Oh dear the dodgy script unit was working overtime.

Giant self repairing and constantly growing whale type creature 
amazingly put into a warehouse by a few yobs. Who decide not to sell the 
story to the Sun, but to instead chop it up as an everlasting supply of 
McBurgers.

Even Sylvester McCoy would have thought that one was a bit dodgy :-)

Come on RTD, in America you'd have to come up with 22 good episodes of 
TV every year or get your series canned. The BBC are letting you off 
light, so please come up with stories that don't seem totally ludicrous 
!!

That was a lot easier to swallow (no pun intended) than the idea of a member 
of special ops dragging her other half onto the job, especially when they 
had an amnesia pill they could have dosed him with at  any point before his 
involvement got any further. It was more laughable than Carnival of Monsters 
but not quite as bad as Evoloution of the Daleks. I kept thinking "any 
minute now Gwen will wake up and realise it was all a bad dream".

I have a vision of Sir John Barrowman sitting in a chat show 20 years 
from now and reminiscing about Torchwood, and saying. "Do you remember 
that awful alien whale episode ?" And the whole audience falling about 
with laughter.

It was bad on an industrial level of badness. it could bad for England 
!!

I honestly thought this was going to turn out to be spoof episode as I can't 
imagine anyone taking it seriously. It's as if somebody got the scripts for 
the latest series of  Two Pints of Lager and Torchwood mixed up. Does 
anybody actually view these programmes before they air and work out "is this 
one meant to be a comedy?", "is this one meant to be a drama?" Come back Jon 
Pertwee, all is forgiven (except for Worzel Gummidge).
