Project: Torchwood: 2021-02-07

Funny old world! Still in Lockdown – those of us who aren’t key workers. Torchwood never rests and neither do we. Even if we feel as if hibernating would be a wonderful thing to do right now.

2020 initially held a little hope for a good year but then the virus hit, and it hit as hard as it could possibly strike, and loved ones were lost, and many more were fighting for their lives in hospitals so full to capacity that many NHS staff were close to breaking point. Fuckwits were still parading the streets as if this was just a mild case of the flu, infecting thousands in their wake.

We lost a good many people from the world of television and even old Captain Tom Moore was taken at the beginning of the second month of 2021. Such a beacon of hope and a National Hero.

So, what can we say about 2021 but, we’re still here, and we’re not going anywhere, and as soon as we’ve fixed this issue, I’m going to hide the bloody Rift key so that this doesn’t happen again? Just need a good hiding place. Suggestions welcome.

It’s good to be back and we’ve got quite a bumper edition for you this month. With stories, reviews, our usual and our final COE locations.

S Florence has returned with more Lady C stories, and The Eternal Diamond will whet the appetite for more.

Outlander is our new Connections, and it’s quite amazing just how many cast of Who, Sarah Jane and indeed Torchwood there were in the series. Far more than I expected.

We have two reviews of Revolution of the Daleks for you. I rewatched the episode and this time with subtitles and changed my initial response to it. But I do agree with Tony’s review, especially regarding Captain Jack and the battle on the bridge.

Overall, I did enjoy the episode.

We have a new Who writer by the name of Kellie, please make her feel welcome.

I have a feeling someone has been tinkering with the Rift Manipulator again – it’s trying to snow– oh wait, that’s what happens in Winter.

Thank you as ever to my awesome team, who without their support, would see this little blogzine stuck in the void!

Stay safe and see you back here in March.

Articles Where Are They Now: Miracle Day: The Blood Line Cast?

The final instalment of the series, The Blood Line, brought the fight to Buenos Aires and Shanghai, or a Pit in Old Shanghai, antipodes of each other. Jack at one end and Rex the other. It was only going to end in bloodshed. Was this where we saw our Immortal now Mortal Jack Harkness facing his last, at the hands of his most loyal of colleagues? It said goodbye to the many and a welcome return of others. Torchwood were resetting the world and bringing Death Back.

Beyond The Hub Designated Survivor by DJ Forrest

Designated Survivor is a political drama series that spanned 3 seasons, with only 10 episodes in the final season rather than the 20 or so episodes in the first two. It was written by David Guggenheim (younger brother of Marc (Arrow) and Eric (Hawaii 5-0) and starred Keifer Sutherland as the new POTUS and Maggie Q as the FBI agent and Kal Penn as his Press Secretary.

A bomb explodes on the night of the State of the Union where all the President's Men and indeed women are residing, including the President himself. They are all killed. This leaves only the designated survivor, Thomas (Tom) Kirkman, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. He is quickly sworn in and assumes the role of President without having the faintest idea how to be one. During the first season, he makes many decisions, not all comfortable ones and perhaps not all good ones, but with a dedicated team behind him, he soon finds his feet and settles comfortably behind the desk of the Oval Office.

By the second series, Tom seeks council with the 44th President Cornelius Moss, who at first seems to be helping Tom in his position. So much so, that Tom gives him an active role in his administration. But when it begins to turn sour, a huge wedge is driven between the two men, and Moss is fired from his role. It also ignites Cornelius' decision to stand again in the coming elections, for a 'better President'. However, after a dirty tricks campaign, administered by campaign manager Lorraine Zimmer played by Julie White, left a foul taste in the mouth, when it seemed that Kirkman didn't respond in the way that the team felt he should have, close friend and colleague, Emily Rhodes took matters into her own hands.

Maggie Q plays Hannah Wells (one of my favourite characters in the series) who we may all remember from the series Nikita, is now an FBI agent, dedicated to her job, perhaps a little too dedicated, and enacting her own levels of justice on those who wrong her, but her heart has always been in the right place - to protect and serve her President. Right up to the end.

Kal Penn plays Seth Wright, the White House Communications Director. He doubted Kirkman's role as President, saying as much to the man himself, unaware of who he was in the other cubicle (at the time) but soon became one of his strongest supporters. He was promoted to Press Secretary and in Series 3 promoted further to Communications Director.

An interesting factoid that I've only just discovered, is that Kal Penn is not just an actor but was also a former White House staff member during the Obama administration. Or to give him his full title, White House Office of Public Liaison. In 2009 he was offered and took the position of Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs. He has been a strong supporter of the Obama Administration and full supporter of the Democrats, even supporting Bernie Sanders for the 2016 Democratic nomination and campaigning for Hillary Clinton. After remarks by Chump, Penn and other members of the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities resigned in 2017 after the Right Rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

But what has all of this got to with Doctor Who and Torchwood, I hear you scream. Well I'm coming to that. Patience!

I was searching for a boxset to watch over the next couple of months, to break up the general 'sod all to watch on freeview' of an evening, and 'remind me why I'm paying for a TV licence, again?' when a suggestion came up after watching 'Homeland' for the past 7 seasons over the course of about 2 months!!!

Designated Survivor had been saved in My List for some time before I decided to give it a go. A family member told me that it was worth a watch, so one bored evening, with 'sod all on the telly' I tried out an episode. Three episodes later, I was hooked. It felt very much like The West Wing, and had a group of likeable characters. Kal Penn I felt I'd seen before, and had, from 'House'. Keifer obviously from all those 80s classics such as 'Lost Boys' and 'Stand by Me' and not forgetting 'Young Guns'.

There were several people during the season to get excited about, especially for the Torchwood fans and most especially because we've now reached the month (Issue 88) where we're covering The Blood Line, and not only hear the voice of The Cousin but actually see him too. Yes, Chris Butler plays a devious role in DS, but actually, I quite liked him in this. He came over far more charismatic than the Cousin. He drew people in, but his deceit came at the end, when his ruse was discovered.

From Doctor Who we had Kevin McNally who played Hugo Lang in The Twin Dilemma. During the first season of DS he played General Harris Cochrane, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who was like all these old Generals you see at the first sign of enemy attack, or enemy threat, is to strike first and to hell with the casualties. He hated Kirkman's responses to attack and was determined to take matters into his own hands. He was eventually removed from office and was tagged by the Police, not to leave his home after curfew. Eventually, the real perpetrator was uncovered, but the damage had already been done.

Dillon Casey also made an appearance in Series 2, when Hannah Wells began to work closely with a British double agent. It was great to see Casey back on the telly again, and he was in more than just a few episodes.

There are many interesting faces and I'm still working through it all for an article in the coming months.

I thoroughly enjoyed Designated Survivor, and it showed the level of work a President has to face on their first day, let alone their first week in office. I doubt Chump ever did anything as worthwhile short of throwing his toys out of the pram when he didn't get his own way.

One of the things that I am most happy about these days is that there is a definite shift in the way trans people are portrayed on the television, and more so because, often they are played by transgender people, and not just an actor pretending to be trans. You can only really understand the suffering of a trans person, when you’re actually really in those shoes, and not just slipping them on for a few days filming. Jamie Clayton played Sasha Booker in the third season of Designated Survivor. Sasha was Kirkman’s sister in law. Kirkman used the correct pronoun and treated her like the woman she really was, and admitted that there were still some things he still couldn’t get his head around but said it in such a way that she was relaxed around him, and to be fair, he came across as a very loyal man who deserved to be a President. Very Obama!

Just in the fight for the Presidential seat, when he had initially brought Sasha in as a voice for the people, he changed his mind, and felt that the trans issue would damage his chances of becoming President during the final campaign. Perhaps that’s true – perhaps it’s easier to set that president aside and fight for trans and gay rights once you’ve got your foot firmly inside that door. One thing throughout the series that did change though for Kirkman. Instead of making all his speeches personal – at the final stage, when dirty dealings had been brought to his attention, and ideally those people should have been brought to task and fired, he put it all aside and became a politician.

All in all, it was still a great series and well worth the binge watching! Now, what else can match that?

Connections Outlander by DJ Forrest

Outlander starring Caitriona Balfe as Claire Randall and Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser is a historical drama based on the Outlander novel series of the same name by Diana Gabaldon. It was developed by Ronald D. Moore and begins its story in 1945 during the Second World War, when Claire Randall, a nurse is transported back to Scotland in the year 1743 and encounters Jamie Fraser, a dashing Highland warrior, and becomes involved in the Jacobite risings. Season 1 aired in 2014 with the fifth season closing on 10^th May 2020. Not a series I’ve ever watched fully, I’m unsure if the series will continue to run, or if it’s reached its natural end.

After chatting with Scott Kyle last year for our Lockdown Specials, I began to look into the series cast list and was surprised at how many Who, Torchwood and especially Sarah Jane cast have been involved in the series. So naturally, I had to put together a Connections for it. It took a considerably long time; I can tell you.

So, we’ve done the research, so you don’t have to.
