      On IMDB, they're all credited so far for five episodes. So I don't know if you should trust that.

            Cardiff is indeed a compact place - but, as you say, not compact enough to enable people to run between places without apparent effort like Gwen managed to do when she covered the distance between the High Street and City Hall in less than ten seconds. Okay it was an edit, but these two locations are a good half mile apart - and she was barely puffed despite running at full tilt! No wonder they want her at Torchwood; she's really a superhero!

            As Shep'sSocks has kindly demonstrated for us (you walked to the Bay? Why not use the number 6 bendy bus like unfit, lazy Unases do? ), Torchwood would only be central to everything if you wanted to eat in a different restaurant every night for a month and live in an incredibly expensive yuppie flat with walls thinner than a sheet of loo roll (or you happen to be an Assembly Member). The City is about two or three miles north of The Bay.

            Of course, this is 'TV' Cardiff, not 'Real' Cardiff - so distances are a probably bit meaningless; not to mention people are able to see through buildings with extra eyes in the backs of their heads. That's the only way that Gwen and Boyfriend could possibly have stood at the bottom end of St Mary Street staring southwards in astonishment as a fireball streaked northwards over the Friary. Oh - wait. It was an edit, wasn't it? D'oh...

            I'm still wondering whether or not to forgive the makers for that Aerial shot of Brunel House - maybe they were hoping for a nice little piece in the Echo with someone from Visit Wales going on about Torchwood being good for Cardiff Tourism in return for a funky shot of their office block.

            If they were - they did.

              Me. Maybe it is a nod to the great Douglas Adams, as he used to write for Dr Who

                Yes! I was sat there thinking about the NIMBY effect (Not In My Back Yard)!

                  I don't know if this has already been brought up in this thread yet, but is there anyone else who cant stand Gwen's GAPING HOLE between her front two teeth?

                  It's driving me batty.

                    I was with a local who said, "It's not far to the bay. Let's walk!" I didn't mind the walkies bit but could have done without the creepy high rises. On the way back I made her walk past the yuppy high rises instead. Yes, we walked back.

                    What I'd like to see is a shot of the house on Cowbridge Road East that Ivor Novello was born in. Used to pass it on the bus on the way to my friend's house. That would be cool.

                      No, she's on the Torchwood website too, and was credited as a regular in the credits (I think) it was all to catch us off guard. Joss Whedon did it for Buffy a couple of times too, it never ceases to shock me
                      Equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women. And the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who is confronted with it.

                        I, alas, have to admit that I didn't; but, now that you mention it - it's a very good point. I like it!

                        Suzie also got a full profile in the Radio Times's pre-series hype. It'll be interesting to see whether she returns or whether this was indeed a 'shock exit' thing.

                          She was on the end-of-episode credits for Day One as well.

                            That might have been a contractual thing, or they were allowed to so they didn't have to redo the credits. (Even though that would take them a few secs >.>).

                            This is slightly off topic but I have a question for Cardiff residents/people who have been there/going there etc. I was wondering if any of you had pictures you wouldn't mind sharing/giving? I'd give the entire discription of how this is ontopic, but, I don't want to clog up the thread with promo/explination. *L*

                              I thought those credits were joint ones used, Im sure I saw cast lists headed by the episode titles
