Torchwood TV Show

Not that Freema Agyeman borrowed the TARDIS to travel back in time and bring a journalist from 1980s, but she certainly paved the way for the same by being on the sets of her upcoming show, The Carrie Diaries.

The prequel to smash hit dramedy Sex and the City already made quite a series of headlines over the last few months. And now that the filming for the same is off the mark, actress Agyeman’s ‘yellow fever’ seems to pull in more attention.

She was spotted in a bright yellow coat teamed with blue parachute pant jumpsuit while shooting a scene for the new rendition of Sex and the City in Wall Street.

Playing a journalist is not all at easy, and Agyeman will be seen portraying one from ’80s. I am not sure how her character Larissa will fit in The Carrie Diaries.

The spin-off will chronicle the life of young Carrie, before she meets the rest of the three ladies in Sex and the City. Vivacious newcomer AnnaSophia Rob has been roped in for the role.

The recently ended filming also saw the teen actress along with Freema Agyeman.

Former Torchwood star’s look in the new show does clarify one point that there will more of exaggerated style statements so as to lend the spin-off yesteryear’s aura.

Agyeman has always been exceptional with her portrayal of different character be it in Torchwood or in its mother series Doctor Who. Nonetheless, this time, there is a bit of challenge in front of her. Her role will not only demand strong acts but it will also put her in straightjacket of being in the retro age.

Watch Torchwood Online in case you wish to revisit some of the phenomenal acts of the dusky babe in the shoes of Martha Jones.

Over the period of time, Agyeman has earned a massive fan base for herself. And I can pretty well figure it out that all her die-hard devotees are looking forward to the new avatar of a journalist. I am also in the league to witness the star storming Manhattan street in high heels and knee-length coat.

Occasions such as an anniversary call for jubilant celebration from every quarter, right?

If in case, there turns out to be someone who doesn’t want to be a part of the gung-ho affair, he or she can certainly be termed as an outcast.

Right?

Anyway, Eve Myles has declared, that she won’t be a part of the 50th anniversary of the sci-fi series, ‘Doctor Who’.

Not that she has something bitter against the show, but apparently this is a well-thought of and conscious decision.

It seems Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles) has had enough of the parent offerings and wants to focus more on the spin-off series.

But her reason for shrugging off ‘Doctor Who’ seems to be a genuine one.

All those who have ruffled through the Torchwood episodes would agree, that it has much darker shades, than its source of origin.

Steven Moffat, hailing from ‘Doctor Who’, has already assured his fans that the anniversary, due to fall on November 23rd, 2013 is going to be really big.

Amidst these ecstatic declarations, a proclamation such as this, and that too coming from Eve Myles, does send one into a tizzy.

As far as Ms. Myles is concerned, if she wants to concentrate on adult themes at the moment, I guess that liberty should be given to her.

She is not looking forward to the involvement of any sort in the anniversary celebrations or holding guns and bazookas for that matter.

However, what would be impact of that stern ‘No’ for the crossover?

That only time will tell!

All one can hope for at the moment, is that things certainly don’t backfire for this immensely talented actress.

A middle path should be sought, whereby the celebrations are not disrupted and the actress is able to stand true to her words.

Any ideas?

Wouldn’t you like to put the same question to singer actor, Barrowman, if given a chance to ask him something?

I’m sure that would be your first question, and so is mine!

Well, it’s been a long time since we’ve heard anything about him. Seems as if he is lost somewhere, or left out of tinsel town!

With certain dusky things in my mind, I went to the top spy of our website, and guess what! He told me something pretty interesting about the actor.

Well, the immaculately handsome, Y-fonts wearing, muscle-popping American is now busy doing preparations for his brand new UK tour.

Now if ask me what this tour is all about, let me remind you of some of the previous works of the singer-cum-actor, as it would be only after that, that you’ll understand the motive behind this tour launch.

Guys, do you remember the vivacious tracks of Another side, Music, Music, Music, and John Barrowman? Of course, I’m talking about John’s music albums!

Well, recently, the stage-and-screen star has launched a compilation of the three, under the name, The Best of John Barrowman.

And following the release of this album, John is set to promote it around the continent.

A good idea! We must say!

As per the info received, he will kick start the tour on Oct, 19, 2011 from Northampton, and will be concluding it at his hometown Glasgow on Nov, 24.

You can obviously hope for the dirty-talking singer to hit your town somewhere in between the trip.

So get ready to attend the live shows of John’s velvet-like voice that spellbinds one and all!

I’m also in the list John, so please visit my place too!

However, for now I’ll opt to watch Torchwood online, as I’ve been triggered by an urgency to download the vivacious aura that the charming actor exudes!

Time and again, the homosexual nature of the protagonist has been proclaimed, making it more than evident and apprising the viewers about the same.

While we’ve been driven by the frenzy to go for Torchwood download on a daily basis, we have seemed to enjoy the action and the exciting adventure that the successive installments facilitated.

Those, who watch the show regularly were in for a big shocker, as they saw the protagonist Jack Harkness (John Barrowman), landing in bed with his male partner.

All right, we suspected that, but is the audience ready to accept gay intimacy?

While the reaction of the audience is still to come, actor John Barrowman is in an extremely unapologetic mood!

He says that the viewers should be ready for this; he further says that since a warning has already been issued at the beginning of the batch, it becomes the sole responsibility of parents to keep a check on their kids!

The actor further went on to exclaiming about this brouhaha that is coming up about two men lying over each other, when the focus of the talk can be shifted to the man receiving four shots in the head!

Ah!

Quite a pertinent point Mr. Barrowman! What to do sir? You see, prurience attracts more eyeballs than genuine heresy!

That only makes me wonder as to whether this gay-sex thing would stop after this one act or not!

Not that I’m dying to see every bit of it, but you still need to gear up before being punk’d straight on your face!

The character of this sci-fi series, that we all love and adore (yes, I am talking about Torchwood) has proclaimed his non-heterosexual nature, right from the beginning.

Having said that, (as I wanted to begin by putting forth the premise), if I were to tell you that actor John Barrowman, is being stalked by a couple, comprising a boy and a girl, how would you react? Ok guys, I’m really sorry if this buzz did really make you more anxious than ever before, but before you plunge yourself into any sort of depression, let me clear the air for you!

Those who have become more or less habitual of going in for a Torchwood download, the good news for you is this that John Barrowman is not being stalked in reality; rather, this is what forms the crux of an upcoming musical event!

Now I’m sure that this is something you would definitely watch out for!

The music director of this wacky show, Patrick Steed, has just one explanation to offer - this is the outcome for that inexplicable obsession people have, for the ‘Captain Jack Harkness’ camp!

Titled ‘Stalking John Barrowman’, this comical offering showcases a couple, trying to keep a track of their favorite star, in an utterly hilarious manner!

While it is being publicized, that the show is imbued with that ‘Disney’ element throughout, you won’t believe that the girl has this song titled, ‘The Straight Side of John’, which is being dedicated from an ardent fan to the star.

Unfortunately, the star in question is not straight!

There is a twist even in the histrionics of the couple - the boy, Jamie, is a twenty-something gay and the girl, thirty-something Julie, is straight!

Yikes!

Before you die of laughing holding tightly on to your bellies, let me pass on the relevant information to you, regarding this show. While it has plans of making a foray into the Edinburgh Festival, it would be all set to make it to Cardiff next year!

Keep stalking and keep laughing - that is all I can say at the moment!

John Barrowman, popularly known as Captain Jack Harkness from the show Torchwood, has come out to comment that he is ‘no longer a party animal’…

John seems to be in the mood for clearing the air a little over what people conceive of his personality. He is not a nightclub enthusiast anymore as he used to be in his 20s. Hmm… I wonder what happened to the party animal we all knew John to be!

In a recent interview, he confessed that he’d prefer to lie down and relax in front of his TV screen than venture outside for a night out…sounds like maturity is dawning in on John! Or is it boredom?

John is the lead protagonist of the science fiction TV series, Torchwood. He plays the macho Captain Jack Harkness who time travels from the 51st century back into 21st century Britain. He joins hands with the Torchwood Institute set up by Queen Victoria that protects the country from evil supernatural creatures!

Other than his phenomenal screen presence, John has been in the news off and on due to his personal life. The Scottish-American actor is gay and is a legal civil partner of his boyfriend Scott Gill.

Scott and John can be spotted together on several occasions and events. However, in recent times, they avoid partying out too much. They prefer to spend their time together, relaxing at one of their two homes.

John explains that he does still enjoy a shot of vodka or two after a hard day at work. He believes in putting all his energy into his work, and not otherwise. Clubbing and dancing until the wee hours of the night is not his thing anymore. Or so he says!

Well, now that you are going to catch him hanging around in clubs less often, I suggest you grab Torchwood download. Entertainment is guaranteed as you watch him in the shoes of Captain Harkness, who saves the day against extra-terrestrials!

If you have been watching the latest Torchwood episodes, you will notice a striking similarity between the leading lady on the show, Gwen Cooper, and the actor, who plays her.

There is something, in fact a lot of things, common between Gwen Cooper and Eve Myles.

What I’m talking of is not just the fact that Eve shares her persona with her on-screen character, but the fact is that in her case, the similarity extends a tad too much.

Eve revealed her discomfort at the manner her life is being mirrored on Torchwood! The biggest similarity is that Eve’s family on Torchwood is exactly the same as her real-life family - mother, father, and child.

But that is just the beginning! It takes an uncanny turn, when you see how Gwen puts her relationship with husband Rhys, at stake for her work.

We’ve often seen Gwen going against her husband’s wishes, and even putting her little baby, Anwen, in distress, all for work’s sake.

When you look closely, you’ll notice that Eve has been doing pretty much the same thing in her real life.

She and her partner, Bradley Freegard, recently left their homeland, Wales, to move to the United States.Her little baby Matilda, and their dog, Honey, tagging along presented a very miserable, and an unflattering picture. .

The reason for the abrupt shift is obviously Torchwood. While we could be accused of making a mountain out of an anthill, the fact that she admits to the fact that her character’s storyline on the show mirrors her real life, seals the deal.

Eve brushed off the similarities as odd, but we can’t help wondering if the show’s writers are intentionally adding Eve’s real life details to her reel life.

Either way, it’s a yummy prospect for us, and we just can’t wait to get more of Torchwood!

The audience is certainly not oblivious of Jack Harkness’ sexual orientation, for that is something we were apprised of, when it hadn’t emerged as a spin-off from its parent series, Doctor Who!

He was indeed swinging both ways!

It was the Doctor, who had offered this explanation in the backdrop of the very species of Homo sapiens, fraught with various challenges at the hands of the aliens on several fronts.

And there are bound to be repercussions on the sexuality front, with such orientations evolving into more flexible overtures!

And if one has tuned in to Torchwood episodes, they would have surely witnessed the imminent love angle developing between Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) and his colleague Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles), a policewoman.

But it was only to be rebuffed, culminating with the growing fondness of Jack for the team General, Lanto Jones (Gareth David-Lloyd), with that romantic relationship between two men being well-received by the viewers.

How can I forget the way the fans cried hoarse against the untimely death of Lanto, for they wanted their favorite character to be revived in the show!

While we still seem to plunge into those moments of nostalgia hovering over first three seasons, here comes another audacious declaration from John Barrowman.

Well, Mr. Barrowman has tried to assert the contention rather affirmatively that while a lot many gay characters might have taken this clichéd route, as far as gelling with the American audience is concerned, John is glad that his character is not a stereotype in any way!

Oh really?

Hmm, now I can assimilate quite a lot when John had stated that Jack Harkness is actually an ‘omnisexual’! Yes, another bizaree word out there in your vocabulary, ‘omnisexual’ referring to the orientation with men, women, and aliens alike!

While the creator Russell T. Davies included those raunchy, simmering sex scenes to make it apparent that yes, the protagonist is gay, John it seems is determined to remove those cobwebs that this hero is gay but with a difference, mind it!

Coming straight from the aegis of the 51st century, he started off as a time traveler and a con man, who went on to be associated with the organization ‘Torchwood’, aiding in shielding the Earth from any imminent danger from alien elements.

Watch Torchwood online to witness the spin-off of Doctor Who series, which has its own share of contrasts as well, making it a delectable delight.

The man at the helm of affairs, Capt. Jack Harkness, portrayed by John Barrowman, has expressed his inherent desire regarding this sci-fi drama.

A lot of attention that the show garners owes its credit to John, who has done a resplendent act in portraying a soldier, who battles all odds to make sure that the planet inhabited by human beings is safe from anyone, who harbors fiendish motives.

Thus, we don’t mind embarking on the download path, for it gives our visage a glow of satisfaction! Coming back to the matter of discussion, Mr. Barrowman has expressed a wish that he would like to see the show as a film!

Wow!

How did he manage to listen to what our heart’s thumping heartbeats wanted to convey from so long!

With the ab-initio batch of the fourth season garnering a viewership of around 4.83 million people, I guess John’s ardent desire has come at a very opportune time.

The New World, the first installment of the current season that aired on July 8, 2011 dealt with a sinister element that kept men, even those inflicted with the deadliest of diseases, alive!

While it is yet to be seen what the ardent desire of John Barrowman would yield to, we have the show to our respite, though fingers would certainly be crossed for his wish!

Immortality is an idea which has gained popularity for a long time now. Everyone wants to live forever by challenging the laws of nature.

But what would happen if the miracle affects the whole world, leaving the coffins empty and burial grounds deserted?

Well, it may seem like an idea which is far from the truth, but this is something which will come true in the approaching season of the cult series, Torchwood.

Yes, the thrilling series is coming back to grab eyeballs!

The alarms are set to go off on July 8 when the first episode of the series will go on air!

The theme of the upcoming season has caught the fancy of the audience. The concept of immortality has clicked with the masses, and there is a loud buzz in the web jungle about what’s going to unfold in the series.

As the inhabitants of the Earth will refuse to die, the alarms will be raised, as this means more mouths to feed while the resources remain the same.
The show has shifted base and most of the shoots have been done in Los Angeles, California, and Wales.

Talking about the future of Torchwood team, it would become just a name. Keeping the past season in mind, the story moulds itself and will pick pace from where it left. Two CIA men will step into the mystic world of Torchwood.

The new season will pave way for the new entrants into the Torchwood scene. As the season will have 10 episodes, it offers a lot of space for the story to take interesting turns.

I am sure the show will live up to the expectations once again and will emerge as a clear rating stealer.
Well, let’s see what Torchwood episodes bring to the table!
