Torchwood: the upcoming villain...

[fajrdrako]

Despite my avoidance of spoilers, I watched this bit of film from Cheltenham in which Russell T Davies and John Barrowman talked about the upcoming villains on Torchwood (ooh, sounds good!) and about Doctor Who - which Doctor is best, and what his name is. Enjoyed it mightily.

Keith and Colin. Yes. Well. Has a ring to it.

You're most welcome!

Brilliant interview -- I wouldn't have seen it if you hadn't linked to it. My husband and I roared over the names. Yeah, "Save me, Keith!"

Those two do such good interview. :)

I loved that. I also loved "Keith Who".

Those two do such good interview. :)

They do. They're each great in interviews individually, but together they can play off against each other perfectly. Davies is witty and has so many ideas; Barrowman is glib and expressive; they're a perfect duo. I hope we see more of this.

I also like it that Barrowman is keeping himself associated with, even identified with, Doctor Who. He has so many other shows going on (including Torchwood, where he's the lead) and live shows and music and so on, but he doesn't let his role in Doctor Who be forgotten. This bodes well. It's in his best interests, of course, since Doctor Who is so popular in the UK.

Enjoyed it mightily.

Me too.

I particularly liked the discussion about naming villains and what names are suitable for the impression you want to make.

Yes, what fun. I look forward to the numbered villains, and Davies is quite right, the name of a villain has a lot to do with the impression the villain makes. Many Torchwood villains don't have names. Many have assumed named - Mary, Beth, Adam. "Sleepers" is a particularly good one, I think.
