I finally got around to watching Torchwood: Children of Earth. ( I was very surprised to find that it was pretty damn good. )
You’re telling me she PLANNED it?
Dec. 3rd, 2006 11:26 pmAfter quite a rough patch this evening (I got quite cold as a result of the wind today, despite wearing what I thought were warm clothes, and that triggered a major worsening of the ME symptoms; fortunately short-lived), I am feeling rather better.
Watched Torchwood. More by accident than design. There were a couple of decent, brief scenes, but the whole thing... It made no sense, no sense whatever.
I met my friend R. last night, and at one point I mentioned how very disappointing Torchwood was. She said she had heard it was quite good;
No. And it is quite depressing that that remains the one positive thing I can say about it.

Surely,she said,
it can't be as bad as Robin Hood?
No. And it is quite depressing that that remains the one positive thing I can say about it.

purpletigron for alerting me to tonight’s Never Mind the Buzzcocks repeat being a John Barrowman smutty innuendo-fest (with a side order of buttock-fondling). Much fun. Then we switched over to watch Torchwood, which was tedious. Buffy did the mind-reading bit so much better. I am beginning to wonder if RTD has been paid to give an illustration of what the word
( Spoilers, I suppose )
Something else that Torchwood is better than, it seems, is The Catherine Tate Show. Unfortunately, saw a few minutes of this before Buzzcocks. It reminded me of Tittybangbang (Which is on its second series! Why?): a great deal of work and care, and not a single laugh. Why do they seem to think that great make-up jobs are ipso facto great comedy? Where do they get the nitrous oxide to pump into the studio to get the audience giggling?
It says something that the most intriguing thing in the whole evening was the continuity announcer’s comment about his wee Irish friend who was desperate to see Torchwood.
