On a related note - I've been watching Torchwood lately, just because of Dr. Who. It's so-so ... definitely not as good as the Doctor.

It never quite managed to get to the Doctor Who levels, IMO. But then Doctor Who has high standards to compete with.

There were some good bits and episodes in Torchwood but it was so-so mostly and even rather poor in other places too. The characters annoyed me to no end as well, especially during the first season, it eased a bit during the second one, but not that much.

The Sarah Jane Adventures is the better spin-off series if you ask me.

The few Sarah Jane episodes I have seen were not bad. It is possible they could get better, but they have not been on the tele here in the states in a while.

I never cared much for torchwood in DW, so I was not going to watch a series based on torchwood.

There are three seasons now, starting on the fourth. It's a kid's series, obviously, but it's a series I know I would have loved when younger.

The first two seasons were entertaining, at best, and obnoxious at worst. The third season actually gets to be Genuinely Good, though; so much so that I wanted it to end there, and was disappointed when I learned there was going to be a fourth.
