See? Torchwood just gets far more into the actual mechanics of human (or human-alien) interaction, whereas Doctor Who seems to be content to leave it as a more abstract concept. A much more manageable perspective for the younger set, really.

Kyle told me that Jonny wasn't allowed to watch Torchwood, it was perhaps a bit too adult, I thought, it's Welsh BBC, how much more adult can it be than Doctor Who? Eryn can watch that. Well, in the second episode where there's a big sex scene and the thrusting man engaged in random bathroom sex dissolves into a golden shower/pearl necklace of energy all over the orgasming lady-possessed-by-an-alien...I'm pretty sure at a minimum, that's where it gets too adult. I'm glad I was previewing it on my bicycle rather than with her in the frontroom. On a learning note, I had NO idea Cardiff was as big as it was until I saw pictures in Torchwood of the city from above. Wikipedia puts the greater Cardiff area at 1.1 million people. Damn sizeable (althrough apparently only 1/3 the size of Minneapolis-St. Paul, but we have the advantage of two cities and two sets of burbs...but no aliens angling for golden showers).
