In this world of doom and gloom we all need a break, recharge the old mental battery, well here is the show for you, Torchwood the spin off from Dr Who. The show has been transferred to BBC 1 and is on for five nights. The first two nights have been great, Captain Jack and the Team are on the run. The Government wants to kill them, No Captain Jack has not tried to chat up the PM!! The aliens 456 are on the way, how come the the team was not asked to deal with them, they better be more scary that the Daleks and Cybermen. Have to admit my favourite is Gwen Cooper, player by Eve Myles, intelligent, attractive and can shoot two guns at the same time, what more can a man ask for, we all know what Captain Jack would ask for, but beyond the scope of this page!! On a more culture side, what is fantastic about Captain Jack Harkness as played by the one and only John Barrowman is that through Dr Who and Torchwood it has changed this Bloggers view about gay issues. As with Willow in Buffy, Jack has allowed old culture Conservatives like me to change my previous views on different cultural issues, like gay marriage, now in favour. It is through good story telling not been told that its PC to change one views, that cultural opinion can be changed, so thank god for Willow and Jack, could we ever get a crossover between Buffy and Torchwood.
