I never got into Dr Who as a fan but I did appreciate it's logic and plotlines. <BR/>Torchwood is so bad by comparison that I am shocked to find that is it supposed to be a spinoff from Dr Who. When I saw the first episode my view was that Torchwood was an embarassment to the great history of British Science Fiction and Science Fiction comedy programmes. <BR/>The only advantage of Ten still showing it is that it reduces the American informercials I have to put up with late at night.<BR/><BR/>To compare this with shows like X-Files, Buffy, CSI etc is just laughable. The production values and the overarching story structure - the mythology - of X-Files or Buffy is so well formed in comparison to Torchwood. I am not a zealot about either any of those shows but frankly in comparision Torchwood looks like it has been put toether with duct tape and paddle pop sticks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17981668.post-28888970604897247912007-09-02T08:52:00.000+01:002007-09-02T08:52:00.000+01:00Seems people are forgetting that us Australians ar...Seems people are forgetting that us Australians are lucky to have gotten any Torchwood. I certain feel sad that it has been treated so badly, however lest we forget the trouble we had getting the show in the first place. ABC wouldn't fund it. So we should treasure all we get. I certainly believe in the cause to get a better time slot, though, one must never forget something is better than NOTHING!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17981668.post-25447312052029433312007-08-30T05:22:00.000+01:002007-08-30T05:22:00.000+01:00Typical Channel 10.

We went out for a meal and came back and were surprised to see that TW was much earlier into the episode than we expected, although we weren't quite sure as the guide had it running for 1hr15 and that's a substantial amount of ads to squeeze into a 45min show! The next day we found that BB had overran by an hour. If I was living in Australia, I'd've downloaded the show and bought the R2 DVDs. Following it on Ten does not seem an easy option, particularly for people used to the ad-free ABC's Who screenings.<BR/><BR/>It seems odd that TW S1 is running at the same time as Who S3 - if they don't get a move on with showing TW, Jack will get to the Tardis before he leaves the hub!Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775434740460038714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17981668.post-49287555243214230542007-08-29T13:26:00.000+01:002007-08-29T13:26:00.000+01:00I'm with you, but this article is worth reading be...I'm with you, but this article is worth reading before deciding what to do. <BR/><BR/>http://heywriterboy.blogspot.com/2007/07/emily-posts-guide-to-save-our-show.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17981668.post-91318541076481272642007-08-29T13:07:00.000+01:002007-08-29T13:07:00.000+01:00And Law and Order!! how many times is THAT on CH10...And Law and Order!! how many times is THAT on CH10 per week.<BR/>I think the double of Supernatural/Torchwood worked well. It was putting it on after Big Brother that was ridiculous! I suspect CH10 bragging about the high ratings for BB was actually people tuning in expecting Torchwood and finding BB going over by an hour!<BR/>I have emailed them and will continue to do so, lets hope they take notice of the public opinion.<BR/>Of course Australian TV hates scifi, as anyone knows who scoured the midnight hours trying to find episodes of BSG that seemed to change timeslots every week!<BR/>Torchwood needs to be on CH2 with Dr Who where it belongs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17981668.post-12360573978706694382007-08-29T10:03:00.000+01:002007-08-29T10:03:00.000+01:00im so happy all these people are behind this, i li...im so happy all these people are behind this, i live in australia and i was so pissed when they moved it to that time slot!!<BR/><BR/>i can only hope that it gets better with season 2 <BR/><BR/>:D<BR/><BR/>i mean they are playing NCIS repeats, but cant put torchwood on, that bugs me :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17981668.post-31387836463500721642007-08-29T07:38:00.000+01:002007-08-29T07:38:00.000+01:00jbfanatic I don't know what you are talking about!...jbfanatic I don't know what you are talking about!

I was one of the many sending in an e-mail explaining my hatred towards Ten about Torchwood.<BR/>This is a show with one of the highest ratings in Australia at the moment, and they've shoved it back to a timeslot where basically no one can watch.

First they were advertising it as if it was purely a 'CSI' type show, then they put it on directly after Big Brother which always ran over time - so any one who switched on expecting Torchwood would get juvenile drivel instead.<BR/>If a TV station can't look after its imported shows, why do tehy whinge about 'poor ratings'.
