Before I begin, can I just say how much I enjoyed tonight's Torchwood? "Small Worlds" goes to show how scary this post-watershed, Welsh drama can be. It's the first episode (bar the pilot) where I've not checked my watch to see how long is left once. Honestly, Peter J Hammond has done himself proud, and produced the best script of the series so far. Well done to all involved - especially JB who out did himself tonight with Captain Jack's more emotional scenes.
Now, I've not had access to the computer since Thursday - so apologies if this is old news to anybody, but next year, according to this month's Doctor Who Magazine, the three Torchwood tie-in novels will be released in CD form as audio books. Two of them are due to be read by John Barrowman himself, whilst the third will be read by the stunning Eve Myles. They are expected to be released around February/March next year. Get your amazon.co.uk orders in now to avoid disappointment!
Also in the magazine is an interview with casting agent Andy Pryer, who discusses the casting of Captain Jack back in 2004, and an "exclusive" episode guide for all of series one of Torchwood - which all major Woodie sites posted about last month! The magazine, issue 376, is out now at all good newsagents priced £3.99.
Have a great Monday back at work or school (I'm being sarcastic - there's no such thing as a "great Monday", is there?). I'll see you all very soon, and I hope you enjoyed tonight's show!

there is such thing as great Monday if you have it off. i don't go to college on monday!!! woohoo
I loved Small Worlds and Estelle was superb too.
PJ Hammond has not lost his touch. Although at times I expected David McCallum and Joanna Lumley to step into frame! :)
not episode related, we're watching small worlds right now, actually, just thought i'd say what a brilliant job yr doing with torchwood.tv. excellent, excellent, and love the new banner!! all in all, kudos from some torchwood fans in the states!
Thanks for the replies guys and dolls. As you've probably seen by now, BBC 2 has chosen to bypass the usual "Wednesday Night Repeat" trailer, and just air a clip of next week's "Countrycide" for BBC Three instead. Damn them!!!
Still recovering from Monday. Watching Torchwood until midnight (slightly dissatisfying) and getting up at 6 a.m. again. Guess that will be my routine for the next few weeks to come *yawn*
Torchwood seems to think that you can fool people into thinking something scary is going on by filling the time with screaming. This show is, imho, a joke; it fails pathetically in its attempts to create dramatic force by filling the time with screaming and ersatz urgency. Nov 12's episode was the worst so far: completely implausible and filled with befuddled and arbitrary dramatic pathos. To cut a long story short - I thought it was stupid and probably won't watch it again.
I enjoyed the episode and the characters and will be watching it again!
Monday's are terrible - always
