Fox to remake Torchwood and possibly Doctor Who in America

Torchwood I can see working in the US even if the idea leaves me cold, they were aiming for a very American feel with COE. Though the whole fact they’re created by the Queen to defend Britain from alien threat kind of knocks that idea upside its head, unless they include the ‘special’ relationship the US and UK have in that. But really the US has it’s own Torchwood, it’s called Fringe ;) Only worry is it’ll now be in the US with no new UK based eps, no Barrowman and no Gwen ;_;

But Doctor Who Americanised? NO! just…bugger off…NO! He’s like Sherlock Homes, a very national institution and I would just HATE that so very much. Feel childish in my dislike for this but he’s as British as Fish and Chips and has been for generations, don’t ruin that lazy US networks, get your own heroes.

I’ve ranted about this before so I’ll shut up now *looks sheepish*

Well I doodled to cheer myself up and this is what I get for drawing when I’m not particularly in much of a drawing mood because things go so off, LOLs at her bad anatomy and just general BAD.


Oh well just read this about the Doctor and Master in a Interview with Russell Davies

“Why doesn’t the Master kill the Doctor?”
“Because he loves him” replies Russell “Honestly I think he does.”
GUH!!!

And had to draw something with them in it, even if the poor Doctor looks a gangly mess ;) I feel like arguing with my style as I’d love to draw a bit more cartoony than I do but *rage* I always have to go into so much detail. Life on Mars drawing coming up next, though they’re right sods to draw ;(

OY.

I see a huge pitfall with remaking Torchwood. I've never seen an episode, but from what I've heard about the relationship between Jack and Ianto? I do believe that would send a great deal of Americans clutching at their pearls and running to the FCC. *eye roll* They can't even handle Adam Lambert, for crying out loud. The environment here is so touchy that they would censor that relationship to the core if it did come out in America--at least if it was on a major network.

I think ever since The Office became such a huge deal that America thinks they can remake everything.

Love the art, BTW, and it reminds me that I HAVE A COPY OF END OF TIME THAT I HAVE NOT WATCHED YET! D: D:

Also...fish and chips mmmmmmm.....

That is very true, if they were to remake it I think they would take Jacks Omnisexual nature out (if Jacks still part of it) in favour of something very watered down. It would suck if they did that because even Doctor Who, a kids show, had Jack kissing the Doctor and that didn't end in riots.

I think the Office is the only remake that did work off the top of my head. I just wish they would show originals and put more effort into advertising them.

My Master icon demands you watch it and his boyfriend the Doctor :) And thank you *hugs* Feel so much better about my doodle knowing people like it ;)

Oh now I'm hungry :)
