True. And I have strong feelings about it too, but that didn't warrant me giving it a 10 or a 1. Just a 7, which was fair in my book, regardless of my strong feelings. Just saying is all.

I know. But giving something a 10 shows that you haven't really thought it through very much. The ratings should be kept relative to the show itself. Just because Doctor Who, for example, might be better than 90% of other television, doesn't mean it should always get a 9 or 10. If that episode was great but not utterly fantastically brilliant, give it an 8 or a 9. Be fair.

And bear in mind that the producers probably have some uber episodes coming up closer to the end of the series.

He just kept talking in one long incredibly unbroken sentence moving from topic to topic so that no one had a chance to interrupt him it was really quite hypnotic.

Well having viewed Torchwood, I can safely say that, come this sunday, 10pm, in my living room, on the sofa, with a nice drink of pepsi and some hobnobs beside me(), I will not be watching torchwood,I will be halfway through the new episode of Frost. Oh joy

yep, I understood it, I liked it. I liked it enough to watch it again.
Before watching it, I forgot another option I had, to tape Torchwood downstairs and watch Frost in my mums room which also has freeview. She was out at the time so I was free to do it...I missed the first 5-10 minutes but there was 2 hours worth there so I caught up with it (well, including brakes).

haha, I think it might be a bit too soon for that...but that doesn't stop me watching it over Christmas...besides, I'm after an acoustic guitar, I've been wanting one for ages, and seeing as I play electric, it should be easy to play. But seriously, I'll probably watch Frost over Christmas (if it doesn't air at the same time as Doctor Who that is)

If you play with a plectrum (I'm guessing you do - not many people use their fingers) make sure you get a steel-stringed acoustic.

That said, it would be good to practise playing with your fingers anyway. Then you alternate between the two. Your playing will improve too.

I do like the thought that a Sunday night drama might be hard to understand. It's never happened to me.

I may alternate, it's harder to alternate on electric because of the strings.
