Torchwood and Doctor Who on BBC America

 I watched Torchwood for the first time on BBC America Saturday night.   I have to say I was impressed.  Still doesn't answer the question as to how our dear Captain Jack got off of Satallite 5 and back to Cardiff, but I'm sure they explain that when he shows up on Season three of DW.  I'm waiting for that to air on Sci Fi.  

As far as the second season of Doctor Who is concerned, I was disappointed that they chopped Christmas Invasion to bits.  I know it was a ninety minute episode and BBC America cut it down to an hour, but they cut some good lines.  New Earth didn't seem to be chopped up that much, I could be wrong.

And to round out our DW viewing on Saturday night, BBC America aired the Graham Norton that David just did.  It was funny.  Okay, it was more than just a little funny.  Of course it was a little strange as well, but that's Graham Norton for you.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the rest of DW season 3 on Sci Fi and to Torchwood on BBC America.

They're Playing Our Song

I get recommendations from Amazon.  And because I put John Barrowman's Reflections on Broadway they recommended the original Broadway cast album of They're Playing Our Song.  I actually thought about buying it because Martin Shaw was in it at some point.  Yep, I'm a goner.  It's still sitting there on my recommendations, tempting me.   I'm sure I'll tell them I don't want it at some point.  But for now, it's recommending something that Martin was at least in, even if he's not on the soundtrack.
