the article has a bunch of other shows that will air in australia this year but most of them are crap imo.

Quoted from Morgan_Pym

I heard it's more for adults than for children... I'm not sure whether it's more scary or adult content

adult content. very much so. the second episode is all about an alien that feeds on orgasms.

Sheesh     ... I knew that my ex had moved to Europe, but I was unaware she was the star of a TV show

After checking out the episode guide this is definately something I will watch.A lot of episodes that deal with time travel which is my favorite sci-fi plot device.

Seems to be similar to another US show that involved aliens and secret govt groups.

I really don't know what to make of Torchwood after watching the first 2 episodes. Sure it's good, one hell of a lot better than what it would be up against on Australian TV i bet, but as a sci-fi it isn't in the galactica/ x-files/ Babylon 5 ballpark of actually doing something different that sets it apart.

Jack's character has been significantly toned down since he was in Who, which I'm glad to see, but I don't think I'll be able to stand to much of Gwen. When I look at casting between the 2 series it is a real c**k up!

Fantastic ! this sounds good, I loved Dr Who its just a good little show, I get a good laugh and a cry sometimes. I realy liked the mother, she had some good lines, a bit of a "slapper" but loverable, roll on torchwood.

I have the first 10 eps but have not watched a single one.... yet. My son says it's 'darker' and not similar to Dr.Who at all. The humour and banter in Dr Who is what really makes the show. The new Dr Who and Captain Jack are both gay men in real life. What's the expression? All the 'good' men are either taken or gay!   They are still both gorgeous though.  

I think the exec/creater is gay as well? He describes jack as omnisexual. I gonna let that all the good men comment pass by!

I don't think he is gay. He was dating someone from the show not long ago.. *googles*

"As of 2006, Tennant is dating actress Sophia Myles, who appears with him in the Doctor Who episode as Madame de Pompadour (The Girl in the Fireplace). They started dating after filming in October 2005."

That's what I thought... I was sure I had read somewhere that David had become a swordsman of sorts after filming Casanova & taking the lead role literally

Would have been more skillful if he had wound up with Billie

I hope you're joking on that one!!!
