Hmph.

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.

I was sure it would be Paterson Joseph or Chiwetel Ejiofor too, maybe Colin Salmon. This is just.. nngh.

Then there's the news that they're taking the sex and swearing out of Torchwood so that more Americans will watch it! This is not a good week.

*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.
