I've pleaded. I've put my foot down. I've said I won't have it in the house. I've told her it's appalling and one of the worst TV shows in recent memory.
But she won't listen. She misses him.
Is there any way I can stop my wife getting her John Barrowman fix through buying the first series of Torchwood on DVD? I wouldn't have minded if it was the second series…

You can console yourself by thinking, if you look at it a certain way, that Cyberwoman is the best 45 minutes of comedy that the BBC has ever screened.

Is it the oh so tempting £17.99 offer at Play.com? I'm only asking because I've just given in. It's horrible being a completist. At least I waited for the price to go down and I do still think 'Everything Changes' is a great piece of tv even if it all went down hill from there. The commentaries a treat as Julie and RTD start noting all of the things which went wrong with the series...

Think of it as a small price to pay for marital harmony. Just find an excuse to be elsewhere when she watches it.

I'm having the same problem with my husband, which, if you think about it, is a tad more worrying...

Ooh, it's almost worth getting for that reason alone then. Maybe I should call off my moratorium and then it could be a treat for my wife and she could owe me a favour after I claim great hardship in having to watch it then....

Do they start by saying 'it's mainly Russell's fault for casting that wooden lump as Captain Jack in the first place and then ripping off Angel so badly for the series' premise'? :)
