Nope. Only his arm! ;-)

The End of Series 1 .

That was just his hand and the sound of the TARDIS, the
Doctor never actually appeared in the episode.

Reportedly, the Doctor was never in Torchwood because the moron in
charge didn't want kids watching Torchwood and thought if they knew the
Doctor was in it, then they would want to watch it.

I'd never heard that one before, but that could well be the
case as "Torchwood" was supposed to be more of an adult
orientated show. With the parent show being aimed more at
children and family audience.

I heard that this was a policy decision, because children

Not sure if it's allowed, plus they'd get shut down a lot quicker if
they're posted everywhere.

I can't be bothered watching it anyway. :-)

It wasn't that bad actually.

I can't be too nitpicky as it was only the first two episodes,
but they were watchable. "The War Between the Land and the Sea"
won't win any BAFTA's for its writing, but for a Sunday evening
in front of the fire it was better TV fare than watching
non-celebrities eating Kangaroo testicles in the jungle for some
ego boosting publicity in the tabloids today... leading to more
appearances in other 'celebrity' reality shows!

Plus, the Sea Devils were better than they were in their last
outing in 2022.

I didn't think Doctor Who had been a children's show for a verrrry long time.

Most children these days wouldn't be caught dead watching
"Doctor Who".

That is how bad it has gotten.

Or more correctly, how much choice the kids of today have
when it comes to media and entertainment... as opposed to
growing up when there was only two/three TV channels to
watch.

A bit late now... that has always been my destiny! ;-)

I will probably be very nitpicky when I come to do my reviews
of episodes three and four... they went downhill quicker than
the submersible that was carrying the human ambassadors down
to meet the Sea Devils!!!
