  • Welcome to Torchwood House... Omigod, after the first episode of the new series of Doctor Who completely and epically sucked the big one, the new one rocked like a motherfucker. Woot!

anyone for Madame du Popadom – a regal mix of champagne, mango chutney, cardamon and chilli-jellied snail. With spiced wafer.

Magpie Mayhem – Britain’s forgotten fowl. A meaty and surprising affair that will light up anyone’s dessert bowl.

Fish and Chips – red herring sauce drizzled over potato ice cream. A right British treat!

Charlie Brooker in the Guardian said much the same - that the first episode was the weakest in the series and the rest were fucking fantastic.

"Where are you from?"
"Er. The Kingdom of... erm... Balamory."

I still can't stand Doctor Who, I know its aimed at kids but I still find it cringe worthy...on the plus side some of effects work was nice but its still wasted by the inept writing and acting :(
