There are only a couple of Torchwood episodes that I really didn’t like as opposed to several more new Who ones. Children of Earth was probably the biggest thing RTD has been involved that wasn’t at least 50% a mess (TEOT I’m looking at you). Stuff like the Cybermen 2-parter, the Daleks 2-parter, The Doctor’s Daughter, 42, Fear Her, Last of the Time Lords, The Idiot’s Lantern - I never want to see those episodes EVER again. I can’t say that about any Torchwood.

Btw it’s worth noting that people are allowed to have opinions that differ. Last time I checked…

Den of Geek are a confederacy of dunces. As, by the way, are Digital Spy, who are doing stupid things like telling everybody that David Tennant has a cameo when it’s all the more likely he appears in a flashback or a “The Next Doctor”-esque recall moment.

Digital Spy do however have this:

I think we’ve experienced this period of time before, sir.

They did mention that all

ChrisM — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 18:20:51 +0000

They did mention that all the effects,etc, weren’t quite up to date.

And I was more interested in their view of the story really. Not that mine will necessarily be the same, but I think I’d be reasonably happy if it’s like what they described.

I wouldn’t trust DoG too

Jonathan Capps — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 17:45:58 +0000

I wouldn’t trust DoG too much, as they failed to notice the title sequence they describe as being similar to the old, is in fact the old one revamped a bit for use in the press screening, and we’re getting the proper one on broadcast.

DoG did a spoiler-free

ChrisM — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 17:43:57 +0000

DoG did a spoiler-free review for episode 1 a short while ago.

They’re basic verdict seems to be, ‘good as an opener, but people expecting the tone to be drastically different from RTD’s Who will be disappointed’. (I’m not one of them by the way. I wasn’t keen on a lot of RTD’s plot resolutions, but I didn’t have that much problem with the overall tone. Apart from the hero worship stuff.)

Stick a fork in it, it’s

Stick a fork in it, it’s done.

Yup, get it on the front

SingingPotato1979 — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 11:25:18 +0000

Yup, get it on the front page! ;o)

Here’s the info that I’ve been dutifully spreading around the interwebs:

On Monday 22nd March a Youtube competition will be launching to mark the arrival of Red Dwarf: Back to Earth on iTunes.

To compete, entrants will need to submit an impersonation of a Red Dwarf character – videos can be posted to the Red Dwarf channel takeover on the BBC Comedy Greats Youtube channel once the competition launches next Monday.

So in the meantime get practising – top prizes up for grabs include a pair of free tickets to Dimension Jump and lots of Red Dwarf goodies. The competition will be judged by the Red Dwarf team at Grant Naylor Productions.

To keep up to date on the competition, you can become a fan on the temporary Red Dwarf: Back to Earth fanpage: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Red-Dwarf-Back-to-Earth/365550116519 “

Blimey. If you pretty much

Pete Part Three — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 10:05:05 +0000

Blimey. If you pretty much enjoyed every episode of Torchwood, you should defnitely try and squeeze in every episode of Tennant’s Doctor Who. You’ll proabably even enjoy Fear Her.

Er, we should probably have

Seb Patrick — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 09:40:52 +0000

Er, we should probably have this on the front page instead of blathering about cancelled conventions, shouldn’t we?

Well, most people told me

Carl Wheatley — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 08:41:33 +0000

Well, most people told me Torchwood wasn’t worth bothering with (someone on here - can’t remember who - told me to skip series 1 and 2 and just watch Children of Earth!) but I’ve really enjoyed pretty much every episode…

and there wasn’t an episode of Ecclestone Who I didn’t like either…

so I guess I’ll be a glutton for punishment and watch them all.

You are consistently wrong. Please stop doing that.

> so that gives me how long to watch every Tennant episode before the new one starts? Two weeks? Yikes…

Pleeease don’t watch every episode, unless you want to experience a pretty depressing fortnight…

Just make sure you check out the good ones like The Girl In The Fireplace, The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit, The Runaway Bride, Smith & Jones, Blink, Utopia, Silence In The Library/Forest of the Dead, Midnight etc.
