I predicted Matt Smith yesterday, the stupid, foetus-faced, pixel-eyed Mekon that he is. Now I'm going to have to make good on my threat to go to Wales and beat Russell T Dickface around the head with my biggest, heaviest dildo. Ugh.
Hurrah! He'll see the error of his filthy ways when a posse of enraged, yet sensible shoe-wearing women storm up to him. Steven Moffat's on the list too.
I am a bit put off by his forehead (fivehead?), and this is coming from someone who could have her face used as a cinema screen. My joy at the dying throes of the "OMGsqueeILUVTEN!" brigade is unbounded by Mr Smith's odd topography though. I'm just a bit pissed off that I actually predicted him, I hate when I'm right, spoils the surprise!
I will gladly assist in the lending of blunt instruments and epithets. I was holding out for either Chiwetel Ejiofor, Tricky or Julia Sawalha, and we get Tennant-lite. Meh.
they're taking the sex and swearing out of Torchwood
*headdesk* *headdesk*
so that more Americans will watch it
*HEADFLOOR*
Americans have no problem with sex and swearing, even in their sci-fi. (Corporate overlords, on the other hand, just might.) But Torchwood without the sex and swearing might as well just merge with The Sarah Jane Adventures, then. Sweet Holy Cow. Now I feel bad for not getting into Torchwood....

Exactly. Yeah, Mr Barrowman reckons that Americans have been deemed to be too frail to cope with the saucier elements of the show. Oh how I laughed! http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/cult/a139378/new-torchwood-toned-down-for-us-market.html
I don't know why they don't just sell the 'family' version of Torchwood that they already make here.
I know, he'd have been good. I quite like Colin Salmon too but then he appeared in the library episodes, which sort of ensured he wasn't in the running. I'm just hoping we don't get an eleven year old, personality-efficient assistant. I want Liz Smith from the Royle Family or Clyde from the Sarah Jane Adventures, because he's so cute and very grown up all of a sudden. He'd do well. I swear we only watch that to see the cast's voices shift whole octaves between scenes.

"He'll need to be an absolutely amazing actor, then!"
I may die from laughing.

He is more than 13 years younger than me. I think I need to stop watching...
