AfterElton alerted me to this fantastic spoof.

Torchwood Totty - Gareth David Lloyd



Thought I'd post this one of the actor behind Ianto sans suit which we've only seen once in the entire run of "Torchwood" to date ("Countrycide" to be exact). He must be the TV hero of the MenAtPlay crowd!

Looks vaguely goth-y in this shot by SFX magazine, but still very do-able.

And I found this too ...

Sunshine Cat



This is Willow the house cat making the most of Saturday afternoon's sunshine in the lounge.

Unfortunately it was as I reached for the camera to take this shot that I discovered a major fault on it. Basically the viewfinder is gone, looking like it's glass is cracked (but isn't, at least externally). Ironically I think this is one of the best shots I've taken with it - obviously the camera itself still works and has lots of autofocus and auto-exposure things going on. However I will be pursuing a repair or replacement from either Argos or Kodak as I don't think things like this should happen after 3 weeks careful use.

Extra Torchwood


And that's ESPECIALLY for viewers in Scotland!

I noted from the new "Radio Times" yesterday that BBC Two Scotland have relented on showing both the kiddie-friendly edit of "Torchwood" and the ONLY showing of "Torchwood De-Classified" which is networked in England and Wales on Thurdays at 7pm. As from episode 4 ("Meat") it will go out on TUESDAY at 7pm instead, avoiding the sacred Gaelic Zone (ironically this is ditched for a football match next week!).

Sorry I don't know if this situation is matched in Northern Ireland which also has a localised Thursday evening schedule.

However I managed to miss the fact that from next Wednesday (13th) BBC Three will be premiering the 'next week' episode, as they did with "Heroes" last year. This is especially apt for Martha Jones fans as her first of three "Torchwood" episodes ("Reset") will be on at 9.50pm that night, following episode five ("Adam") on BBC Two.

Only drawback here is that this will skim off some of BBC Two's ratings, as happened in series one.

7 FEBRUARY UPDATE: SFX are now reporting this BBC Three premiere is to be a one-off, presumably to draw people into the revamp happening on the channel from next week.

The new camera



Well not actually my camera as it can't quite take a picture of itself yet. I finally managed to get together enough cash and confidence in my choice last Thursday evening and picked this up in the Craigleith branch of Argos during a very gusty shower. The photo tells you a fair bit about the spec.

I've went from a 3 megapixel model (impressed me back in 2003) to a whopping 12 megapixel model now. However I've set it to take pics at 6MP (its lowest setting) as I think that's fair enough for my purposes.It also doesn't clog up the storage so much. It was only giving me room for 25 or so shots with the inbuilt 64MB ! I wisely spurned the Argos offer of a 1GB SD card for 'only' £17.99 - instead I picked up a Tesco own-brand SD card for under a tenner - and it's a 2GB one! Now I have room for over 1000 photos. However it also takes HD video - so I think a big storage capacity is essential for that.

Unfortunately, as on the day of purchase, the weather when I'm not in work has been pretty filthy and not very photogenic. Hopefully I'll be able to get some new landscape shots done this coming weekend.I'm thinking of a trip out somewhere like Linlithgow, St Andrews or the Borders. Looking especially for carpets of snowdrops.

Kate Rusby - The Village Green Preservation Society



This seems to have been released as a single (it's a bonus track on her current album), following its use as the theme tune to sitcom "Jam and Jerusalem". Can't find a proper video on YouTube though. It's a cover of a well-loved Kinks song from 1968.

Radio Times Covers Party




Call me a sad anorak but this is always a do I'd love to get invited to, Essentially anyone who's been on the RT cover in the last calendar year gets an invite. Here's four of the liggers. Unfortunately the one of Freema Agyeman with the (currently injured) Sean Lamont isn't online so I may have to scan it from the magazine.
