Up Close and Personal

The BBC have put a preview selection of clips from Torchwood Up Close on their YouTube site.
A kind of online version of cast and crew video diaries, rather than a behind the scenes affair like Confidential or Declassified.

Here you can see such delights as the torrential rain we get here in Cardiff, John's reaction to seeing him 'done' on Dead Ringers, a brief glimpse at the new boardroom set and mucho clowning around.

They clearly have far too much fun .....

Apologies to anyone outside the UK, if you cant see this, I will try and find another version that you have access to as the day goes on. However, the ludicrously talented James Moran, reports on his blog that you will be able to see Torchwood on HDnet - thought to be full, uncut versions!

And Naoko, yes, Cardiff's weather is ridiculous, isn't it? I mean, I am writing this at my desk at 8:52am and its still dark!!! I am blaming the rift.

Thanks for the Torchwood goodness. John was having way too much fun with the Dead Ringers bit.

James Moran is correct, and there's no "thought to be" about it -- HDNet shows the full, uncut versions of Torchwood, without interruption, and of course in hidef. They ran a marathon of series 1 on New Year's Day in addition to their weekly airings, and they'll begin airing series 2 on Feb. 11.

If you are in the US and have an HDTV, you really want to be watching Torchwood on HDNet.

THANK YOU for the HDNet heads up. I hadn't realized the episodes would be cut for time on BBCA.
