Gotta be my favourite Torchwood quote.

[nerds-yearbook]

Decades after he had left it, Jack Harkness slipped through time and found himself once more back in 1941 where he encountered the REAL Captain Jack Harkness whose identity “Jack Harkness” had stolen after the real Jack Harkness’ death in World War 2. ("Captain Jack Harkness", Torchwood, TV)

Des heroischen und beharrlichen Leutnant James Gray Suche nach der im Amzonasgebiet verlorenen Stadt Z erweist sich als extrem anstrengend, nervenaufreibend und langwierig (und zwischendurch müssen sie auch noch in die Schützengräben nach Flandern), sowie letztlich -Achtung! Spielverderber-Alarm!- als erfolglos. Vielleicht aber auch nicht, es darf spekuliert werden, sie haben offensichtlich ihre Water Music auch gelesen und ihren Fitzcarraldo gesehen. Irgendwie fühlt man sich ein bisschen um den Abenteuerfilm betrogen, in dem sie die Stadt finden, obwohl außer dieser alle nötigen Zutaten aufgefahren werden. Das ist aber natürlich, weil alles genau so passiert ist. Zweimal taucht ganz kurz der greise Murray Melvin auf.

Just discovered that Murray Melvin, who played Bilis in Torchwood, died yesterday. Hadn’t been expecting such sad news today, absolutely gutted. A fantastic actor, Bilis was one of my favourite TW villains.

I’ve only drawn Bilis once, as part of the Inktober project I did in 2021 drawing a different Torchwood character every day but I think I’m going to do what my lovely partner suggested and go draw some more Bilis sketches rn 🖤

From Fantasy to Comedy and Heart-Tugging Dogs: Revisiting Torchwood's 2023 Range from Big Finish

From Fantasy to Comedy and Heart-Tugging Dogs: Revisiting #Torchwood's 2023 Range from @bigfinish

The strength of Big Finish’s monthly Torchwood range means it could easily reach 150 releases. The 78th story in the range was only released last December, and we didn’t even get a full year of releases in 2023, but they were creative and entertaining and sometimes heart-tugging enough to want even more from the authors and actors in 2024. The release of Torchwood Series 7, a Big Finish…
