What's it called?
"Something Borrowed"
Who's it credited to?
Phil Ford, writer (CBBC's "The Sarah Jane Adventures") and Ashley Way, director ("Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang", "Reset")
What do we know?
It's Gwen Cooper's wedding day - only the bride to be has been impregnated by a shape shifting alien! Wonder how Rhys will react..?
Major guest stars?
The fantastic Kai Owen is again at the centre of the action as Rhys, as Nerys Hughes appears playing the role of "Brenda" - who may or may not be all that she seems...
Rest of the best
Sharon Morgan ("Mary"), William Thomas ("Geraint"), Robin Griffith ("Barry"), Collette Brown ("Carrie"), Danielle Henry ("Megan"), Ceri Ann Gregory ("Trina"), Jonathan Lewis Owen ("Banana Boat"), Morgan Hopkins ("Mervyn") and Valerie Murray (as "the Registrar").
Reviewing the reviews
The Radio Times calls it a very (successful) light hearted episode, and claims it's the sort of stuff that Torchwood does best. DigitalSpy hints that it's a corker of an episode, as does one Doctor Who Forum poster, who claims to have seen the episode weeks in adavnce...
When's it on?
It airs on BBC Two tonight from 9pm. It's repeated tomorrow from 7pm, also on BBC Two.
What about America?
"Something Borrowed" is scheduled to air on BBC America Saturday 22nd March, at 9pm. The BBC America schedule can be found here. You can also catch the episode in glorious High Definition - on HD-Net - April 7th.
Look to the future...
Next week we emerge "From Out of the Rain" and watching old movies won't ever be the same again. Who says films can't come alive while you watch them...? Then, in "Adrift" Gwen and PC Andy team together to investigate mysterious disappearences...
Excitement level?
*** - Described as a 'farce' by Russell T Davies, the episode could potential OD on the comedy elements. RTD has even gone on record to say that the 'ming-mongs' (us fans) will hate the episode. Hopefully it won't be as bad as last year's ninth episode, "Random Shoes".
BBC Three Preview
BBC Three previews the next episode - "From Out of the Rain" - straight after this one. You can read a preview of that episode by clicking here.

What An excellent episode.
It's a cliche but I laughed my arse off!
Nerys Hughes being called an ugly bitch was the classic sort of line only Torchwood could get away with, and the monster was brilliant.
Can't wait for next week
That was bloody brilliant! I cant believe RTD thought we wouldnt like it. Better than last week's episode. I loved the Gwen and Jack scene with the will they/ won't they and then that Jack was a shifter! Awesome!
i agree with rocky whatever about the whole jack/gwen thing!
it was so unfair though, i really want them to get togther!
Lovely spoiler there Rocky. I only hope it doesn't mean quite what I think it does.
I don't get it, it's supposed to air on March 12? I downloaded it a day ago . . . by this point everyone should have seen it, and one probably shouldn't read comments if one has decided not to yet and doesn't want spoilers :)
Umm in fact "From Out of the Rain" seems to have aired now . . .
Umm Keith? Some fans live in the US where it hasn't
aired yet and can't download the episodes and spoilers are
generally warned of :-D Those of us who have relied on youtube in the past have been thwarted by a crackdown on copyright infringements. Our regular uploaders have really minimized their videos or have had their accounts deleted. If you live in the UK you don't know how we envy you!
It has become quite complicated, what with BBC3 first showings, and BBC2 showing the full and edited versions… it’s made a mess of BBC iPlayer I can tell you – what with all three of these screenings getting a seven-day download period.
And yes, I think that given these previews are put up ahead of the initial BBC3 airing and offered up for comment on that timescale it’s sort of obvious that the comments would contain spoilers…
