BBC Announces Adult Doctor Who Spin-Off
Dogtanian writes "The BBC has just announced a new 'Doctor Who' spin-off called 'Torchwood'. It is intended to be more adult in tone, and will follow a team investigating alien activities in modern-day Britain. Described as a cross between 'The X-Files' and 'This Life', it will feature Captain Jack, the bisexual time-travelling conman who featured in a number of recent Who episodes. The BBC are likely hoping that this spin-off will be more successful than 'K9 and Company'. The title is an anagram of a popular British sci-fi series, by the way."
TV IS getting even worst. They don't feature perverted weirdos enough it seems... >_>
I fear that in the next 50 years we'll have people shagging farm animals on TV shows. So much for evolution...
I know now what I'm missing with the new Doctor Who program on the BBC. I'm not twice as glad that I'm missing it, but I sure miss the original series when there were clever script writers/editors like Robert Holmes and Douglas Adams, great leads like Tom Baker/Patrick Troughton, and heterosexual producers like Phillip Hinchcliffe and Barry Letts. Those days are gone now, it seems. Damn shame, but it's not just TV this days. It's our culture. The occasional gay/transexual/bi/goat-loving tv character never hurt anybody, but I never wanted to watch a so-called science fiction program where the characters are obsessed with (bi/homo/tri)sexuality in every episode.
Just when you thought British TV couldn't get any worse...
