I absolutely LOATHED the first series of Torchwood, trying too hard, too much sex, too scary for kids - kids couldn't watch it but wanted to = major headache for parents - I would now let them watch this.

Question though, why was Gwen's accent getting stronger by the second? And what IS going to happen to Owen. Surely all his bits are going to keep falling off and he is going to turn into one of Terry Pratchett's Igors?

Welsh accents are funny things and can get stronger or weaker depending on stress, what you're talking about, etc. My wife's been living in London so long and because of the nature of her work, her Welsh accent's almost disappeared. But if she starts talking about Wales, it comes back for a bit. Amusingly, we once played Welsh monopoly and her accent stuck on 'Swansea' for three days. Tee hee.

As for Owen, let's not go there. The man can talk but has no breath.

I bet they all woke up next day with raging hangovers and pretended to each other that they remembered, out of embarrassment - "oh yeah, the dress was lovely, yeah" "yeah and um, the, er, speeches, they were good"

I doubt that the somewhat prim and proper parents of Rhys would be accustomed to getting so drunk they can't remember anything. At the very least, they might be wondering why there weren't any photos or videos of the happy occasion.

Like I said, it's probably just me, but I could buy into a family resemblance between the two.
