"And Now On BBC Three..."

After months of waiting, Torchwood is finally transmitting on British television screens.

Right now on BBC Three, the episodes "Everything Changes" and "Day One" are airing.

We hope you enjoy the show - and remember that afterwards we've got a friendly chat room for you to visit, where you can talk about all things Torchwood.

See you on the other end...

And remember:

Everything is about to change...

It's real! It really is real, and not a big joke RTD is playing on us!

"fucking"

why? just because we're 2 minutes past the watershed doesn't mkae profanatory mandatory surely? I'm glad I don't have kids who are Doctor Who fans.

Regardless of that the whole first episode failed to arise any excitement in me whatsoever

hehehe
I hope the last poster turned off before 22:10!

I'm sure Torchwood will be a success in the UK but I'm doubtful it'll score in the US.

Again, congrats to all involved.

I didnt know what to expect. I am more than pleasantly suprised. Really impressed and loved it.

Sadly a bit "adult" for my 11 year old son who wanted to watch it because of its Dr Who connection.

Swearing just because it's past the watershed doesn't make a film good. Plot was boring and uninteresting. The supposedly "sexy" second episode was a shroud for soft porn.

Utter plotless crap. A complete disappointment. Thank goodness they won't be crossing future Dr Who storylines.

Loved this and will definately be back next week. Had to keep checking my kids weren't trying to watch upstairs. Don't know how the Americans will take this. They don't mind watching someone get decapitated in slow motion with a chainsaw, but they're really squemish about sex and worse, bisexuality. Language might be a problem too. Hope not. It's too good to miss.

How fantastic to have a sci-fi show based in Cardiff! The one-liners were great.

I can't wait to see it on this side of the pond. Is there a "Confidential" type of thing for Torchwood?

... Or better, a Torrent?

Anthony Garnon said...

Yes, there's a Torchwood documentary series called "Torchwood Declassified". Catch it online now!

I loved it! I'm hooked already...

...I want to know how Jack got back from the future. And I REALLY want to know what he thinks he's going to do with The Doctor's severed hand (still twitching 10 months later, ewwww!!).

Russell T has done it again in my book, the one liners were awesome...'Came and Went' indeed !! Ha!

I think it's very good, if your gonna complain do not watch it!!

People have been going on about lots of swearing in the first 10 mins. To be honest I didnt even notice. It's an adult drama with real adults talking like adults. That's how a lot of people talk. It helps make it more real actually.

Having watched the repeats just now, I like and I think it'll be fun TV. Im not sure it will translate well over the pond mind you, and Im also not sure it'll have wide appeal, but I hope so. :)

Well, if it doesn't come over the pond to us, I guess I'll have to buy a region-free DVD player and wait for the UK release before I see it.

It was intersting but the thing that annoyed me was the fact that the doctor is an enemy of Torchwood, so why would Jack go and work for the people who hate his friend?

curls said...

Well for one thing enemy is a strong word, but even so short of any pro-Doctor groups hanging about, they are his best shot of finding the time lord.

For what it's worth, a few great episodes tonight. Still taking it all in.

First Ep is brilliant! Havn't seen the second one yet, hopefully my Mate recorded that one as well and gives me the Tape for that one as well. If you want torrents I suggest here Just make sure it is Torchwood and not DrW Confidential.

Maybe it's just me but I found the first two episodes to be not very good - An excelent concept but rather clunky in the execution. - a 1900 show with some rather self aware 'adult' content which didn't add very much at all to the episode -

Honestly, I didn't notice the "adult language". I can see how the nightclub sex scene was not for kiddies. But, as far as I understand it was made clear children were *not* the target audience. As for the person comparing it to soft porn - have you ever *watched* soft porn, because I think you've been seeing something else than I have... For a start, it has no witty lines, which Torchwood indeed does. Secondly, I don't think the series contains much that people over 13 couldn't handle (especially if they're European). Yes, lots of sexual undertones/references. Lots of (same sex) kissing, too. But that's who those characters are, it suits them. Besides, you know Russel T. is going to slip in some of that...

What a pity this show is the biggest letdown to have graced our screens in recent years. I don't watch it anymore but when I did, my brain just kept repeating, 'This is shite, this is shite, this is shite'.

Please just concentrate with making Dr Who and forget about this disaster.
