*nods* Yep it's a real place (it's about a half an hour drive from where I live). One upon a time it was a sleepy little village, and I suppose, technically speaking the sleepy little village is still there. All most people see these days, though, is a 'motorway' style Service Area as they drive by on their way to the coast.
Hee I was thinking it was even longer but, of course, I've only ever driven to North Wales.
Not ALL no but a vast majority of them do, yes. I also think there was a higher than average proportion of white shirts, ties and blazers in last night's episode though. Most schools - around my area anyway - have a uniform much more like the stuff here
And he kept wailing it had been triple deadlocked/deadbolted which justs sounded LAME even if it's possible...
Private schools (religious ones) have uniforms like that here, but no public ones that I'm aware of.
The theft of the SUV became a running gag, but it was just so DUMB. Fancy schmancy cars these days have a button you can press on your keychain or by calling the hotline that will kill the engine. Torchwood doesn't have that?
And it could have been made so much funnier by Ianto actually 'sorting it out'
Ianto to BIL (producing a widget from his pocket): Put the brick down, man! BIL: And then what'll I throw? Ianto (sighing just a little bit): Nothing. Just... *points widget* ... watch.
Cut to the SUV as it screeches to a halt and then proceeds to spin in donuts in the middle of the road. The air is filled with the faint haze of burning rubber.
Cut to Ianto turning a teeny tiny wheel on the widget.
BIL (only half sarcastic): Oh very James Bond!
Ianto (waving at the joyriders inside the SUV. Their faces are pressed up against the windows.): Bog standard equipment for Civil Servants these days. (He smiles grimly, presses a button and casually pockets the widget before the BIL can get a closer look.)
Cut to the car doors being thrown open as the SUV rocks to a standstill and the joyriders tumble out to weave their way dizzily down the road.
Cut back to the look on BIL's face :OIanto (grinning as he strolls past): Right then, I'd
( ... )
The stolen SUV annoyed me. These guys have stupid amounts of technology and they don't have common things like remote disablers? Or a variant that returns the car to base? Or locks that actually work?
I keep seeing Peter Capaldi as the Angel Islington and thinking this is all one of his plots.
Oh yes. Someone give RTD an atlas please? Then again, Eaast Grinstead is Weirdness Central, what with the Scientologists and all, so maybe it kind of beamed over the country a bit?

Ho-hu-kus is most excellent.

Something I was wondering- do ALL school kids in the UK wear uniforms?
I thought the stealing of the Torchwood SUV was a little ridiculous. It has all that alien and fancy tech and is still hotwireable? Please.
