HOW can we get the uncensored versions of Torchwood and Dr Who here in the US? I know the DVDs are available via the BBC site but does anyone know if they are censored???

I think the Torchwood series is starting out slow.. we have just started them on BBC America as you mentioned... I am watching one season of Dr Who on BBC A and the other on Sci Fi.

The pic of Captain Jack and Ianto snogging isn't until episode 13. There is a better kiss between Captain Jack and the real Captain Jack (long story) in episode 12.

It seems they are really playing up the bi-sexual angle in Torchwood (a good thing in my opinion). It would seem that they all are up to shagging each other, of either gender. At first I was a bit surprised when it was revealed that Ianto had a girlfriend before, but then he and Captain Jack started up a thing. At first it appeared to be just about sex, friends with benefits, but the story line seems to be taking it further. And when facing certain death, Own propositions both Ianto and Toshi -- and let us not forget Toshi's lesbian adventure.

It was made quite clear from the get go (and the Dr. Who series) that Capt. Jack is not particularly interested in the gender, so much as the action/passion (he'll shag anything cute). Though now they are portraying actual feelings for his conquests/lovers, though he still is pretty much a slut, a lovable cad, but nonetheless rather sexually carnivorous (and not always discerning).

In my opinion, it seems the writers (who some argue are pretty bad -- an argument I have to agree with) are trying to portray gender as unimportant to the person. Kind of like Queer as Folk meets Sex in the City in a sci-fi setting.

Guilty pleasure thing, damn right, I love it!

Well - I know this thread is about the guys, but having seen more than a full season of Torchwood (and having bought S1 on DVD), here's my 2 cents' worth about the whole cast:

JOHN BARROWMAN - The reason I started watching to begin with. I was familiar with him before Torchwood & always fancied him. Still do. He may be the weakest actor on the show, but he's total eye candy.
EVE MYLES - Hot. No woman wears a pair of tight jeans better than Eve. Jack has a line on one ep about her having all the right curves in all the right places. He's right.
BURN GORMAN - Some here have dissed his acting. I've never seen him in anything but Torchwood, but based on only this show I'd say he's an OK actor. ...But hottie factor wise, he does nill for me. He's the only one of the main cast I honestly don't find remotely attractive.
NAOKO MORI - Also hot. ....In that totally shagable braniac chick sorta way.
GARETH DAVID-LLOYD - I came to the show cos of J.B., but it's D.G.L. I'm now totally smitten with. Sweet enigmatic Ianto. He looks great in a suit, but I'd far prefer to see him out of it.
Does there exist a proper shirtless photo of this man? His appearance on "Casualty" hints at a hairy chest {sigh}....see attached.

I got a link ages back to a site claiming to show JB naked. Funnily enough the pic's only from the neck down, so make up your own minds as to whether or not it's him.

john barrowman nudity

Series 2 starts off well, with James Marsters making an appearance. Mmm...

OK, this is slightly off-topic, but I have to give honorable mention to the following Doctor Who guest stars:

Adam Garcia who played Prime Minister Harriet Jones's aide, Alex, in The Christmas Invasion. He was also a co-founder of the dance troupe "Tap Dogs."

Hadley Fraser and Oliver Mellor, who played Gareth and Matt, respectively, in Army of Ghosts.

The most recent episode, titled "Adrift," features a quick shot of Jack and Ianto shirtless, suggested trouser-less too (although it's not seen) and engaged in some pretty heavy macking.

Burn Gorman is actually the best actor on the show, but still as ugly as someone who fell off the top of the ugly tree and hit every ugly branch on the way down.

EDITED TO ADD:

Here's the only "nude" picture of John Barrowman i've seen.

That's Tom Cruise, stupid.

Adam Garcia is heaven. I did actually see him once in The Abbey, a gay bar in West Hollywood, but I think he was just being trendy, not homosexual. Shame.

Gareth David-Lloyd and John Barrowman:
Ianto and Capt. Jack caught in flagrante delicto.
:arms:
Ah, you beat me to it.

I am a Sci-fi freak from way back and though I have watched Torchwood, I find the acting is pretty lame and the storylines need improvement. For that reason I have stopped watching it. (Should note I watched the original Dr. Who and never got into the new version.)

In my opinion, best TV Sci-fi to be broadcast in a long time was Stargate: SG1 when Richard Dean Anderson. Until I own the series I have to watch it in reruns.

Much as I would love to join in the John Barrowman/Gareth David Lloyd fun from Adrift, round our house we collectively think that the previously mentioned Kai Owen is the sexiest man in Torchwood. And this scene from Something Borrowed made us both stop and rewind. Apologies for the terrible quality.

I just need to chime in with my lust for John Barrowman and Garth David-Lloyd, plus the Kai Owen appreciation. Not to mention the ladies, especially Daniela Denby-Ashe (Mary from 1.7) and Louise Delamere (Diane from 1.10). And have to agree Burn Gorman doesn't appeal to me.

I'm almost through the first season on DVD and really enjoy the show. I'm one of those people that either likes something or doesn't. If I do, I may be aware of poor acting/writing but it doesn't bother me. So while I don't disagree with the criticisms against the show I also don't really see it that way myself when I'm watching it. Doesn't quite make it to my top shows list but I'm definitely a fan.
