I know most things on my blog have Torchwood as a theme lately but that's only because the new series started. Tonight Torchwood is also on TV in the UK and the people who haven't watched it online yet have the chance to see it today. I really hope you'll like it and forget your anger to be able to watch it nearly a week later than the people in the US. Just leave me a comment here and tell me if you like the first episode. Maybe someone who has watched both versions of the first episode can tell me about the differences between the US and the UK version.
At the moment I'm listening to the last episode of "Torchwood: The Lost Files" and it's really great. I really liked the other ones too. It's amazing what you can do with sound and voices. Sometimes you just don't need pictures to get entertainment.
I also like the Doctor Who radio plays. That's the only time when I get to know the older Doctors and I really like the stories too.
So, UK people I wish you a great Torchwood evening today.

Torchwood Radio Plays
From today on BBC Radio 4 has three radio plays of Torchwood to get people in the mood for the first episode of Miracle Day which will air in the UK on Thursday.
Alright here are the summaries of the different episodes of "Torchwood: The Lost Files" which will air as part of the afternoon play. (Summaries from the BBC website)
1. The Devil and Miss Carew (BBC Radio 4, 11.7.2011, 14.15)
When Rhys's elderly Uncle Bryn has a heart attack while listening to the shipping forecast, it seems like another routine death at Ivyday Nursing Home. But when Rhys and Gwen go to collect the old man's effects, Gwen's suspicions are roused by another elderly resident. The conversation is cut short, though, by a fire alarm, one of many consequences of the mysterious power cuts that are sweeping the nation. Gwen has a hunch that something is wrong and her search leads her to Miss Carew, a suspiciously fit and strong octogenarian who, despite having supposedly terminal heart disease, has left Ivyday and gone back to work at the Computer firm she used to run. Miss Carew has been offered a deal by Fitzroy, a wandering alien with an aversion to electricity who is looking for a home. It's a deal that Miss Carew can't refuse. But the consequences for planet Earth are unthinkable.
2. Submission (BBC Radio 4, 12.7.2011, 14.15)
In Ryan Scott's episode, Torchwood are chasing aliens down the M4, when Jack accidentally blows a hole in the Severn Bridge, and the SUV hits the water. Whilst submerged John, Gwen and Ianto hear a strange noise, which, back at the Hub they realise is a cry for help. They track the cry to its source which turns out to be the deepest part of the Ocean - the Mariana Trench. Ianto rings old Torchwood flame, Carlie Roberts, who's an expert in marine geology, and Jack pulls strings with the US government to get them all on board the USS Calvin, an Arleigh Burke class destroyer, which is heading for the Trench. From there they board the Octopus Rock, the only submarine built to withstand the pressure at that depth, and follow the signal. But when the Submarine crashes, the team are left at the mercy of a hungry alien.
3. The House of the Dead (BBC Radio 4, 12.7.2011, 14.15)
The brewery have called 'time' and it's the last night at The House of the Dead - the most haunted pub in Wales. Barry the barman has invited renowned psychic, Mrs Wintergreen, to hold a special seance to mark the occasion, and there's a big crowd hoping for the chance of seeing their deceased loved ones for one last time. But when Jack arrives on the scene, he's determined to stop them. Ianto is puzzled by Jack's behaviour, and Gwen is suspicious. Why is Jack acting so strangely? Then the ghosts start arriving - and all hell breaks loose.
You can listen to all of the episodes on the BBC iPlayer.
