Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Well, well, again the exact opposite opinion of mine! I thought the pace of the first episode totally pedestrian, the second had a lot more going on ( admittedly of an adult nature - but nothing I thought too gratuitous ). We spent a lot of today in work identifying streets in Cardiff where we work from the programme! Hopefully it may do something for the tourist industry too!

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Torchwood scores record audience Torchwood follows secret agents battling human and alien enemiesThe opening episodes of Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood drew the largest digital channel audience for a non-sport programme, says the BBC. The first two instalments of the series, starring John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness, also attracted BBC Three's largest ever audience. The 2100 BST episode had 2.4 million viewers and a 12.7% audience share, the 2145 BST one had 2.3 million (13.8%). Two football matches in 2004 and 2005 earned larger digital TV audiences. BBC Three controller Julian Bellamy said the audience figures for the new sci-fi series were an "incredible achievement". "I'm delighted that last night's Torchwood was such a big hit," he said. The series follows a team of investigators solving alien and human crime and is aimed at an adult audience. It has been written by Russell T Davies, who scripted the comeback series of Doctor Who as well as earlier hits including Queer as Folk and Bob & Rose. Torchwood is set in Cardiff and also stars Welsh actress Eve Myles as Gwen Cooper. The first two episodes will be repeated on BBC Two on Wednesday.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Presumably that person thinks that Cardiff doesn't have an underground network. A lot of knob jokes! Not showing my age because I have never liked programmes just because they contain knob jokes or sex scenes. A snob - definitely. I don't see any point in sitting watching something that grates on my nerves. If it does that for the first ten minutes I am not going to suddenly have a change of heart after another ten minutes. I had not prejudged the programme, because I hoped I would enjoy it and was quite willing to like it. In my opinion it didn't seem to be well directed. John Barrowman was better than he had been in Doctor Who. The story line was just old hat and hackneyed. There was no 'finesse'.

I liked the pace of the first episode - it gave it a nice " mysterious " feel for me, and it certainly moved faster than the average Spielberg film!!! The second episode I thought was just a very, very poor plot. It just seemed to me to be an excuse for lots of sex. Fine, if that's what people want from a TV programme, but it's not what I like. I'd much rather have a good plot and interesting characters. >I also thought a few of the Dr Who story lines were a bit weak also. True - and, generally, the ones which have been written by Russell Davies! As much as I appreciate his efforts to bring Dr Who back, and to give it good production values, I do just wish he would stop writing for it and get more people like Mark Gatiss, Tom MacRae, Matt Jones and Robert Shearman to write the episodes!

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 I agree about the direction, one minute it was all swooping camera work American style of tall buildings and wide open bays, next minute all indoors. Strangley though I didnt think the same as you of captain Jack, I thought his charector as a lead quite weak? There were a few references to Dr Who that fans may have spotted. You may want to have a go at the first episode tomorrow its repeated on BBC2.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Possibly swayed by years of DR Who being before the watershed, and Torchwood being aimed at an adult, post watershed audience? I dont recall there being much blood actualy, I was expecting more, same with swearing, and as for the sex, well that was the whole story in the second episode, after all it was about an alien that fed off orgasmic energy?. There was no sex at all in the first episode. I liked the charectors interaction and humour, it was much in the same vien as Dr Who. We shall have to see if the ratings fall after these two ( which they inevitably will once curiosity has been satisfied ), but I for one will watch every episode.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Sorry Jo, I guess sometimes I just dont think, and I dont usually get upset by anything much, and tend to think other people are the same. I didnt mean your an old bag or I would have just come out and said it, as I am usiually more direct than that ( your not much older than me are you? ). Are you sensative about your age?, I am always saying that I`m an old bugger. Dont take any of the crap that I say to heart, please I`m just a buffoon ( 1 st class with honours ).

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Hi Peter >Possibly swayed by years of DR Who being before the watershed, and Torchwood being > aimed at an adult, post watershed audience? I think that is a bit of an issue. It seems to me that if you're going to do a spin-off from a series, it should really be aimed at a similar sort of audience. Torchwood could quite easily have nothing whatsoever to do with Dr Who - if it had just been its own thing, they still could have had all the elements it has, but wouldn't have lured Dr Who fans into thinking " great, we have a spin off " . Why not just make the same programme without connecting it to a childrens / family programme? > I dont recall there being much blood actualy There was quite a bit when that bloke got " eaten " in the hospital corridor. > There was no sex at all in the first episode. Maybe not direct visual sex, but it was implied quite a bit. > I liked the charectors interaction and humour, it was much in the same vien as Dr Who. I really didn't think it was, but I guess we'll have to disagree :-) BB Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
