Torchwood

Seems like pretty good fun so far. Basically just more Doctor Who while Doctor Who itself isn't on. Some of the same failings - like yet another RTD plot based around glowy shit getting into people and taking them over. But, on the whole, good by me. And I think I'm going to get to like Gwen.

So, who reckons the hand in the jar was Doctor #10's from The Christmas Invasion, then?

Edit: and - oh dear - why is it so very valuable to Jack? ;)

Someone I was watching it with pointed out that the actress playing Gwen had been in DrWho before (the Victorian one with the ghosts: she was the maid I think?).

If so, I reckon the glowy shit was a reference to that episode. Or just the special effects people liking glowy shit. Or both :)

As white_hart says above, it's cheap. Also, RTD really does seem rather hung up on it. Glowy stuff got into people at least three times I can think of in the last two series of Dr. Who - the ghost-aliens in the Victorian episode you mention, the TARDIS stuff, and also Lady Cassandra when she kept possessing the Doctor and Rose alternately. There are probably other occurences I've forgotten, too.
