Seeing the Doctor...

So I went to my doctor this morning. Normal necessary check-up stuff. Got a flu shot, and a minor lecture on how I should have got it earlier. She thought my blood pressure was fine at 132/90, which sounded high to me, as it was 120/78 last time. Got another lecture on my weight, and she urged me to walk more, as I've lapsed with the bad weather. (But I'd walked to her office today!) I promised to start walking again. Thought guiltily about the treadmill in our building that I'm not using.

Torchwood: the preview of series 2...

kikibug13 sent me this link to the preview for Torchwood series 2. I would assume from what we see that it's the first few minutes of episode one?
( Cut for spoilers... )

P.S. The YouTube link is here.

Torchwood: Jack is so friendly...

From The Sun. Spoiler for series 2, if you're the careful type. I usually am, but anticipation has driven me mad.

( It's not as... )

And cyberducks found an even better picture. Ooh.

Torchwood: en francais...

I have fannish success to report. I subscribed to zTélé, a Québecois TV station that is showing Torchwood in French, and this evening I taped it, and watched part of it. It was the first episode, "Tout Change".

It's a thrill.

The voices aren't bad. I quite like Gwen's. My first impression is that the voice does sound rather like Gwen's voice, though without a Welsh accent. That is... if there's a Welsh accent, my French isn't quite good enough to detect it, or to understand how a Welsh accent would sound in French.

The difficult voice is Jack's, of course, because not many people have a voice as beautiful as John Barrowman's. But though he doesn't have the voice, this actor does have the intonation dight, and it works very well.

Made a good first impression, anyway.

Bring on the ptérosaurien.
