Last night's double-dose debut of Torchwood lived well up to expectations. If you've ever felt Doctor Who is all well and good, but what it really needs is swearing, violence and saucy bits, then this is the show for you. If you don't like Doctor Who though, it's really not going to be your hot beverage of choice. People may have suggested it's something like a British X-files, but really this is somewhat inaccurate. Despite the alien busting similarity this is made for people who love the more silly and fun atmosphere of Who, mixed with a darker more adult edge. I can imagine it might be in from some criticism, from those who will feel it is being aimed at kids, despite not being suitable. The post-watershed screening (and basically all publicity material) makes it explicitly clear this is aimed at Adults. A good preportion of the revived Doctor Who audience is adults, and this is aimed at them. Anyone who complains should frankly be slapped in the face. To be honest I don't think it will be warping any fragile tiny minds anyway. Terrestial Analouge UK auidiences get to make up their own minds this wednesday, 9pm BBC2
