4th March, 2021.
Yes: it’s officially my birthday.
And, once again?
I’m not telling you my age, thank you … !
But if you want to put something in my tip jar, you’d be VERY welcome!
~≈🎂≈~
I mentioned, in yesterday’s Teaser, that the BBC were planning to revive
BBC3.
Inevitably?
There’s now calls to revive Torchwood.
At least, according to
this piece from the
Radio Times, the BBC’s in-house listings magazine.
First things first? I notice the cock-up.
The article mentions Naomi More:
who bakes cakes on Twitter.
Rather than mentioning
Naoko Mori: the Japanese born actress who played Torchwood regular, Toshiko Sato.
Secondly?
I’m not sure that reviving the series would necessarily be a good idea.
It’s been a long time since the show was on, after all, and it’s a very different world.
Personally? I still remember Captain Jack saying that ‘his’ Torchwood, Torchwood Cardiff, was Torchwood Three.
Torchwood One was London: destroyed in the Battle of Canary Wharf.
And that Torchwood Two was in Glasgow: the man who ran it was ‘
very strange.’
And that’s from Captain Jack Harkness!
But … ? A one man Torchwood operation, a
Dr Who linked, sci-fi equivalent, of
Sam Spade, Phillip Marlowe and Mike Hammer?
I’d’ve paid good money for that!
