I managed it. Just like I said I would and despite a lone request for me to tune in, I avoided Torchwood yesterday. I didn’t watch it on the tele. I didn’t set the PVR. I feel a certain sense of freedom.
But now I’m curious. Was it any good? The first of the Behind the Sofa reviews says it was both rubbish and offensive, which is what I suspected, but would anyone else like to chime in? There are going to be about 17 different repeats of it, if I need to catch up, I suppose…

I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
