crippsy_99 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Seems a little odd so far to me..ok I know its only a Dr who spin off, but doesnt seem anything like Dr who! But suppose its good enough to keep watching.. Spent most of both eps squeeing mind you over the fact I could name pretty much every road and place they went too in cardff heh..and will be there tuesday morning to meet Billie Piper!!

Aspen Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I enjoyed it and will be watching it every week. I was buzzing it after watching it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGreen Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I really enjoyed it, didn't know exactly what to expect. The second show had a similar sort of story line to an early Angel episode if my mind serves me correctly. I think they were really trying to establish she show at a more adult audience, but it worked for me, so looking forward to epiosde three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mich Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I thought it was great too...certainly an adult theme to it, and I loved the Cardiff CSI reference....'b*llocks , and there was quite a bit of humour too It's great to see a good adult orientated British sci-fi series too for a change to compete with the likes of The X files....i think it has great potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzlerjames Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I enjoyed it and so did my wife and she normally hates that kind of stuff. It ran abit like the x-files crossed with spooks. I liked the little references to Dr Who so we could at least put it in a time context. Lets see if it carries on being good. It had the largest ever audience for BBC3 and the 3rd largest digital audience ever - sounds like another series being comissioned based on that, especially after the "failure" of Robin Hood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Robin Hood too, i think the ratings for that will go up now ant and dec have finished. Anyway Torchwood IMO was awesome, I loved the episodes, it really shows sort what happens to those that the Dr leaves behind and I think if Russell in the end decided to do the Rose spin off it would be almost identical (which is why Im glad its not being made) I really like Jack's character and think we will see a lot more of his history as the show goes on, I cant wai for the next episode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukinvestigator Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 (edited) I was surprised that I actually loved Torchwood. At first I thought I would watch it for the sake of it, but after the first two episodes I think it has a lot of potential. None of the main characters bugged me (well the boyfriend did, but I guess that is because he will be out of the picture soon). The plots were ok (not great) but it set up a pace and you got a jist of what the characters are like and what they will be like as a "team". My only fear is that when promoting Torchwood, it pointed out that it would be more adult, fair-do's - I think they have safely established that. I hope that they go on to tackle more diverse aliens (although the orgasmic one was quite different from the norm!), and doesn't turn into a BBC sci-fi Dynasty, (ok bad description but hey I'm tired!) So yea for Torchwood As for Robin Hood, Great cast (Richard Armitage ), I hope that the plotlines get a bit better. The Marion plot last week bugged me slightly, but I suppose I will have to see how that turns out. PS: Loved the Cardiff CSI line!!

dazzlerjames Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I didn't say that Robin Hood was rubbish (although I tink it is) only that I think the BBC expected it to be the biggest thing this year and it clearly isn't. You may be right though now Ant and Dec have finished viewing figures may go up although I would imagine x-factor may get moved into that time slot!

Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted October 27, 2006 Showmasters Admin Share Posted October 27, 2006 (edited) I quite enjoyed it. I wouldn't say I loved it. It's not got me hooked yet. But give it time and I'm sure it will. I find with a lot of these new show's it takes at least 5 or 6 episodes before I really get into it.

jamie1138 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 i was disappointed. it just wasn't very good,on the whole. either as a spin-off from dr who or as a drama in it's own right. it was trying to be too many things,to attract and appease the mainstream audience. and 'adult' doesn't have to mean sex and swearing... other topics could be tackled...
