Torchwood, Series One (first part)

[nwhyte]

Next in line of my Doctor Who rewatch is the first ever Who spinoff to run for more than an episode. Well, it's better than K9 and Company in oh so many ways...

Jack essentially tells the Doctor as much, when they meet again and Ten is clearly appalled and infuriated to find that Jack is part of Torchwood.

I find it funny sometimes to think that Torchwood was meant to be the adult spin off with all it's gore, swearing and dark tones and yet the kiddie spin off IMO turned out far more mature, while this was talking orgasm aliens, lesbian encounters and sewer mouths, Sarah Jane tackled issues such as Alzheimers, teenage deaths and parental responsibilities.

I really loved Torchwood despite not being a Who fan at all. It stood on its own for me.

You probably already know this, but there was a DVD extra of some variety about the music for Torchwood, and the composer said that the rhythm he used for the brilliant scene where Jack comes bursting in on the tractor was based on someone saying "Here he comes, on a bloody great tractor!" :-)
