Whatever you say Jack, I’m sure you think you’re right, whatever counter -argument has been put forward. However this….

Might explain Mr Jones’ little contribution to this discussion. If that article wasn’t pre-judgement, I don’t know what is.

And that’s my final say on the matter…

“It’s only shallow people who do not judge by appearances”…wouldn’t Oscar Wilde have been a fantastic BB houseguest?

Hello Nick – I’m giving up on this thread after this post, because clearly we’re not going to agree – and restating our opinions time after time isn’t going to change that. I don’t have a problem that we don’t agree, and I hope you don’t either.

I wouldn’t want this to turn into one of those combative message board threads that just exists for the sake of having an argument. As for Ian’s contribution, it’s a public forum so he’s welcome to say what he likes (as is anyone – including those who might agree with your opinion). However, his post certainly wasn’t part of a coordinated plan, so we are not – as you say – “ganging up”. I presume Ian posted because he felt he had a valid point to make.

Anyway, you can now either decide that this post is also a “sure sign that the argument has been lost”, or you can take it for what it really is, which is an attempt to draw a line under a thread that isn’t really going anywhere productive. Over to you…

I’m not suprised you’ve butted in Ian. You always put the boot in. You should look back on your ‘reviews’. It’s as if you didn’t even fucking like TV!

Ganging up eh? I sure sign that the argument has been lost…

Let me see if I understand Nick correctly. You’re not allowed to express an opinion on a programme until it has finished its run. Ah well, I hope Coronation Street gets axed soon, I’m dying to say what I think about that episode from May 1982…

Right, first things first.
1. My god, you talk a load fo crap, don’t you. All those fancy phrases that no one has really heard of or knows what it means, i mean, you could of put supercalafragilisticexpialidosius in that waffle and no-one would of realised!!
2. What the hell does Torchwood (best programme ever, i might add) have to do with Big Brother??? They are absolutely completely different! (I’m not saying though, that i ain’t completely obsessed with Big Brother) but how can you compare two totally different shows!!
3. You may not have liked the previous series of Torchwood (how!! are you insane??) but obviously a majority of people disagree with you on that one, otherwise the show would not have been promoted from BBC 3, to BBC 2 then eventually BBC One. That obviously shows how brilliant the show is!!
4. Also if you don’t think the show is very good why are u slaggin it off! Just because you don’t like it don’t try and ruin it for the rest of us who do!!
5. Torchwood is one of the best sci-fi shows around at the mo (aside from doctor who, but nothing beats that) and as i may add is form BBC WALES!! shows pure welsh spirit!!
I would like to add about Johnny (ianto’s sister’s husband) and his friends form the estate showed a perfect portrayal of a typical welsh estate!! Brilliantness in a jam jar me thinks!!
Any way, i shall end on this one final statement
TORCHWOOD ROCKS SO YA BOO SUCKS TO YOU!!!

You should have waited till the end of the story. It was only four days away, not 13 weeks like Big Brother!

I’d take your point if I hadn’t posted another review of Torchwood at the end of week which basically conceded that my initial opinion had proven to be wrong.

I still can’t see why you can’t see the connection between prematurely writing off a programme like Torchwood and then getting all huffy when others have not shown consideration to BIg Brother 10.

‘Oh they’ve not seen it’ is the line of defence, but really Jack, the first ‘episode’ would have been seen by the critics as they are still required to at least sample what was in store. And what did we get: The usual rag bag of contestants, all carefully chosen to match Channel 4′s demographic. How where they to know what the series would actually be like? Just as how were you to know that Children of Earth would turn out to be one of the TV events of the year?
