Torchwood: about Toshiko Sato...

[fajrdrako]

There's an article on the Torchwood TV blogspot containing an interview with Naoko Mori about Tosh. It contains comments about things happening in the seventh episode of Torchwood - not so much spoilers as hints and teasers.

There's some very interesting information about Tosh's life and her background. Apparently we'll see more about her private life 'later on' - i.e., after the seventh episode. They're making us Tosh fans wait.

I was particularly amused by this comment from Naoko:

"I didn't know too much about Doctor Who. I grew up in the States, so I'd never seen it as a kid," she says. "When I got the script, I phoned my agent and said, 'What's a TARDIS? I've looked it up in the dictionary and I can't find it'. He was laughing so hard he actually put the phone down on me."

The interview has a minor disappointment for me, in that there is no mention of Tosh's sexual orientation, and only a hint that she might fancy Owen - I have so been hoping that she might prefer Gwen.

You win. Tell me what channel and what day is Torchwood on. Is it on tv in Canada or the US? I'll give it a shot if only to satisfy the curiosity you have engendered.

Hee - has my enthusiasm piqued your curiosity? My only-mildly-obsessive ramblings about the tall, dark and handsome alien-catcher? Or was it the speculations about the pterodactyl?

Alas, neither. It is only being shown in the UK so far. And just to keep a certain imbalance going (or adding insult to injury maybe), they're showing each episode about 6 times a week over there. It is a CBC co-production, so you'd think they'd be showing it here, but no, the CBC is waiting till after Season 2 Doctor Who because they don't want spoilers or continuity problems. "Faugh!" say I, but they aren't listening to me. Well, I sent them a letter yesterday. We shall see if they answer me, and I'll keep you posted if I here anything about it being on the schedule. Not too long, I hope.
