Torchwood - now I can see what all the fuss was about
Being back in the UK, I can take advantage of seeing fantastic UK TV programs, as they go to air. Thankfully BBC 3 started showing Torchwood (Dr Who spin off) from the beginning. (It was first shown in 2006).
Episode 1 Season 1 “Everything Changes” introduced me to Bisexual Timelord Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) and crew. It started with a body. PC Gwen Cooper’s at a crime scene: what she sees there will change her life forever.
Russell doesn’t mess about with this opening episode - you’ll meet every regular cast member within four minutes of the start. Add in rain, helicopter shots and a Weevil. Director Brian Kelly has done a wonderful job.
Its great to see an actor who is gay, playing bisexual 51st Century character Captain Jack Harkness in a BBC Sci Fi drama. In real life of course John Barrowman is openly gay and married to partner architect Scott Gill. Barrowman is a great out gay role model. After watching the show last night, I had to go over to You Tube to watch the Jack and Jack kiss at the end of the season, as I cant possibly wait for 12 weeks for that!
