Torchwood takes over the world. Those of a spoiler sensitive nature should avoid unless you've actually seen the episodes so far this season. Mark

Now we know what the school league tables are for. It was suggested in thus house that all the left handed kids would be given up. I reckoned all the special needs kids would be. Seems that I was partially right.

I was disgusted at that speech. It was a very powerful, well written scene. Mark

Torchwood portrayed the politicians perfectly the meeting to decide how, who and what would be sacrificed was about spot on …

That was a great scene – I do like stuff like this. It doesn’t have to be science fiction either – I get caught up in the arguments and the discussions. What would you do then? How would you make the choice? It’s a massively overblown version of a philosophical dilemma. A train is hurtling towards a crowd of people. You have the chance to throw the points to send it on a different line, but in doing so it will kill a baby.
