The New Earth, or the cutting-room floor?

Had a lengthy Twitter exchange last night with Carole - a mega JB fan & like me, lover of Torchwood Seasons 1 & 2. Both of us hated Season 3 with venomous passion.

Carole's view (and I think, hope) is that a US-based Season 4 featuring just Gwên & Jack is bound to fail, and will be abandoned by past fans.

What's your view?

Torchwood: The New Earth

Hmm.. Torchwood, The New Earth. Filming begins on Jan 11. However, few of the original characters remain, it's largely US based & produced, and it promises to be 'dark, bleak & depressing. Don't think I want to watch it!

Watch out for flying egos!

For those who hated Russell T. Davies’ Torchwood: Children of Earth, perhaps due to its sheer bleakness & ethos of organisational deconstruction, these quotes from RTD will come as no comfort. I’ve a feeling I won’t be watching Season 5.

Has RTD’s almighty ego over-inflated so much that its now obscuring his vision & causing him to lose the plot totally?

Ianto's place...

Anyone in or around Cardiff, a bit of recycling’s needed over at Ianto’s place, the Hub, Mermaid Quay. There’s a bit of water damage, and a number of tributes are a bit mouldy.

There’s definitely a need for a fresh-n-up & some new pix / cards! Still, loads of daily visitors.

Today I spoke with some TW enchanted Spaniards, Germans who loved Ianto & some girls from Porthcawl who’d come down with Xmas cards ;-)

RTD. The death of Torchwood?

If only RTD hadn’t SABOTAGED #Torchwood and our cheery, happy, camp, alien Cardiff-based Welsh drama had remained in tact!! (Growls at RTD).

Cardiff > The big Christmas switch-on... by sonic screwdriver!

Quite surreal to be in Cardiff on Nov 10th to encounter a Xmas choir, Bob the Builder and Doctor Who and his able assistants, all introduced by BBC Cymru/Wales' Jason Mohammed. 

Warming to hear that classic theme tune booming across Cardiff as the Xmas lights come on, and fireworks ignite the sky. 

Pure class!

New posts coming!

New posts are on the way.... I've been concentrating on other publications!
