Ianto JonesWhich "Torchwood" character are you? You might not want to know the answer.
Yesterday we took a look at a quiz asking Which Make Me a Supermodel model are you?. Bravo's modeling contest isn't the only show offering a personality quiz, however, as BBC America's website is featuring a personality quiz that asks, "Which Torchwood member are you?" Unfortunately, this was my result: You are Gwen You think with your heart. It's maybe not the most effective way of leading, but your sensitivity and compassion are strengths when it comes to dealing with people. However, "heart" gets a bad rap these days; ruthlessness and ambition are more prized qualities. But you get the job done, and you're usually able to live with yourself the next day. Now, about that little affair with Owen... Of course, like any sensible Torchwood viewer, my immediate reaction was to hit the 'back' button, try to find the Gwen-ish answers and change them. No luck.
So maybe part of the problem is that what I see as an Ianto or a Tosh answer is seen quite differently by the person who created this quiz. Maybe when I look at the "favorite Beatle" question and think "Ianto would connect with Paul McCartney's devotion and loyalty" or "Analytical Tosh can probably come up with an equal number of reasons for why each Beatle should be her favorite." Either way, when I answer this quiz honestly, I feel like I've been called selfish, callous and a bit thick. I'm curious to what everyone else got. Who gets to be the cute and quiet office boy who snogs Captain Jack? Even better, who gets to be the roguish time immortal time traveler? Submitted by on Tue, 2008-04-01 10:32. Ask Ianto! Submit your questions for Torchwood's Gareth David-Lloyd
We're delighted to announce that we'll soon be interviewing Gareth David-Lloyd, the infinitely squeezable actor who plays Ianto Jones on the hit sci-fi series Torchwood. And rather than hog all the fun ourselves, we thought we'd give all you Torchwoodies out there a chance to ask Ianto your own burning questions. Now, we can't guarantee that we'll be able to use all questions, but we will be sure to put a few of the fan-submitted q's to the soft-spoken Welshman when we have his ear. Simply drop your questions in the comments and we'll take it from there! Now all that remains is to figure out just how many different ways it's possible to word the phrase "What's it like to make out with John Barrowman?"... Submitted by on Tue, 2008-02-12 11:33. Torchwood to go pre watershed on BBC2
Torchwood, the BBC’s award-winning drama and current cult sci-fi favourite, will be bursting back on to UK TV screens in mid-January, bigger and bolder than ever. And in response to audience demand, younger fans of the show will now be given the opportunity to watch a specially edited pre-watershed repeat when the Doctor Who spinoff switches from BBC Three to a primetime slot on BBC Two.
Quite what that means for fans of the Captain Jack (John Barrowman) and Ianto Jones (Gareth Lloyd-Davies) relationship, only time will tell. However, speaking at the recent Torchwood season two press launch, when it came to the subject of the show's gay relationships, executive producer Russell T Davies was quick to point out that “the kissing won’t be removed” from the pre-watershed repeats. Apparently, the move to introduce an edited version of the show for pre-watershed broadcast (before 9pm which is the cut-off point for programs intended for family viewing and those programs intended for an adult audience) was in response to "popular demand from families and younger viewers". Davies also added: "This series pushes the Torchwood team further than ever before. They are joined by some incredible guest stars who are really going to cause waves. It's adventurous, thrilling and packed full of surprises." The new thirteen-part series sees Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s James Marsters making a special appearance in the first episode, as Captain John. Other well-known faces set to make an appearance in season two include Richard Briers, Nerys Hughes and Ugly Betty’s Alan Dale, as well as Doctor Who’s companion, Martha Jones, played by Freema Agyeman. Also speaking at the press launch, BBC Two controller Roly Keating added: "We're delighted that Torchwood is joining BBC Two. We know from the success and popularity of Heroes (also shown on BBC2) that there's a growing appetite for smart, high-quality, sci-fi drama on the channel so Torchwood is a perfect fit.”
The first series of Torchwood premiered on BBC Three last year, and achieved the channel's highest ratings for 2006, with an audience of 2.5 million turning in for the first episode. Submitted by on Tue, 2007-12-04 15:06. |

Then again, looking at that write-up, I'd say that BBC America has a very different take on Gwen than I do. I mean, I don't think of sensitivity and compassion (or an ability to get the job done) as Gwen's primary traits as much as self-centeredness, general foolishness and a whole lot of blank stares. Ianto is far better at being the Torchwood member with heart. Gwen ... ah, I have no idea what Gwen is supposed to bring to the Torchwood team, anymore.
