Torchwood in Boom Town?

Sleep pattern completely shot so I'm doing my annual (ish) all-nighter, watching Torchwood again. Done that so re-watching the Capt. Jack Dr Who episodes. Hadn't tied it in but the Torchwood lift comes out exactly where they parked the TARDIS. Cool. Combine that with Jack's most treasured possetion being Tennant's hand from Xmas Invasion and you have some very subtle crossovers. I approve.

Ronald Reagan: Genius?

Via [livejournal.com profile] ginasketch and [livejournal.com profile] oldharrysgame, Andy Hamilton describes how things have changed since Drop the Dead Donkey:
DVD Reviewer: Since the original series, has much in the world of politics changed? Are there more or less targets to ridicule these days?

Andy Hamilton: Nothing changes, it just gets worse. The targets get more ridiculous, but also more serious. In 1990 we thought Ronald Reagan was as stupid as any world leader we could ever get – now he looks like a genius.
He's sort of got a point there. Please America, try to elect a non-idiot next time? Please?
