There's a short article Here where RTD has an each way bet that the BBC'll bring back Torchwood for Season 4. And with Captain Jack, he seems to think.
It's an interesting read, mainly for what's between the lines and not being said, but it's worth it alone just to read all the comments.
I certainly hope the BBC reads all the comments.

Try as I might, it seems that I am destined to spend my time here complaining.
Give it up and just get on with it, I tell myself.

John Barrowman visited the Tourist Office Memorial in Cardiff recently. Here are some photos to prove it.

What did he do there?
He mocked us, of course.
And our dead favourite TV character, naturally.

John, you are a fuck. You continue to be a fuck. And you will always be a fuck.

Is laughing uncontrollably.
The things you find when you're looking for clips of Gareth David-LLoyd on GMTV being interviewed for Girl Number 9. I don't know if there were any clips, because I got distracted by a short, 3 minute piece, of Gareth reading on stage from a how-to book, on fisting. Among other things.
Yes, you heard right ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P783l05o0xY
*wipes tears of laughter away*
And it's the first time I've seen him live where his thick Welsh accent is completely absent and you can clearly hear. Every. Single. Word. The jury's still out whether this is a Good Thing, but it's made my night for sure.

(And you'll be pleased to know that the LJ spell-check rejected the word 'fisting') (Twice now)

Apropos of seeing that Ianto GDL is filming a guest part on The Bill, James Marsters was on the episode of Lie To Me that showed in Sydney yesterday. He looked hot and seemed to really get into his character, which I really, really liked ... right up to the bit where he died at the end.

WTF television, is nobody allowed to live anymore ?????

It's funny the news that can reach all the way down here.
After only catching the end of a talk-piece on one of our morning shows, I hopped onto youtube and scrabbled around until I found what was causing the uproar.
I'd never heard of Danyl Johnson until 20 minutes ago.
(But boy is he cute!)

What on earth made Dannii Minogue stop the show and say those things to Danyl?
On international TV?!!
I'm not sure which is worse, her attempting to out a gay guy, or attempting to out a straight guy.
Regardless, what on earth was she hoping to achieve?
I'm pretty good at reading people, and from the way he was upset, my guess is that she may well spilled an up-to-now well-kept secret.

ETA the relevant 6min clip from youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCNfGaNM7_c

**Snort**

copperbadge has a new Jack Harkness doll, and he's not afraid to use it.

If you haven't already seen, go have a look, it's very funny *g*

** Guess who’s in the back sunroom working with power tools?
It’s only been five days since we spent a total of 16 hours in emergency. For goodness sakes, the stitches don’t come out for another seven days. I don’t know whether to applaud the get-back-on-the-horse attitude or go in there myself and finish the job.

** Like several other friends recently, I’m going to have an overhaul of my friends-list. It’s long overdue and even though I hate doing it (it just seems rude to me, don’t ask me why) it needs to be done. A number of my friends have moved on – permanently – from Torchwood, and even though I spend most of my time complaining about it, it is still the main reason I'm here.

And also, it’s been three months since Children of Earth pissed in the pool and ruined it for everyone, and I’m back to wanting to dramatically shrink the time I waste spend on all of it. I won’t make the stupid mistake I did last time and say I’m going to quit altogether (gees, stupid much?), but I am now back at the place where I need to cut down most of it and make my way out of the drug-induced mire and back into the real world.

I’ll leave it a few days before I start cutting, to give everyone a chance to read this. If you think I might be going to wave the scissors in your direction and you really want to stay, just comment here or PM me; I say this with absolutely no conceit, I just want to cover all bases. If I do cut you, know that it hurts me to do so and I have enjoyed our time together.

I will try to post more often and make it more of a balance between complaining about fandom things and real life. Who knows, I’m even getting the urge again to finish the CoE story I started. But it will mean watching the horrid thing again (which I haven’t since it aired) so don’t hold your breath. There are two other stories half done and I’m also fighting getting the urge to complete them.

** As if to reiterate this, just before I posted this, christine_twfan posted a final Torchwood story – and a thank you and farewell note to everybody. Another one beaten down by CoE. It saddens me, but in a philosophical way.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK yelled very loudly from the back sunroom where the husband is using an electric jigsaw to cut a piece of sheet metal.

Awful pause.

"Do you need the hospital?" I ask, not wanting to go into the room.

"Yes please." Another pause. "I'll need a clean towel first."

(Oh god please don't make me have to look.)

"Will I need to pick things up before we go?" I ask, still in the hallway.

"No . . . . I don't think so . . . no . . . the thumb's still there . . . just."

( cut for length of ranting . . .  )

Gakked from verasteine

( TV meme below the cut . . .  )

YE GODS my F-list is a place of woe, ranting, and misery today.

I'm not having a go at any of you for this, everybody seems to have a thoroughly good reason for the problems being aired/discussed.

But if I wasn't weary and depressed before, I AM NOW. Thanks for that, I'm going to go finish watching Hey Hey the Reunion Show, get drunk AND F-CKING GO TO BED.

I expect you to have smartened yourselves up by morning-time and if you haven't I'm damn well going to get drunk over breakfast. See if I don't. I have three bottles of champagne left over from the Pony Party @ tencrush's place and I'm not afraid to use them.

I'm finding the skeevy gossip about GDL's alleged misbehaviours over the weekend quite amusing.
He really does have delusions of rock star grandeur, doesn't he?
The worst of it though is that he's making me realise that one can be a weirdo with class, talent and looks (JB) or one can be a weirdo without any discernible taste in clothes, looks, hygiene, music, food, drink, drugs. And behaviour. Apparently.

He can't even blame this one on JB's bad influence.

I've just read, that - allegedly - the original writing of Day 4's death scene had Jack saying 'I love you too' back to Ianto, but when they did it that way it sucked (her words, not mine) so they rewrote it to the way we saw on screen.
It's not even 9am here yet and already my day has ended up down the proverbial.

Playing around with shit simply because I can't be arsed to read fic, or even watch TV. And it's too early to go to bed, even for me.

Yes I am still alive, mainly because nobody has been gracious enough to shoot me and put me out of my misery.

Here, have a pic selected randomly from a batch sent from beaususan, of a lunch we went to recently in Newtown with fellow fans. Everyone in the pic (except the gentleman on the right) are on LJ, and yes, I am in there too.




Now I know how easy it IS to upload pics there may be more to follow.

After the RL week I've been having, I cannot tell you how much I love the ask!verse people.

Nano toes .... three cycles with toenails, two cycles without.

But - oh god - I can feel the OC part of my brain start to crawl, with the need to know now just how many dried macaronis it takes to make a waistcoat ?

I may just have to find out. Although, it probably won't be bullet-proof.

I've been spending quite a few hours today re-reading through some lovely old Torchwood stories *coughsamcough* as I've been doing the archiving that I promised to do, and have come across many references to Ianto's father as a tailor, since most of them have been S2 stories.

( I got hit by a random thinkie . . .  )

Oh John Barrowman. In an interview at SDCC on the weekend...
" So sad ... Ianto was gassed by a giant, alien fart ! "
Followed shortly by,
" We need to get Jack a new piece of arse. "
Followed by a paroxysm of John-style laughter.
Words fail me right now. I have a raging desire to do violence.

ETA: I'm not in the mood to be preached at, so if you don't agree with the sentiments, please don't comment.

I may be engaging in a game of Chinese whispers because I haven't seen anything official yet, but people are saying that Torchwood has been renewed for a 4th season.

( If it is true I am completely ambivalent about it . . .  )

Something - one of many things - that was bugging me about Children of Earth finally percolated to the surface ...

( Peek underneath for $64,000 question . . .  )

Most of you on my friends list would know that Australia plays cricket?

Would someone please remind our cricket team of that?
