TW and DW and Vincent and stuuuuffff. And a song.

So I just re-watched Saturday's Doctor Who ep (and I love it just as much *g*) and I went googling to find out whose song played near the end, and I discovered this instead, which... good news? Scary news? I don't know, but...

New series of Torchwood secured by "international partnership"

...which just... I liked what BBC Cymru Wales was doing with it! I don't want it to suddenly be the commercial arm of the BBC and an American tv channel that can't spell Stars properly... The sentence that really made my heart drop? this new instalment will see storylines widen to include locations in the US and around the world... Just... gargh! Did they not watch The New Professionals? I'm crossing my fingers, I really am, but... eeep!

Anyway, I found the song too... (It's bound to be very uncool, since I still rather like it...) *g*

Oh, was Rome first shown on Bravo too? (Apparently that's the thing that Starz did - it made Spartacus: Blood and Sand, which is currently showing on Bravo (which, needless to say, I don't have - but Bravo?) Although apparently John Hannah's in it. And lots of swinging penises amongst the swinging tits, so at least it's equal-opportunities potentially dreadful... Though Charlie Brooker says that around episode five it actually becomes kind of good. So... Oh, I dunno...

*fingers crossed*

Rome was HBO in cahoots with the Beeb, rather than Bravo/Starz/whatever, so maybe a better quality of transatlantic collaboration, but we can hope for the best, no?

I haven't dared go near this new Spartacus thing. I mean, the violence and nudity worked really well for Rome, but mostly comes across as gratuitous in anything else, and if it isn't handled with a delicate touch...well, 'nuff said.

I s'pose we'll just have to wait and see how it goes. And, yes, keep our fingers crossed.

I clearly need to rewatch Rome! *g* Wait - is that what international collaborators add to the Beeb? Nudity and swearing? Cos that's what Brits do? *g* Hmmn...

Need to rewatch because you managed to miss all the violence and nudity first time around? Well, it wasn't all the time - like I said, handled well. And hee, yes apparently...but not 'cause that's what Brits do, but because that's what the HBO (and similar networks) is like. You should watch Deadwood!
