When will your episode of SHERLOCK air?

Hello brilliant writer,

I have become a huge fan of Doctor Who and Torchwood and i am begging you, please please consider a doctor who movie or special for Rose and the 10th Doctor, we need a closing for them. I know the one we seen let us have some peace, but i can't shake the feeling knowing that there is still something missing. Please please, if you and Steven Moffat could do something like this, i would be so happy and i know many other fans would be also.

Thank you for being a wonderful writer!!!!

I think you should try to recreat the missing episodes of doctor who by finding actors that look like the original ones. I think Marc Warren who played Elton Pope on Doctor Who's Love and Monsters would be a good look a like for the character of Ben Jackson and there are a lot of Polly look alikes out there and I have herd of one actor that looks a lot like Patrick troughton.

Dear Mr. Davies,

I just wanted to say a huge thankyou for what you have done with bringing DR. Who back and introducing us to Torchwood. I have just finished watching Torchwood (The Miracle) as it was my Xmas box and I just loved it!!!!!!!! I have a tremendous appreciation for your work and insight, we so miss you over here in the UK. Can you tell me if you plan on doing another series of Torchwood? I have been a fan from the beginning and I feel your talents must be shared with all. Please, please say you are doing more!???????

Thankyou fro all you have done xx

Well???

First would just like to say I love Doctor Who, Torchwood, and The Sarah Jane Adventures. I am also looking forward to the 'rumored' Doctor Who movies. Now to my point: I don't know what plans there are, if any, for future episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures. Elisabethh Sladen might be hard to replace; but if something may be in the works, you might want to consider Marlo Thomas as the replacement. Follow this link and tell me what you think: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2496436480/nm0005486

PLEASE COME BACK AND WRITE DOCTOR WHO!!!!!!

Series 1 and 2 were by far the best. From there is seemed to go downhill. Series 3 was okay, but series 4, in my opinion was quite bad. It was like a completely different program and the whole essence which made torchwood great has now gone.

Please, return to the uk, get a great new cast to replace the beloved Owen, Ianto and Tosh, and make a brilliant series 5. Series 1 and 2 just blew me a way.

We want owen back! Perhaps he soul is still trapped somewhere.. wandering around cardiff.. Bring him back! D:

Just read the interview in re: your partner's health concerns. Warmest wishes he'll make a full and speedy recovery.

You know, today is something like the 4th anniversary since I first watched the Second Coming. Man you Russell pack a whallop and then some! I asked God about you. God directed me to that story of the return of the son in the gospel of Luke. I think it's about the only scene in the Bible pictures two men racing toward each other across a field, falling into each other's arms, showering each other with lots of tears and hugs and kisses. xoxoxoxoxo ;-)

I heard about you and your partner's recent life's challenge, and wanted you to know your fans support both of you, and are sending positive thoughts for Mister Smith's recovery.

Russell & Andrew,
Just heard the news through a link John Barrowman's sister Carole posted on twitter.

Enjoy every moment of everyday and don't forget to tell those you love that you love them. Sometimes we forget to say it. Even when our actions prove it.

The road ahead might not be easy, but you have friends in what seems the least likely of places. Our thoughts and prayers are with you both!

Angela

As someone WHO has had untold hours of joy and pleasure added to my life from your work, I wish that I could give it back to you and your loved ones many times over. We will miss you while you are out of the merriment making business Mr. Davies. I hope the good and joy you've added to the world is returned in good fortune to you and your family.

Blessings upon you.

Hi Mr. Davies, a fan from Turkey. You are a classy man and your partner is so lucky to have you. I wish him a speedy recovery....

Greetings from Istanbul :-)

If what I've just read on the Western Mail web site is true. Please accept my kindest thoughts. You have given us a lot in the recent years and I hope to received more in the future. However in the meantime best wishes to you and Mr Smith. From another Olchfa boy.

Russell, I was so very sorry to hear about Andrew's ill health. Sending best wishes and praying for a good outcome. Look after each other.x

Just read about Andrew by Lawrence Watts. I hope everything turns out all right: a big "in bocca al lupo" from Italy.

I just wanted to thank you. A few years ago I was dying of full blown A.I.D.S. and living through a nightmare. Your Doctor Who and Torchwood gave me somewhere amazing to escape to while I laid there in a body that didn't work.
You gave me somewhere to go, something extra and it so helped me. Your storytelling gave me hope. And that hope was what I needed to make a full recovery and start living a brand new life. My own regeneration if you will. I wanted to let you really touched someone's life and I will always be grateful. Thank you.

I am no writer idea guy at best. So i had a diea for a Dr who movie for you,. england bubonic plaque, heard of stories of men in black in fields spraying stuff on the crops days later everyone in town dies. (acient aliens show history channel) Use it as the theme of the movie. Facts it lasted for years and adventually it just ended. All kinds of things could happen obvisouly.

But i imagine him surcomming to the poison dying off and somehow coming out of a coma type state years late sending the aliens fleeing.

Then again could be a worthless amount of garble someone is forced to read lol..

Hello where can i ask for permission to use screenshots or photos of the doctor and rose tyler? I am making a poster for my grade 12 comm tech project and I am creating a poster about Doomsday and i need permission to use photos of the doctor and rose. My project won't be used for anything but a mark in my class thanking you for taking your time to read this.

Emma

Please, we miss Queer As Folk US version. We want more QAF. Those guys saved our lives. Bring them to us! Love you!

I know this probably wont get read but I really hope it does :)
I just wanted to thank you for all your amazing dw/torchwood work - You say so much about our world in stories of so many others. :)
Thanks again,
A completely unimportant but admiring 15 year old fan

Please view and comment, much appreciated

Will there be no Torchwood 5 because that's what should happen in real life?

only just seen the wrap party vids on you tube what a fantasic tribute well donr david john and catherine hope you enjoyed them as much as I did any news on torchwood 5???

Since CBS cancelled all my shows I became hooked on Torchwood and Doctor Who and I hope and pray both shows will be back. I rented all the DVD's from Blockbuster on Doctor Who, Sara Jane Adventures (I'm sorry she passed away) and Torchwood and then started watching Torchwood on STRZ. Please bring the next series back.

If Mr. Davies reads these, I'd like to ask him to make an official statement on the negative ratings/reviews Miracle Day has received.

Hi there Russell , no doubt that I'm one of many fans who enjoy both Doctor Who and Torchwood and ever since you brought back the Time Lord to our screens plus made the "Whoniverse" bigger and better I have never stopped watching. I have also enjoyed also the recent series of Torchwood: Miracle Day which had some what a new flavor and extra spice. So all that said I would love to see series Five of Torchwood and I know you are very busy at the moment so hopefuly looking foward to the next season ..... can't wait.

Hello! I would like to think I am British TV Scriptwriter in the making and I have just finished my fifth script, which I am about to send out and enter into a competition. I would just like to say that you and Paul Abbott are my biggest inspirations and at times in the past when I have thought 'I'll never be good enough' or I consider giving up, I have always read/watched your work.

Thank you for being someone I can look up to!

Please say there will be a season 5 of Torchwood???????

Mr. Davis: I love your Doctor Who and Torchwood. They are the ultimate in science fiction from the X Files. I think to preserve the essence and quality, must return to UK, to continue the British theme, return to the BBC, and rescue the best of the first and second season of Torchwood. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

RTD
I am Torchwood fan. not really a Dr. Who Cares! Exeption to bigger than life J.B.
Brilliant story for Miracle Day. Thoughtful provocation of issues,complex dynamics of actors and dialogue. Now you make me a fan and leave me hanging. Cheeky and clever. I can honestly say that the reason I do not subscribe to Starz and get my Torchwood fix via Netflix and my other media obsession IFC is because, Starz never follows or upstages its popular creations. I will follow you RTD because you are brillante and I to see where you take all of us.
Best Wishes
LDA

Always been a big fan, please, please come back to Dr Who, i hoped the first series of the Moffat era was just teething probs, but alas no, think without you back at the helm can see cancellation coming :((((((

The link Ive added here is a pod cast of two huge Doctor Who fans, comparing the Classic series to the New,Both fans have a huge passion for Doctor Who,and both hope the series does not die out as it seems to be a number of DoctorWho fans fear. thankyou for taking the time to view this link.

After walking past you this morning in Manchester I regreted not saying hello and shaking your hand. I really enjoy your work.

Hello, I'm a beginning writer who absoluetly idolizes you and the rest of the Doctor Who team. I read "The Writer's Tale The Final Chapter" and absolutely fell in love wtih it. Do you have any advice on writing for us beginners? I would be sooooo stoked if you actually responded to this! Just know that you were the best writer Doctor Who ever had. Maybe if you came back, the Doctor wouldn't be so oncoming stormy all the time, and he might even be in character once and a while... Anyway, this message is from your forever fan, Ellena Tyler.

The world is a mess, and Torchwood is a very good and proper diversion. Please Russel help all of the present and new torchwood fans!

for the next reincarnation of the Doctor in dr who could you please make it a woman and if u could i think heather peace would meake a great doctor she is fab please have a think about it your forever great fan

Russell we need you back on Dr Who, NOW!!! Moffatt is destroying your beloved show :(
Please, Please Please!!! come back.

Please write more torchwood and please may I borrow Eve Myles for a new project i.e. if you like my screenplay. Would you like to read it? Go on you know you want to!

Please come back to Doctor Who!
At least when you were Head Writer there wasn't a snog and innuendo EVERY TEN SECONDS!

Though many would say I am biased .. I am not.
Love it, loved it, loved it.
The addition of Rex adds an interesting scope.
More please.

Your eternal fan base.

Hello Mr. Davies,

Just wanted to tell you how much I love Torchwood, please continue with the show, I understand that many fans were not to happy that the show came to the USA, but sometimes you need a change of place. Thank You, from New York

Carolyn: The Doctor has never been in Torchwood.

i need some help my 13year old daughter is a doctor who brain, and me and her have had an argument with her dad for the last week about doctor who, you see he says that doctor who was in torchwood but both she and i have said he hasnt, we know he has been mentioned and his hand is there the tardis has been hear'ed in torchwood but we have never seen him in the show could you settle this argument plz, has doctor who ever been in a episode of torchwood?

Mr Davis - I am so pleased that you are no longer involved with Doctor Who - you almost destroyed it. The depths you have sunk to with torchwood are apauling. Do us all a favour and retire - you SUCK!

You cannot leave the Torchwood saga unfinished. With Rex now immortal (or is he really), there is still too much story to tell. Please give us another tale, and if you could, find a trusted writer how could continue the adventure. Torchwood has been a breath of fresh air to what is becomming a stagnant scifi genre. Children Of Earth was a milestone and I know you have at least one more in you.

Russell, Congratulations on a tremendous piece of television. As Mr. Barrowman would put it FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC. Absolutely brilliant, the whole thing from storyline, casting, acting, moving the plot from country to country. Am so sad it has ended!
And how soon can you bring Torchwood back again?
My late husband Glyn was in Dr. Who with Tom Baker, and it sure was nothing like this.
I say again, a tremendous piece of television, thank you so much. Carrie

Totally loved Torchwood Miracle Day. Please keep the series alive. We desperately need terrifc TV shows ike Torchwood.

Thanks again for yet another fantastic show!!! I do hope that we will see some future productions of Torchwood! Torchwood am byth!!

What has happened with this latest series of Torchwood, it's awful!

It appears that teaming up with our 'friends' on the other side of the pond has resulted in the dumming down of what was a great British show.

The story was good, however it was executed with poor direction, writing and acting.
Very disappointing, predictable and boring. Take note of the ratings for this show that have been in free fall.

No more please.

Well done! What a great 10 weeks of Torchwood this has been, Brilliant writing, Excellent acting, a very well produced drama. We have followed the series as a family, young and old, oh, by the way, not one of the three familes, we are definitely on Jack's side. More next year please Russell, and some more Dr Who? Thanks to everyone for all their hardwork. Colin and Family.

When is the NEW SHOWTIME series suppose to air? Really excited, and; well after Torchwood Seasons 1-5, and Queer As Folk.... I really can't wait! A update on the page concerning this matter, who be great. Russel, I think your doing more than an amazing , Keep it up....

Your biggest fan,
Blake J. Kirton

Be Bless!

wooow i throught torchwood was amazing i was woundering if there was going to be another series?? i carnt begin to think what you can do with the story but im sure it will be amazing like allways :-)

Dear Russel,
Thank you so much for Torchwood! It was a brilliant story, and quite a ride, too. Everything grew bigger and better, even the music (loved the music!)! Fingers crossed for next season: we know you may quit doing Torchwood anytime, but for us, Torchwood junkies, it'd be quite hard to follow that example. Thank you, and wishing you the best!
Lee

Miracle Day was my first full season of Torchwood and I admit I'm hooked. I will bewatching the season 1 episodes on BBCA and the rest with a friend on DVDs.
I rally hope that there will be another season, something so brilliant and intriguing can't stop!!!

Russell,

Please, please, please - more Torchwood. I've loved it since season 1 and Miracle Day was no exception. I hope you continue your association with Starz and we Torchwood fans don't have to wait too long for more Capt. Jack, Gwen, Rhys, and whatever and whomever you come up with in future seasons.

Now that Miracle Day is over, I'm already missing Torchwood.

BTW, though I still like Doctor Who, and I think Matt Smith is a very good Doctor, I enjoyed your seasons/series of Doctor Who more than the episodes since you left.

jp.

Thank you, RTD.....it has been a great 10 weeks of television.
Torchwood MD was wonderful and exciting. The characters
were interesting, not alway likeable but that is real life.
The storyline provided a chance for reflection on human nature.
Please consider another season for Torchwood.

RUSSELL WE NEED YOU!!

PLEASE come back to Dr. Who, I can't take Moffat's writing any longer, it's not the same without you.

Russell,

Firstly I would like to thank you for your work on Dr Who, your Dr Who final was some of the best Telly I have ever seen, I have loved Torchwood up to and including the last series and was so happy and excited to hear Torchwood was coming back

However this last series - what happened ? All the qualities that made Torchwood great - the character building, relationships between the characters the clever scripts - all missing.

I can only excuse this poor work by assuming it was pressure to americanize the show and stretch a story which should have been 5 hours of telly tops over 10 hours.

I will watch Torchwood again - only if you write it - because you are a quality writer who needs to put things right. Please Russell - show everyone how much better you are than the last bloody awful series of Torchwood.

Thank you

Andrew

HI , I just loved Miracle Day. It kept me on the edge of my seat. My favorite character is and always has been is Captain Jack. So cheeky, which I love!! I love Dr. Who with David Tennant--he is fanastic as the Dr. I also loved Martha Jones too. I watch it on BBC America. And now they are showing Torchwood from Season 1 where it all began. I cant wait!!! Russell T Davies is the best writer on TV.

I am probably wasting my time writing this. However, I was looking forward to Torchwood - Miracle Day. Thought it was an interesting idea and I for one was not bothered about it being Americanised as some people have put it.
Been watching it all the way through and at the end, all I was thinking was, is that it?
I have gone through nine episodes, I finally get to the final one and to be honest, it was a massive let down.
That was not the Torchwood I remember and enjoyed watching. Captain Jack in many of the episodes was totally out of character. If I didn't know better, I would have thought he had of regenerated at the end of series three, because, he may have looked like Jack, but all he was doing was going through the motions.
Seems as if you were doing the same Russell.
Huge disapointment and if by some miracle it did come back, no pun intended, I don't know if I shall bother watching again.
A shame really because Torchwood and Doctor Who were great not so long ago, but your successor has ruined Doctor Who and now you have done the same with Torchwood.
To be honest, I could write a better storyline than that and so could most people.
If you do read these messages you ought to take note as it's obvious I am not the only one who felt let down. As a side note, let Moffet know a lot of fans don't like his take on a once great series either.

I have to say, despite the mixed audiences and some of the more lets say small minded people out there who are winging about 'too much gay' and too 'americanised', I love Torchwood: Miracle Day. It's what Torchwood has always been exciting, sexy but always with a heart deep down in it. This series is just another step in the direction it was always heading in, which is towards epic series arcs and it really works. love Torchwood and I will always love Russell's writing, I really hope there will be another series.

First let me say to those complaining about TW: MD's gay factor.... did you watch the original series at all?!? One of the great things about TW is the way it treats relationships equally. You didn't see Jack and any of his boytoys doing ANYTHING on this or the previous series that is not done between heterosexual couples on tv in EVERY timeslot. (And is is said by a hetero with absolutely no 'gay agenda' beyond wanting people to be happy.)

Now...as for the show. I loved it! One of the best things I have seen on TV in too long to recount. It was sharp, original, dramatic, made you feel uncomfortable and confused and the few Doctor references left me bouncing in my chair.

After watching everything Davies has done for Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Sarah Jane...I can honestly say that the man makes me SO proud to have Welsh heritage. (As does kick a$$ Gwen/Eve Myles and charming Rhys/Kai Owen. :) )

I know that Starz has said that TW's renewal depends solely on Davies' ideas and commitment to a future season...so I want to say a silent prayer that he sees this....

PLEASE DO ANOTHER SEASON OF TORCHWOOD ON STARZ, PLEASE!

Steven Moffat is a great writer, too, but I don't find Who quite as thrilling since Davies left, so another season of Torchwood was a dream come true.

PLEASE DOE ANOTHER ONE. I'm dying to see Rex and Capt. Jack in future seasons. :D

Hello, i am Boris from Bulgaria.When i was little i love to watch scifi and fantasy movies , read scifi and fantasy books as well , but you are the greatest author of the universe and please continue to write more stuff and make more movies or seasons of the series. Moffat not doing so well trying,but he is not you.Just go on and never surrender

Dear Russell,

I loved Torchwood Miracle Day. Please do another season for Starz, soon. I think Ester should still live. The end could of left it open. She was still being worked on and alive. She needed to die. Maybe she also took Jacks blood, or they faked her death.

You are such a talented writer and I would love to keep watching this show. I have been watching from the beginging. Doctor Who, when Jack first appered then to the seares Torchwood now to Torchwood on Starz. Please keep it going.

Bring them all back for another seasion.

A Big Fan

Russell thank you for ep 7 I loved it. Overall I have enjoyed MD greatly. I cannot believe the rubbish that some people have written both on here and elsewhere. I am truely shocked. I hope TW returns. I love Jack and Esther together and how about getting John De Lancie in as head of TW sort of working with Jack. Now that would be fun. All the macho chest beating. Long live the gay agenda and Captain Jack Harkness.

Can't wait till tomorrow! X"D And still it's about the blood. Yeah, thats fantastic!

greetings Shayn

I agree with Mike. My family and I are confirmed Dr Who and Torchwood fans. In fact I was hooked when I saw the very first episode of Dr Who as a teenagare in the 60's. However, while I am continuing to watch Miracle Day, it has been produced as an Epic, no doubt to suit American audiences who crave stories like this, and such as "Lost" and "The Event". However, with Miracle Day, I believe I could have watched only half of the episodes being aired and not lost any thread of the story. In some episodes I was waiting for something significant to happen, something pivotal, and that didn't happen until we flashed back to Jack's affair with the Italian immigrant.
I wish you would go back to the snappy, 1-2 epidode stories. Much more interesting.

When Torchwood started I thought this was a new fresh TV series and badly needed addition to the meagre splattering of SciFi to be found on British TV. The concept was brilliant. Unfortunately though, the latest series has gone from a great episode one to complete Americanised trash in the space of 2 weeks and of course you just HAD to ruin it with your damn gay agenda. Have you seen a counsellor about your need to ram your homosexuality down our throats all the time? And now in such revoltingly graphic detail. This is completely unnecessary and out of context in a TV SciFi show. Thank God you no longer write Doctor Who. No more Torchwood for me. You’ve buggered it!

I've heard about all the complaints about torchwood being 'too gay'. I just want to say to everyone who's complained: you're disgusting. There's nothing wrong with being gay, open up your narrow minds! If this were a programme on Sky, there would be no complaints. Thank you Russel for standing up for what is right and thank you BBC for having such good programmes.

P.S please don't make this your last Torchwood. I and many others miss your writing on Doctor Who and don't want to miss Torchwood too.

I think I've contacted you before?

I think you need a new direction?

Check out my new and improved comic: http://gaysoldierguys.blogspot.com

I love this HTML'ish set-up, it's brilliant! I could put it on my blog to help stop all those sexual nutters, I try to avoid.

I just wanted to say how much I'm loving Miracle Day. I'm just now starting to watch Episode 9 and can't wait to see how it ends. But if you should do a Series 5 please take the team back to Cardiff. While I love the series long story arc of Miracle Day and of Children of Earth previously I have to say I preferred the semi-self contained stories of Series 1 and 2 that had Torchwood doing what it does best: catching aliens and the like. And should you go back to that format I would love it if you could get Freema Agyeman to reprise her role of Martha Jones and use her in the medical role and relocate Alexa Havins Esther from the CIA to Torchwood and use her in a tech role similar to Tosh.

Russell,
I really, really hope there will be more Torchwood for all the Torchwood fans out there.

Can't wait till next weeks episode X"D That was a hell of a cliffhangerending of episode nine! I like the variations of the face-of-boe music hidden from time to time! Fantastic!

Shayn

I hope he does come back for a new torchwood mircle day was ok but it was more hoolywood because of bigger budget. But stillwant a new season

Hi Russell, Might I say this series is not as good as the previous 3. But never the less I'm still excited to see the next episode. Being a proud welsh man I love the fact that even though the series is mainly based in America there is still a lot of reference to Wales, this is condonable. Keep up the good work and I truly hope that there will be a series 5 of Torchwood. Is there any news on that? Andrew how dare you even comment on someone burning in a car, You seem to have some serious issues, seek help!!

Well, ur series has certainly caused controversy....My personal opinion of the latest series is that it is great overall....some bits love, some not so keen on , but as I have a life then I dont fixate on a tv programme to the extent of wishing death and destruction to the writers! On the gay love scene -get real, it life, we don't complain when heterosexuals get it on.....

Loved the mention of the Vivaldi Inheritance in 2004, (tonight's Torchwood).

Oh Mr Davies, you are so entertaining. : )

All our love,

Russell,

I loved what Julie & you did on Dr. Who, just the best sci-fi tv out there. Torchwood, the first 2 seasons were great, top notch stuff. The Children of Earth mini-series & Miracle Day simply are unwatchable. Each episode is like watching the previous one with very little added. The current series & previous is just one story broken down into parts. It might fly as an episode but not a season, in fact I threw in the towel a few weeks ago. I don't know if it was previous successes or budget that dictated how this season was going to be laid out so maybe your hands were tied. If your up for the challenge & get another chance ask for more dollars & sit down with Julie & re-watch any of the first 2 seasons of Torchwood or any of your Doctor Who's. Bring pencils & paper with you & compare all the way down the line. I think when you compare notes you will be able to judge & conclude what your audience has.Maybe a big budget movie bringing all the original cast back ( somehow) or revisiting the formula that worked so well is the way to go. The surpising thing to me is that this season of Torchwood with the added cast are just not that interesting, the story concept is good but everything was stretched to the point that it didn't work . I always felt your strong point on Doctor Who is somehow you managed to cram 4 hours worth of content each week into 43 minutes, with Miracle day you have gone the opposite direction. As always the best in the future & hope this is not the end of Torchwood-Mike

I can't believe some of the things I have read in the last couple of hours re. RTD, Doctor Who and Torchwood. I'll try and be concise. RTD brought Doctor Who back after x amount of years and it was hugely successful hence why it's still on our TVs today. Secondly, Torchwood was RTD's concept-he did not take a "great British institution and ruin it" It didn't exist until RTD thought of it! Perhaps some people don't like it but we can't all like the same things (Personally, I love it!!) Lastly Russel T Davies has been an amazing ambassador for British writing as well as making same sex relationships more acceptable on our television screens. Long may it continue!!

Stop exposing BBC viewers to your non-stop pro gay crusade. It really is counter productive to the gay cause and plays straight into the hands of bigots and homophobes.
You are NOT at the vanguard of some novel emancipation scheme where you and your cohorts will ride off into the sunset a la Brokeback Mountain. You are actually rather boring and unimaginative if you think you are being controversial and shocking. Yawn, yawn, yawn, Mr RTD. So you're Gay.........get over it.

Just another one of us saying - hell, what went wrong with miracle day. Torchwood in all its previous incarnations has been an absolutely riveting television experience. Miracle day is ...kinda interesting.... but not what i came to expect from torchwood. Anyway russell i hope you make good money off it and continue to make great shows. Sad tho, to see this great series hit such a droll point. Bye bye lovely captain xxx

Well done sir, you have ruined a perfectly good british show. what went from a quirky welsh sci-fi is now a dull uninteresting americanised load of crap.
I hope starz paid you a lot of money for fucking over the loyal fans of this once great progamme. I will never watch or buy anything you are even slightly assosiated with after this.

Fuck you, go die in a car fire.

This is the first time I have written on anything like this.I've been reading comments about the latest series of Torchwood and I just don't understand it.For me this is the best series ever.Every week I'm on the edge of my seat and cannot wait for the next episode.This weeks,where we meet Angelo,was the best episode ever,I was scared to breathe in case I missed something.Cannot wait for this weeks to see the return of Oswald,he makes my skin crawl and the next episode won't let me down judging by the trailer.The best tv in a long time,thank you Russell.x

I have loved Dr Who all my life, especially since its revivial. Love John Barrowman and Eve Miles.

I have watched every series of Torchwood but this latest one! - What a let down. First two episodes great - watched them 'live'. But since then have recorded them so that I can zoom through.

Ten episodes! Far too long - could see the concentration camps coming a mile off. Why did you go to Amercia they always spoil good British drama.

Mr. Davies, come back to Wales and drop the Americans - your work was much better without them.

Carolyn

I realise that the chances of you reading this are very low, but what the hell. I wanted to let you know, Russell, that your work and, more recently, your book 'The Writer's Tale: The Final Chapter' have been a true inspiration to me.

I have always loved writing -- I remember being given a child's typewriter when I was about 5 years old and wasting no time in creating an array of stories. As I grew up, I continued to write short stories, then poetry and play scripts; all for my own amusement.

I trained as a secondary school teacher and that has taken priority over the last few years, until (God help me!), I had an uncontrollable urge to write a novel which gradually became all-consuming. I even ended up going part-time so I would have more time and energy for the book. Now it's finished and I feel like I'm starting my life all over again in many ways, having to re-write my CV, trying to work out ways to (shudder) sell myself.

But your work, your writing, motivates me to carry on and see what comes of it all. Thank you.

This Torchwood is clearly made by an american production company and as AWFULL.
\padded out so much to allow lots of adverts.
simple hooks designed to make you think the next episode will reveal something when it does not.
First episode was great,. rest rubbish.
The Americans can NOT make decent intelligent TV
MR DAVIES YOU MUST DISOWN IT NOW

I love all of his work! Just absolutely amazing! But I think he should give Captain Jack a green U.S. WWII era coat, it would look almost identical to his current one, accept green cause he's now in America

Dearest Russell:

I have never written a fan note. Five minutes have now elapsed since experiencing Torchwood season 4 episode 7. I find that I have absolutely no choice but to write this:

you, sir, are a genius.

I would have written sooner but the first four minutes were spent wiping the tears from my eyes.

I LUV LUV LUV TW Season 4! Every time I think it couldn't be better you proof that it could be. The story is so fantastic, brings so much emotions! I really like it.

I'm looking forward to day 7! Last episode's end was terrifying brilliant!

When I started my DT and JB DVD-Collection, I never mind that I would have a RTD-Moviecollection as well X"D but I am really a Fan of your's

Torchwood is amazing. I've got to say though, I am bailing out after season three episode four. Three amazing characters have been killed off - what do you really expect people to do? I feel like there threre is nothing for me to stick by. Storytelling is about character and relationships and there is very few of either left. I think characters are hard to keep consistantly interesting and easy to kill. Jamie

I like Torchwood, and Enjoy it every week but I must say RTD replacement is not up to the standard for Doctor Who. At least in his day I could just about stand the insanity in the episode. I think Tennant would have been a good Doctor if the writing was improved and the character wasn't made totally insane. I mean look at David Tennant in Big Finish, His role as Daft Jamie was amazing. But Moffat makes my blood boil with his unsatisfactory level of writing. He was good writing an episode once every so often but now he is the main writer, it's just not working for him. I know for a FACT that a lot of people agree with me. The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances was the best piece of work he ever did and now there is no more good stuff coming through. Who the hell thought up the idea of having a Silurian killing Jack the Ripper. What A Daft and Ridiculous idea.

Ok, I don't often feel the need to put forward my own personal opinions to others but, after really, no really, really enjoying the previous (and I say this only because the name associates the current series with the previous 3) series of Torchwood, I am disappointed with this current series (4) of Torchwood. I will be totally honest and say that this series compared to the previous 3 is poor, very poor. If it wasn't for the 2 remaining charactors (Jack and Gwen) then there would be nothing other than a few passing comments on "Torchwood" technology which some how managed to find it's way back into the hands of "Torchwood" even though all traces of the organization had been erased and that Gwen had left her home with nothing other than a gun, reese and her baby, to make you think you were watching anything other than a new amercan SCI FI drama.

I was so looking forward to this 4th series of Torchwood, well after the previous 3 excellent series who wouldn't. But I speak from only my personal experience of series 4 and I say, this is not Torchwood as we have known it over the previous three series, There may be some big revelation to come in the last few episodes, but even so, all that made Torchwood what it was in the 3 brilliant series that came before it, is not what is being shown in series 4. for me, it is a real disappointment, the concepet of Miracle Day is great, the way that the remaining Torchwood "2 members" have been used in the plot of this is poor to say the least.

What a shame, a good SCFI drama that had a decent viewer base that from personal experience I looked forward to watching every week, and I know many friends did too has now, well showed it's self as burden on the weekly payments.

Russell,

Do you read all the comments from random strangers? Regardless, many thanks to you and your team for the most compelling televsion I've seen since Battlestar Galactica. Hope if I ever finish my French screenplay I have the good fortune to work with people as talented and dedicated as the team behind the current series of Torchwood.

All the best!

Hi,

Yep,dreadful, why did she die, outspoken and forthright....Wow, no strong women are meant to survive are they???????????? World is man orientated, guess it is a given, that those of us who stand up and are counted (even for a short time) are allowed to live,just think of the movies. We all die!!!!!!!!!! Watch out Gwen.

On a serious note the storyline was once again religiously driven and her death was astonishing and shocking. It brings comments, it makes us notice, that those who come against POWER AND CONTROL, really need to be up there, have money and be at the top of the tree, we are all at the mercy of those in control and to think otherwise is ridiculous......

Loved the storyline....Saw Dot Cottons -who do you think you are....Did you know the spanish inquisition was a hatred against jews....what a sad world we need to punish those who believe in GOD, who are gay, who are different colour skins or who have diffferent accents...

Anyway Russell, loved it, it made sense, past repeating itself, it made my son Jack and I cry...........
