The second series of Torchwood finished last night in the US, so I’m going to pretend that I deliberately avoided writing about it after its UK airing in order to not spoil anyone (rather than admit that I forgot about it).
Of course, after nearly giving up on the show mid-season, the final episode was excellent. Enjoyable as it was, it was also frustrating as hell because it showed what Torchwood is capable of doing and so rarely does. How can a show with such potential to be good so often fall flat?
I think I have the answer.

With season 4 already kicked off in the UK (and about to start in the US), it seemed like a good time for Anna to look back at the season that was.
It seems so long ago. Back in 2005, when the BBC relaunched Doctor Who after an absence of more than a decade, few could have predicted that, just a couple of years later, the departure of a cheesy former pop star from the show would make headline news. But that’s just what happened when Billie Piper jumped ship at the end of the second series. In just two years, Billie had gone from has-been to beloved household name, and when her character Rose Tyler ended up leaving the Doctor, some fans (often, it must be said, those who had never seen the programme in its earlier incarnation) wailed that Doctor Who had strapped on the waterskis and would soon be sailing over that shark.
And yet, it didn’t happen. In fact, in many ways, the third series of Who v.2.0 was the best one yet. Continue reading ‘Third Time’s the Charm for the Doctor’
