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!

RIP The 10th Doctor. A loss to BBC Cymru, Wales & maybe to Tennant.

Seen the new BBC Cymru/Wales Xmas logo ID?

The Doctor returns to the Tardis, to find it almost completely covered in snow. He looks around and spots reindeer. He raises an eyebrow & looks knowingly to camera.

In the next shot, the reindeer are harnessed to the Tardis, and David's leading them into the heavens as the Tardis is freed. David, the reindeer & the free Tardis then ride round & circle the BBC Cymru/Wales logo, as the next program is introduced whilst Xmas music plays. It's very impressive.

Still very sad to be losing the Tenth Doctor. I love David, and think he'll not be beaten> I'd not like to be in Matt's shoes, though I have seen him wearing Converse in-role, and at least that's sexy. David should have stuck it out for a couple more seasons, after all - Doctor Who & BBC Cymru/Wales have made him, and shaped his career forever.

RIP David Tennant's 10th Doctor. The End of time - part 1 - Christmas Eve, 6pm on BBC Cymru/Wales, BBC 1 and in hi def on BBC HD. Watch... and cry.
