I think Marc's like Dick Francis: his wife writes them, and he takes all the credit...if credit's the right word! 
Torchwood... Page 21

I wish I had some credit. I was crunched before the city was. And yes some more Jack Delaney whimsy.
But back to Torchwood. I hope it works well but how many people who don't like this sort of thing are going to see it stranded acroos the whole week in prime time - and what are their reactions going to be I wonder??

Can I be named in your book Marc please? Call the next prostitute that's murdered Ellie.

They could watch another channel for the hour it's on? I'm sure they'll cope!

Yeah but five days in a row they might be a little peeved. This show hasn't even been on BBC1 before!

It does seem odd scheduling, stripped across five nights. Not sure I can stomach John Barrowman every night, as opposed to the usual every other night. And the fact that it's the summer (viewing figures are worse then) does give the impression they're trying to offload it as quickly as possible. That said, it could be the BBC trying something brave!

Ahem hem hem...
Or Laura!
Twins!
Ooh, the murder of conjoined prostitutes!
(ew)
Would that count as one murder or two?
I like it.

Poor luvs!
Couldn't you just stab one in the brain?
Griff why do I sometimes suspect you'd have been drawing up naughty and nice lists for Stalin.
Didn't imply you'd have been liquidating more people than a jumbo moulinex. More that you have strong almost trenchant views.
I really enjoyed that. Looking forward to tomorrows episode.
