, because, as HGFB pointed out, and as I've heard elsewhere, the Eighth Doctor stuff was otherwise fairly good. Mind you - Doctor Who with a budget? Whatever next?

Someone on another forum is saying that last week's episode can be viewed through red and green 3D specs like the Doctor wears...

Is that what they're saying? Red and green specs? 'Cause the Doctor wore red and blue specs.

I wondered about those glasses he kept putting on

Now why would an Icecream site have a secret directory containing Torchwood scientific data?

(Don't worry. They aren't spoilers. It's wmv movies of the computer displays from last week's episode.)

I just want Jack to show up at the end, pull another gun out of his arse and save the day.

Don't think it'll happen though.

I know we've established that the TARDIS can travel into parallell universes, but this is a bit ridiculous:

(It'll probably yellow frog in a bit anyway)

Have you seen the different flavours of ice cream that the dairy produces?

And they supply the ice cream to the Leamington Spa Lifeboat Museum. The town recieved it's first lifeboat from Queen Victoria, and in 1930 three crewmembers were killed by a wolf! You've got to smile at the directions they have provided, should you want to visit.

-10 points for the first person to look up Leamington Spa in a road atlas or map.

You can. It will be a bit dark and funny coloured, but you should get the gist of it

I'm thinking of setting up a live webcam out of my window pointed directly at Canary Wharf - sorry "Torchwood"...

Is this a good idea?

Word motherfucker. What the hell was the point of spending all that money on an orchestra and putting the middle 8 back in if the continuity announcer is going to talk over the fucker? Tell us what's on next *after* the program has finished.
