Miracle Day

There has been no Torchwood for a long time. The BBC keeps doing this; they give us a little bit of Torchwood, and then they take it away again for ages. And then they bring it back for a bit, and make it a bit shinier (and a bit less original, but apparently to the wider world, "less original" means "better"). And then they take it away again. I am not entirely sure that this is acceptable behaviour, but the BBC is very hard to argue with.

But now they are apparently giving me ten whole new episodes. This is five more than they gave me last time, so I am trying to overlook the fact that it's also three less than they used to give me. Given that episode one involved helicopters, however, it's probably rather more expensive than it used to be, so I should be understanding, and not make too much of a fuss about being three episodes down. I am not very good at understanding. Obviously the BBC and all of the important people involved in making me shiny new Torchwood all read this stuff all the time, so I would like to make it clear at this point that I would much rather have thirteen episodes of cheap Torchwood than ten episodes of very flash Torchwood. However.

I have Torchwood! Shiny new Torchwood, with the long, swishy RAF coat, and the wriststrap! I have missed the wriststrap. And I hope that the watchchain didn't blow up when the lovely secret underground headquarters did. Maybe it's indestructible too? After all, if you're indestructible, you'll want your things to be as well. And the wriststrap obviously is. Sorry, I appear to be rambling.
