Torchwood: Children of Earth

I'm not sure if any of you watched Torchwood last week on BBC 1 and BBC HD, but just WOW! I can't believe how good this was, perhaps one of the best written pieces of Sci-Fi on British TV for years. Season 1 and 2 of Torchwood were merely ok, formulaic, with the usual monster of the week for Captain Jack and his crew to battle with! Season 3 and Children of Earth though has shown how it should be done and with good viewing figures, hopefully there will be more to come! Grab the DVD or Blu-Ray when it comes out if you've not seen it, you won't regret it!
