Torchwood: Full of sex, and blood

Torchwood: awesome after the first half of the first season.

The new Doctor Who apparently airs in 2009. I don't know why they're waiting so long to air it, I'm pretty sure they've filmed it already, or at least some of it, because there are montages and stuff.

2009, pfft... that really sucks... i've been waiting forever!

emma · Postby **emma** » 13 Mar 2008, 14:59

Yeah, its pretty lame.

Apparently they're taking a year off in 2010 as well, but maybe they will still be airing things then because they're airing these ones a year behind?

!? Wtf? Why the hell is it coming back in 2009? That's almost worthy of a Battlestar Galactica break. (Which is totally rediculous.) I thought it was going to follow the same routine as the previous seasons of Doctor Who, 6 months off, Christmas ep, come back in a 3 months.

Whatever. As long as there's no more inanimate objects coming to life, I'll keep watching. If they keep up with this trend, my fandom for Doctor Who will end, it's all ready on the edge. Mind you, they really do write excellent character development for The Doctor.

Yet the official BBC site says spring 2008. Likely end of March, early April.

Yep, this is what I've been hearing. Soon, in a month or two tops.

The "gap" is going to be 2009, in which David Tenant is going to be playing Hamlet. It'll be back in 2010.

I thought it wasnt going to disappear completely in 2009.
I thought they were doing a few specials instead of a full season.

Wait, he's going to be in a movie called Hamlet? Or a play? Because I would fly to the other side of the world to see the play, if will be a play.

AlexanderDitto · Postby **AlexanderDitto** » 13 Mar 2008, 18:20

Offical word seems to be this: series 4 will air spring this year. We get three specials scattered throughout 2009, while David plays Hamlet with the Royal Shakespeare Company (yes, Cake, theatre). Series 5 starts in 2010.

You guys are forgetting that while David Tennant is playing Hamlet, PATRICK STEWART IS PLAYING CLAUDIUS.

Also I checked wikipedia, I really have no idea if its right.

Yeah, what he said. I've been watching previews on the YouTube, waiting for it.

As for Torchwood, I strongly recommend starting with Series 2, and ending there. Series 1 was an abomination, in my opinion, and should only be watched for the sake of series two, which was fourteen or fifteen times better.

the episode, adrift was sooo sad! i cried... no seriously, i cried... it was so sad

I thought it was sad, but not really a great episode, because there were a lot of logic jumps and shit that they just didn't bother to explain or anything. Fragments was surprisingly good, for a flashback episode, though Tosh's story was pretty lame.

That US only? Because we're getting TV skits saying coming soon now.

Speaking of Doctor Who, even though we aren't doing the Waiting for Harry sketch for Red Nose Day, we are doing a Harry Potter meets Doctor Who sketch, and they are acutally building a TARDIS.
