wrenbLast night DH and I started to watch the current season of Dr Who (yay bit torrent!) -- season 3 of the revival, or season 2 of the 10th Dr.
We had the best time with the second episode, the Shakespeare Code. At one point we were laughing so hard we had to pause the program for 2 whole minutes until we could breath again. It was when Shakespeare pulled a Captain Jack and hit on Martha and the Dr at once, and the Dr deadpans "57 scholars just pumped the air".
I love how open the current Dr Who and Torchwood writers are about sexuality. I could use a little less of the graphic sex in Torchwood, but the basis is great. They're not uptight about gender at all. Dh and I were wondering if that's particular to Dr Who and Torchwood or if it's more generalized across British television.
