And so tonight we returned to Cardiff for the first of 13 weeks of Doctor Who's "adult" spin-off Torchwood. It's been a while since I've last watched it but I managed to settle in quite quickly. Visually it looks shinier than Series One (I gather that was a rather hurried production).
James Marsters (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) looks to be a recurring character as Captain John Hart (perhaps like Star Trek: The Next Generation's Q) and of course we will be seeing Freema Agyreman return as Martha Jones. We got a preview of what looks to be a near epic(ish) series (nuclear warheads, end of the world etc. - as if a giant demon stomping Cardiff in Series One's apocalyptic finale wasn't epic enough!) with all the gratuitous sex references thrown in (it's the end of the world and Owen Harper's suggestion is "Lets all have sex.")
Any Christians eager for the pre-watershed edit of the first episode should'nt expect a squeaky-clean cut though I may yet be surprised. I still expect Captian Jack awkwardly asking Ianto out on a date.
