So the New BBC version of Robin Hood then- live up to the hype did it? It was good swashbuckling fun, ; good but not brilliant. There's only been one show so far though, so it could get even better. It's thanks to the huge critical and commercial success of Doctor Who that we're seeing things like this get made in this country again. I know Hood and Who are on the face of it are very different, but the sci-fi hit proved there was an audience out there for escapist drama (in the loosest sense of the word-with actors playing fictional roles as opposed to reality based programs). Speaking of the Doctor, the ads have started for Torchwood, the adult spin-off of the aforementioned show. And it looks very fricking exciting. It showed after RH, and frankly provoked much more jumping up and down with excitement with yours truly than the preceding 45 minutes.... Can't wait!
