Whats up with Dalek's ?

nothing.... but in moderation. in 2 series what? 4-5 episodes where they appear?

thats about a quarter of the episodes, its too lazy tbh, create new enemies or bring back other old ones. </BLOCKQUOTE>


The BBC had a three year deal with the owners of the Daleks, it took a long time to get them to agree to let them use the Daleks in the new series, so they were going to get their moneys worth. </BLOCKQUOTE>

3 year deal or not quality is always &gt; quantity

I found that Torchwood had far too much sex and swearing. If it adds to the plot in some way that is fair but to me it just seemed like a misguided attempt to be adult. Sex and violence alone doesn't make a show adult, it is themes, ideas and issues, the way that you deal with them that do.

Also Torchwood being a top secret organization is laughable. Security is non-existant and they would attract less attention if they drove around in the Batmobile for chrissakes!

Saxon

Just read that "Saxon" Has been seen as early as "love and Monsters" Didn't realise that it had appeared that early.

Looks like it's going to be quite a massive story arc with him.

Torchwood may no longer be a secret organization. The events of recent years (Aliens crashing through Big Ben, Sycorax flying over London, The Battle of Canary Wharf) would have alerted the wilder world to the existence of forms outside of earth, and Torchwood may have become more known.

Well said that man! Torchwood is pretty dire, I watched five or six episodes at various points in the series and found myself either cringing at the 'adult' content or just aghast at the dreadfully unoriginal writing.

Night before the new series starts at 8.30pm on BBC1 will be a Doctor Who Weakest Link special.

Torchwood was pants. Gave up after four episodes as it was utter tosh.

[retired_derek]

I gave up after six. But watched it again recently just because of wanting to see how it ended to be able to know if Captain Jack found the Doctor.

On that. Do people think The Doctor will have already collected Jack when the new series starts or will it be some time into the series?

Where abouts in L&M Gregg?

Quite looking forward to season 3, despite Heroes just compounding how much I miss Eccleston as the Doctor.

[retired_yuva_xna]

I remember reading something back after the end of S2 that Jack will appear towards the end of season 3, then be a mainstay again until the end of the season.

Can't imagine him appearing until later on tbf.
