God, it feels like so long ago I wrote that! But rereading it, I think I still pretty much agree, though the whole issue has receeded in importance I suppose what with my RL becoming rather hectic ( ... )

I need that show. I need that show like BURNING.

If I ever make it big in the TV world, I'm pulling all my contacts to get you producing that show.

One slight glitch is that in the book-canon, the strange (Scottish) man is called Archie, and also in the series Owen says they've spoken on the phone, and I'm sure he'd have recognised Jack's voice.

So, I propose that Jack and Archie co-run it, because Jack no longer wants to run Torchwood after everything that's happened, but ends up sort of doing anyway.

I don't think you understand how much I want/need this show.

I'm glad you approve! Its an idea that just occured to me one day, and I think will always be a part of my personal canon, regardless of whether it actually gets made or whether I ever write it as a fic. But yeah - that's where, were I in charge, the show would go, and/or where if the writers really wanted to impress I think they should take it ( ... )

Hell, if you don't write this, I will.

We need to make awesome TV together. For sure. Five years from now, it'll be our names coming up in the opening credits of Doctor Who and similar. What is it that you're studying at uni, out of interest?

I don't watch House, but that is EXACTLY the sort of relationship I was thinking of. Possibly a little bit more equal as the series goes on, as Jack learns to trust Archie's decisions as much as his own (only to have Archie make the wrong decision during a season finale because angst is part of what makes Jack, and because...well, it would be awesome drama).

Gaaaah, this idea is too perfect. <3 ( ... )

At the moment I'm studying theology, and generally looking at moving into practicing law... But I would adore being an author (I already consider myself to be a writer) and basically I think having RTD's job would be just a dream come true. I live in hope :P ( ... )

I know... Well. Actually, I was thinking more Moffat than RTD. I can be your right-hand man. =D ( ... )
