April 21st, 2011 | Posted in BBC, Daily Rants, Science Fiction/Science Fact, TV

I began my lifelong love affair with Doctor Who in ’96, right after the made-for-tv movie aired and I was twelve years old. It didn’t take me long to discover old episodes of the show would play every Friday night from 10 to midnight. It wasn’t a school night so I was allowed to stay […]

Torchwood Revisited

June 8th, 2010 | Posted in BBC, Daily Rants, TV
