LOWCULTURE TELEVISION REVIEW OF THE YEAR
Well this year was, erm, fun? Television wise anyway. We started of with Professor Magwitch doing a turn as an annoying woman banging on about her lost child after billions of people died in Survivors. The show also starred him out of Hotel Babylon, Martha Jones and her who was [...]

Well what did I expect? Did I think that it would end in a lovely and fluffy way like Doctor Who often does? No, of course I didn’t. But I didn’t expect to be so bloody angry at it. It stands to reason that after episode four, the most powerful, captivating and heart-breaking hour of [...]

Tonight is the most exciting telly night in weeks (and I’m going to be out, so none of you better text me with spoilers) as we reach the end of two of our favourite series, Torchwood: Children of Earth and Celebrity Masterchef. We’ve written much about the Torchwood this week already, so let’s focus [...]

Amazing. Brilliant. Terrifying. Heart-breaking. Fabulous. Devastating. All words that could describe episode four of Torchwood: Children of Earth.
I wasn’t planning on writing anything for this, but after watching it, how could I not? It’s the best piece of television drama that the BBC, and indeed any network, has ever aired.

Torchwood: Children of Earth is part of a week where TV finally gets better after being in the doldrums for a bit. [...]

Today marks one of the most signigficant scientific experiments of our lifetimes, when a bunch of scientists in Switzerland attempt to recreate the Big Bang in a miniature form. That’s all well and good, but if it goes to plan, won’t that create a whole new universe, or destroy the one we’ve got? [...]

Toshiko Sato. Born: 1975. Died: April 2008.
Toshiko Sato will be fondly remembered by all lowculture viewers for her tireless heroics in the thankless task of working for Torchwood. A computer genius and technical wizz, Toshiko was recruited to Torchwood Three, Cardiff, in 2003, to avoid being detained any longer in prison. She went on [...]

DANGER! Torchwood, BBC Two, 9.00pm
We are sad to see that this is the last episode in what has largely been a rip-roaring, emotional, tense, funny, Cardiff-centric series of Torchwood (although we couldn’t be happier with the timing that means this ends and Doctor Who begins). As much as anything, this series has been a lot [...]

I see a little silhouetto of a muppet.
Oh dear, what are you on about now? Join the discussion here.
I saw them perform it "live" on GMTV this morning and I nearly spluttered out my tea.
