My ds (9) is nagging me to let him watch 'Torchwood'. He is a MASSIVE Dr Who fan, and loves Captain Jack. But I was a bit worried as I noticed it was post watershed, and I have now seen in my TV Mag that it's "not only scarier than Dr Who but also bloodier and raunchier - with both human and alien sex scenes" So he is DEFINITELY not seeing it!! And oh god has he been moaning at me!! Why have they decided to make it like this? They must know that a large proportion of kids will want to watch it!!

His boyfriends called Scott.

BTW, that was an incredibly well attended sperm donor clinic wasnt it? I heard on the radio a few weeks ago that there are so few donors in this country that thay are getting desperate. Apparently theres only one in the whole of Scotland! They need to get down to Cardiff and stock up.

Oh Aitch - I had such high hopes for the whole series.

(Like your new name, btw )

I really enjoyed both episodes tonight. There's not a chance that ds10 or ds7 will be viewing the series - totally inappropriate for kids but mildly amusing for adults.

Can you imagine the unresolved childish wonderings....'if you put your todger in a girl you might explode!'. Not ready for that convo yet.

Really enjoyed both episodes, lots of fun spotting places in Cardiff, as we live in Cardiff

What was the show like? i didn't notice any of it - was err salivating over one certain leading man who has never done anything for me before in my life... Still don't fancy him as him but in this role I wouldn't say no, if he were ever to ask me...

I got mildly annoyed by the overhead shots of Cardiff which popped up seemingly every 3 minutes !

noseymum · 24/10/2006 09:23

I thought the overhead shots were really good.

But then i liked Torchwood fullstop!

i'm still shocked to find that there are other folk on here who read DWM too!!!.....scared now that someone'll have read on online reviews of 'who' stuff from years ago and hold it against me lol
