burntcopperNew interview with John Barrowman in Gay Times. I was trepidatious of picking this up, since Gay Times? BORING. Always BORING. Their writers have no... how do I put this... pizzazz. Or possibly it's the editors, editing it down until there's no style left. Because The Economist articles are more interesting to read. Anyway, it was once again unbelievably boring. The article on the Archers' gay couple? Boring. Flat. Yes, there's a reason I'm more likely to pick up Attitude to browse in WHSmiths before my train comes. And yes, I know theoretically they're aimed at different demographics. News for you, Gay Times : the Economist is aimed at a much broader demographic and still manages to be interesting to read.
:deep breath: Anyway. Article didn't tell us much about Torchwood or John we didn't already know, apart from a bit about Dr Who, aside from there will be bisexuality and sex everywhere. Everyone remember Jake, the incredibly cute resistance fighter from the parallel earth of Cybermen, who we all looked at and went 'GAY! MICKEY'S BOYFRIEND! *SO* MICKEY'S BOYFRIEND!' He was supposed to be. :g: Or at least in love with Mickey. They cut it out because, according to Russell : "I hate all these shows which have rubbish gay relationships, and I took another look at the script and realised it was cheap, soapy nonsense. I won't have cheap gay references." My word. Russell, if you cut something out because it was ridiculously soapy, considering what the rest of your episodes were like this season, it must've been *really* soapy.
Off to bank to deposit cheque.

From memory so prob not completely accurate, the lines cut were something like:
Mickey: I'm not here to replace him, you know.
Jake: You could never replace Rickey. He was the best boyfriend I ever had.
Mickey: Definitely not here to replace him...
