Download the MP3 of Torchwood: Lost Souls
Martha Jones has travelled in time and space, saved the world (more than once) and is buddies with a Lord of Time. She is also a doctor for the UN trask force and has just been called to CERN.
Her friend is a Doctor at CERN who reported scientists going missing ahead of the switching on of the Large Hadron Collider before going missing herself.
“Where have the missing scientists gone? What is the secret of the glowing man? What is lurking in the underground tunnel? And do the dead ever really stay dead?”
These are some of the questions we might get answers to over the course of the episode - an episode that has all the stars of the TV show in it and is the same legnth as a TV episode (45 minutes).
Lost Souls is a spin-off from the award-winning BBC Wales TV production Torchwood. It stars John Barrowman, Freema Agyeman, Eve Myles, Gareth David-Lloyd, Lucy Montgomery (of Titty Bang Bang) and Stephen Critchlow.
Obviously it would be great to listen to this as it goes out, after all BBC Radio 4 is available on the internet and should be available to most people sitting at their desks - but even then there are problems.
In Jersey tommorrow there is a major international air display and today (at 2.15) the bloody noisy jets have been practicing and getting a feel for the arena - and as my office is just up the road from the arena I couldn’t hear a thing.
Not only could I not hear a thing but the wholly bloody room was shaking as well - but it was worth it as it was a brilliant sight and equally brilliant sound - but still, they interupted Torchwood.
Now I could just wait until its added to the iPlayer - but why wait. Torchwood is going to be made available as an mp3 for download so I can just put it on my iPod and listen on the move.
I actually got so fed up with not being able to hear anything I just turned it off and went back to listening to the States of Jersey GST debate instead!
You can download Torchwood: Lost Souls from the BBC Radio 4 Big Bang website.
Digg the story (you’ll be digging a link to the actual BBC Big Bang Torchwood page).

I love Torchwood, I love science, I love Radio 4 and I equally love it when you get all of those things put together in celebration of a major scientific breakthrough - The Big Bang!
Me in Spooks

Well not exactly Spooks but the new spin-off series set in the future and on BBC Three, Spooks Code 9. We’ll actually not that either - a really funky internet app that puts you in your own short movie.

Doctor Who and Clifford

If someone asked me to come up with three shows broadcast on the BBC that are most like Doctor Who the first thing I’d ask would be ‘most like in what way?’ [Read more]

You may have noticed a complete lack of posts over the last few days - well that’s because I’m on holiday visiting my parents in England.

Torchwood embed
January 16, 2008
I wrote a post a few days ago looking at a few of the BBC sites that are switching to Flash Video and allow embed - all I could find at that time was music related embed.
Torchwood has flash video but didn’t allow you to embed the clips on another site. Well now they do. Once you accept the terms and conditions it lets you embed video from the vast majority of clips - the exception seems to be the ones where there are other copyright issues.
Although embedding isn’t as clever as the way it works with You Tube - it takes you to another page with a textarea box and a load of code - including div tags and all - not nearly as easy to use but a great leap forward for the BBC.
The clip above is a general Torchwood trailer and this one is a preview of the series ahead.
NOTE: I had to remove the second < /div > tag to get the embed to work without messing up my blog page.
All the clips on bbc.co.uk/torchwood have social links (del.icio.us, digg etal), e-mail links and a link to watch the Real/Windows Media version of the same clip.
I imagine the site will also include the iPlayer stream of each episode as it airs as well - the Doctor Who version did so I don’t see why this shouldn’t.
The embed code they give you is still a little ropey - the video could be a little smaller, or at the very least the border around the edge could be a little bit smaller.
As for the first episode - Kiss, Kiss Bang Bang - it was top SciFi - it was an example of taking humour, dark elements and an improving show concept, mixing it all together and coming up with something pretty special.
I really enjoyed it and thought it was a LOT better than series one (I have all of series one on DVD and enjoyed it a lot) and is set to continue to improve throughout the next twelve episodes.
There’s some really good stuff on TV right now.
