Tja, ze kunnen moeilijk Gwyneth laten zien in de serie, want dan zou de casting een beetje opvallen.

2) Hij zei (quote wiki)that it could have been formed by a "dimensionally transcendental chameleon circuit" that "welded its perception properties to a spatio-temporal rift" in that area.
Dus dat de Tardis daar stond in Boom Town en haar eigenschappen heeft overgegeven aan de steen waar zij op stond. Een andere rift dus dan dé Rift. Of dat denk ik tenminste.

Bad language, lots of blood and a cool metal glove that can bring the dead back to life ... Torchwood is Doctor Who for grown-ups

Doctor Who is a distant memory, Jane Eyre has finished, Robin Hood turns out to be rubbish (see my correction below). Where is there to go to lose oneself on a dark, damp weekend evening? Scrabble? I think I may just top myself. Wait, what's this? Torchwood (BBC3), that's what.
Oh, I see, it is actually a spin-off from Doctor Who, and comes from inside the head of Russell T Davies, which isn't a bad place to start. One-time colleague of the Doctor, Captain Jack Harkness, and his team of special ops time-travellers are operating from under the ground, and from above and outside the parameters of world politics and the law, battling aliens who have already invaded the earth (I think).

They've got some cool equipment. One of them has a special metal glove that can bring dead people, and flies, back to life, but only for a couple of minutes (there's nothing afterwards, we find out, by the way - no heaven, nothing). The one called Owen has something even more excellent: a spray that makes women want to jump straight into bed with him, like Lynx, except that it actually works.

And this time it goes out after nine, so it's grown-ups' TV. "It's a fucking disgrace," says a copper to prove it, about I can't remember what. And later on in this first episode, an alien sinks his considerable teeth into the neck of a cleaner - post watershed means plenty of bloodshed.

Guess where it's all set, though. LA? Nope. Cardiff? Correct. "CSI Cardiff, I'd like to see that," says the same copper who was swearing a bit earlier. "It'd be measuring the velocity of a kebab." He can joke about it, but what he doesn't realise is that there's a rift in space and time running straight through the Welsh capital - so there's all sorts of weird stuff going down, not least the fact that the sewers are infested with aliens. This is where Torchwood needs to be.

They've done their best to sex the place up - lots of helicopter shots of that posh bit where Charlotte Church lives, but it still looks like Cardiff, to be honest. No matter - most of the interesting things are going on below the ground. That's where Captain Jack and the team are. And the aliens.

It's not yet clear whether Eve Myles as new Torchwood recruit PC Gwen Cooper can fill Billie Piper's boots. Surely not - those boots are two gaping weekend voids that no one can fill. But this looks promising: it's slick, quick and a tiny bit scary. Not much humour yet, which was the lovely thing about Doctor Who. But it's early days; don't jump quite yet.
