The Reader Awards 2008

Last year, following the conclusion of Torchwood's first season on British television, Torchwood.tv launched a successful "Reader's Awards". This year it's back - bigger and better than ever before, with new categories and a lot else besides!

Send an email to the following address; answering each of the following categories. All the results will be added together after the closing date (April 3oth) - and we'll announce the winners in May!

RATE THE EPISODES

Mark each story out of 10 - 10 being the highest; 1 the lowest. We'll add the results together, and find (based on averages) the highest through to the lowest rated adventures.

1: "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang"
2: "Sleeper"
3: "To the Last Man"
4: "Meat"
5: "Adam"
6: "Reset"
7: "Dead Man Walking"
8: "A Day in the Death"
9: "Something Borrowed"
10: "From Out of the Rain"
11: "Adrift"
12: "Fragments"
13: "Exit Wounds"
