Torchwood (anag. 6, 3)

[altariel]

I'll try to type this up without exploding with excitement: the BBC have announced Torchwood, a 13-part Dr Who spin-off series starring John Barrowman as Captain Jack.

There's a link to an audio interview with RTD from that page; see also the BBC press release.

"Torchwood is a British sci-fi paranoid thriller, a cop show with a sense of humour," says Davies. "It's dark, wild and sexy, it's the X Files meets This Life. It's a stand-alone series for adult audiences which will have its own unique identity."

How cool is that? In my head it's playing like Ultraviolet, only with Captain Jack swanning around snogging everything that moves.

This piece of news really made my morning, too. And lo!, there was much squeeing and rejoicing...

Icon - Fantastic!

Is your icon shareable, aervir?

*joining in the general gobsmacked OMGSquee!*

Well, I got from some icon community where it was up for grabs, so I suppose its creator wouldn't object.

Unfortunately, mylildementor, whom I have credited in my userpic info, seems to have deleted his/her journal recently, so it's no longer possible to contact him/her about any icons. But still, I'd say yes; otherwise, he/she wouldn't have put up any shareable icons at said community.

Which is all a really long-winded way of saying, "of course". :)

It looks like mylildementor has another LJ, omgwtf42; I know this because s/he is the organizer of the tardis_icons comm, and the most recent post was from that user, with a note saying "it's still me".

I agree, it's a fun icon.
I should make a general TV SF one, but I really really don't want to use the phrase "God I love Science Fiction" because of the G*d part. But "I love science fiction" sounds a bit lame. Hmmm.

Ah, thanks for the info! I hadn't known this. Maybe the icon was even posted on tardis_icons; I simply can't remember, not for the life of me.
