TORCHWOOD
Yes I’m sure we all know by now is an anagram of you’ll never guess…..

DOCTOR WHO

and the first two episodes of this adult breakaway from that show were brilliant, I hope it is able to keep up the momentum. It parodies kids sci fi from the 70’s and 80’s – UFO, Space 1999 and possibly early Star Trek. They were well justified in their post watershed time slots, they were scary, violent and full of sex, sexual innuendo and bad language – in fact just what the doctor ordered!!
We’ve met ‘Captain Jack’ before in Doctor Who and as then is superbly played by John Barrowman and all the main characters show real potential as their characters are developed.
Something must be right because Torchwood had more viewers than any other non sport, home grown drama on satellite tv EVER!
