Torchwood S4 remains the vaporware it's been all along, despite the noise that it's coming back any minute now, bigger, stronger, faster. It's a soniced-up, televisual eyegasm - or so it hopes.
And he's going to have to do so without some of what he considers to be edgy plot points - murdering kids onscreen will NOT play in Peoria! And undoubtedly kissing the bf won't play well either.
What no one has noticed is that this story broke on the Guardian Media page at the same time as another which reports A tiger aspect managing director leaving the UK/BBC for Warner Bros International. (http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/jan/19/andrew-zein-leaving-tiger-aspect) Tiger Aspect (http://www.tigeraspect.co.uk/?page_id=6) being a company that - together with Kudos the Beeb commissions a great deal of high profile programming from.
I think the money is really really tightnon-existant at the moment. At Brits think the US have money - a year ago maybe studios did. Now? I'm not so sure about that either.
