Nice to see that this boxset has fallen down to a reasonable price. I paid about the same amount just for one of the 'vanilla releases' 18 months or so ago, and they're still going for that amount in alot of places now. So you'll be saving alot of money with this boxset at £17.99.

Anyway, Torchwood is, in a word, great! I love Doctor Who but sometimes it can seem a bit too childish for me (the revived series anyway), so it's nice to have this 'adult' spin-off. However, as the previous reviewer has mentioned, it tends to try too hard to be mature at times. Like it's parent series, some episodes make you feel as though you are watching a CBBC show, perhaps despite the odd swear word, violence and sex. That said, most of the episodes are really good at the very least, 'Countrycide' is a favourite of mine, very much like 'The Hills Have Eyes'.
