Russell T. Davies’ Emails
From: Mark To: Russell T. Davies CC: Subject: New Torchwood Episode Attachments: tw_episode.zip (148 KB) Russell, Thanks for agreeing to check out my outline of a story for your Torchwood series. I’ve attached a zip containing the episode in Word format and plain text in case you’re one of those crazy anti-Microsoft people. The brief summary is: an American family visiting Stonehenge accidentally discover that the circle is a portal to parallel Earths thanks to an old piece of alien technology in their camper van, one ends up kidnapped by druids, and the Torchwood group investigate. Features chase scene and heart-wrenching decision by Captain Jack at the end because I know you like that sort of thing. Looking forward to hearing how you liked it (or not). Regards, Mark From: Russell T. Davies To: Mark CC: Subject: Re: New Torchwood Episode Hi Mark That’s really well done for a first draft. I’m still reading it now because I cannot change the font size down from 72 pixels in my copy of Word and I have to sit twelve feet from the monitor. A techy person from the BBC is coming over tomorrow to look at it. You have managed to capture most of the personalities really well and I think we’d certainly like to explore fitting your story into the next series. There are a few changes I’d like to suggest if you don’t mind. Some of these changes will be necessary due to other upcoming stories and the surprise in store for the start of season 2 but others are just to flow with the series feel. Can you expand some of the background story around the American family at the start? Try to add some unimportant, real-life sort of scenarios into their trip towards Stonehenge. Perhaps Thomas and Mike could have a lovers quarrel and then make up? Although Gwen and Owen are a couple now they won’t be in the next series (don’t tell anyone ;)). Can you rewrite their scenes as Gwen and Toshiko please. And Toshiko will only have one arm. I think it’s the left one but I’m not sure so try not to be specific. I.e. don’t let her drive or fire catapults. I’m not keen on Jack’s alien contact for details on the device. We’ll be changing his name from Gamma D’Agruz to Omega B’Ahmerz unless you’ve got any objections. There’ll be more once I get to the end of the second act. Thanks again, RTD.

Gia Milinovich
Gia Milinovich (born 11 July, 21 years ago, always 21 years ago) is a television presenter, new media producer, author, multiple world record holder, religious icon, and the only woman in Britain – as of this week – to have her memories stored for later reincarnation. Her mammaries too. She has been leader of the New Ra Movement since 2002 following a bust-up with the Pope and is acknowledged as one of the most powerful voices in European policy-making thanks to a career built on the back of high-profile blackmailing. Contents Family Background Early Life Religion Catholic Faith New Ra Movement Career Technology Family Background Gia was born in Hibbing, Minnesota 21 years ago. Always 21 years ago. As the daughter of former members of the Serbian secret police both she and her family had a great deal of sensitive information on local celebrity Bob Dylan who had toured her ancestral country on numerous occasions and failed to take adequate precautions against bugging devices. The Milinovich family, seeking to distance themselves from their part in unsuccessfully resurrecting the corpse of Hitler (still kept on the living room mantelpiece) and the subsequent tin mine flooding disaster, persuaded Dylan to introduce Gia to his media contacts and Gia’s affair with the world of broadcasting blossomed. Early Life Regular hospital visits during her teen years confirmed that Gia had inherited the Milinovich family traits of: an enlarged brain with fully-intact racial memories, two enlarged bosoms, a third knee, fliptop head. This combination allowed her to learn at a far faster rate than her fellow classmates, excel at kneeling, and get higher marks from the male teachers for some reason. Gia graduated from the University of Minnesota with degrees in all the sciences at age 13. Her high intelligence and keen insight caught the eye of her Biology professor, PZ Myers, who informed the U.S. Military as the terms of his continued freedom dictated. Gia was abducted and experimented upon for a number of years in an attempt to delve into the secrets within her mind. Gia finally escaped with the aid of an interne at the base lab (Sarah Jessica Parker) who helped Gia hide inside a delivery robot. Fearing for her life she made her way to England as navigator on a top secret new type of flying craft. The craft was subsequently hotwired from its landing place in Romford, taken for a joyride, and set alight. Religion Gia’s trauma at the hands of the military probably drove her to find religion when she reached London although she claims to have always been drawn to belief in a deity of some...
Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Baby Photos
All this fuss over Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie having baby pictures. Brad and Angelina with baby picture. Awwww. It’s only recently that Angelina became interested in human babies. Years before she met Brad and had a child with him she was more interested in other sorts of newborns and offspring. In the photo below you can see the beautiful Miss Angelina Jolie with pictures of her various babies. There’s a monkeylet (young monkey), a baby squirrel, and a kitten. And, if you look carefully, two decidedly adult...
Hottest Sci-Fi Babes. Ever!!!!
There comes a time in every man’s life when he sits down and compiles a list of the 10 hottest babes of science fiction. It’s not something we can help and, since it’s a pleasurable experience, it’s not something we care to consider controlling either. For me that time has come now. I’m not the first man to do this and I won’t be the last and I won’t pretend that every other man will agree with this list 100% either. But most will. Because it is that good. 10 Character: LaliariActress: Missi PyleTV Show/Film: Galaxy Quest Oh, that’s not right. But it is. Tentacles. Hot. 9 Character: Princess ArdalaActress: Pamela HensleyTV Show/Film: Buck Rogers In The 25th Century It was very difficult being a woman in the early 80s series of Buck Rogers. How any of them kept from rolling around in hysterics while the corset-wearing, white spandex-apparelled hero tried to hold everything in while sometimes conveying both of his emotions (smiling and not quite smiling) in a single scene beggars belief. Still, the show did feature a string of ladies for Buck to rescue or with whom he could enjoy romantic interludes. Everyone remembers Wilma, of course, but everyone with a functional libido remembers Princess Ardala more. She wasn’t as wet as Wilma, her spaceship was bigger, she was a Princess for freak’s sake. And can anyone say "scantily-clad lust kitten"? Well, I’m thinking it anyway. 8 Character: GuinanActress: Whoopi GoldbergTV Show/Film: Star Trek Hairy girls are not hot despite what the Germans think so it’s a step in the right direction that Whoopi has no eyebrows. More importantly, though, is that Guinan runs a bar. Can you feel your temperature rising? Yes, that’s the alcohol at work. 7 Character: Martian GirlActress: Lisa MarieTV Show/Film: Mars Attacks! What can I say? I like girls with big … hair. Ack ack ack ack ack. 6 Character: LyekkaActress: Louise WischermannTV Show/Film: Lexx Lexx just oozed sexuality so it would be almost impossible to omit it from any list of science fiction babes or hunks. For the ladies there was Stanley Tweedle and for the manlier sex we had a procession of lovelies to salivate over. I could have picked Zev and her blue pubic hair. I could have picked Xev and her lips to die for. But when it comes to selecting the hottest of the hots it simply must be the luscious Lyekka. She’s a man-eating vegetable in nearly anatomically-correct female form. She can’t get pregnant, can handle herself in a fight, and will be happy with an occasional watering and a fresh growbag every now and then....
Munching The Carpet
Okay, I’m just going to float this idea out there, treat you lot like a strange and scary thinktank, see if I get any feedback, see if there’s bits you like and bits you don’t, that sort of thing. Right, here we go: I’m thinking of writing a new series for TV. Cable TV probably, but you never know. So, we’re obviously saturated with "news" programmes and "cartoon" programmes and "home and garden jealousy-creating" programmes and "reality" programmes and "100 Best 100 Best Programmes" programmes but I think we’ve still only dipped a toe in lesbians so far. That sounds bad; I would never dip my toe in a lesbian! Oh, except Jodie Foster if she’s one! Lovely brain. Studied at the Lycée Français de Los Angeles. But yes, "lesbian" programmes are still little more than teens in the adult world of television (and I’m not just saying that so that the words "lesbian" and "teens" (it’s short for "teenagers"!) would appear in this paragraph). Sure, we’ve had "The ‘L’ Word" and there was Ross’ wife in "Friends" and "Ellen", of course, and "Tipping The Velvet" and "The Golden Girls" but I think TV audiences are still clamouring for more "ladies who love to love ladies and the ladies who love being loved by the ladies who love to love ladies" programmes. So, here it is: Munching The Carpet! It’s a drama series, obviously, because your average lesbian woman is female and dramas are right up their alleys if you’ll excuse the imagery. So there’s romance and tension from the word ‘Go’. But your average lesbian is traditionally violent and filled with rage so there’s also action and comedy because these things appeal to testosterone beetles according to science-types. It’s an actionlesbidramady. There’ll be a strong family element to it too because gay families annoy the American Taliban and the old TV adage of "Kontroversy equals Kerching!" holds true to this day. Think "The Sopranos" meets "Charlie’s Angels" and you’re almost there. The characters! We need a core of lesbians doing all the things that lesbians do – constant soapy showers, cheerleading as a hobby, riding horses, that sort of thing – but we need to make them slightly normal too; perhaps give them normal jobs and names to fill out the roles. Make them more human. Straight men will be a big target audience for this programme and we need to push across the idea that inside every lesbian is a bisexual woman willing to have sex with one straight guy and nine of her lesbian swimsuit model friends night-after-night. One of the key locations will be the...
