I love this last one. The classic Gareth "I'm not gay, me, honest!!" pose. If only he were smoking a fag.
I've not read many reports from said convention, apparently there was some BIG SEKRIT pisstake play put on by the boys about Torchwood and its Gheyness, and apparently nobody is allowed to know about or show or film it or whatever, and it would seem whatever it was that was said has stretched to people not even writing up reports or posting pics, because apart from these, I haven't seen any. WTF, man? I've seen complete filming of other conventions and I really don't think copyright protection or protection of the Beeb's good name is at play here, it just doesn't make any sense. TW's about the crack and the ghey and surely conventions, convention reports and even shaky crappy filmed bits of conventions on YouTube are just more publicity at the end of the day? Why the big whoop made about this particular sketch? THE ACTORS TAKE THE PISS OUT OF THE SHOW. Yah, dudes. That's not big news to me, or anyone else who watches. Honestly. Something's not quite computing here.
Anywho. Yeah, that's Gareth's bum.

Plus, although it was definitely an awesome moment of crack and major gay, it really only lasted fifteen minutes - all in all, I'm not sure I get why the people who were there would make it sound like the Super Sikkrit Best Thing Of The History of Creation. It was tremendous fun, mainly because it went sort of everywhere, but the lets-keep-it-between-the-attendees policy is one I can't find anything nice to say about.

Date: 2008-10-20 11:01 am (UTC)The rule about the play was that the Beeb would get the people involved into trouble if their licenced show was being made fun of publicly by the talent. Showmasters themselves didn't film that bit (not publicly at least, and certainly not for a possible release on DVD).

Date: 2008-10-20 11:04 am (UTC)Yeah, that's the bit I don't get. The talent does that in panels and interviews all the time, so I don't see why the sketch is such a majorly big deal. I think the Beeb have trouble understanding the crack appeal of Torchwood. But then, the BBC made Bonekickers. Go figure.

Date: 2008-10-20 06:27 pm (UTC)JB said please don't film, which I hope people respected, but he also said he didn't mind people taking stills. The organisers however asked everyone to put their cameras down no matter what, since they can't tell who's taking stills and who is filming. Consequentially, I snagged the ones I snagged a bit naughtily, but that's why there aren't many pictures floating about.

I've seen a couple detailed reports of the sketch. Apparently what the big hullaballoo is about is that if there is video of it for some reason there won't be anymore TW conventions. Yeah, no idea why, but apparently that's what's at stake here. I guess they're touchy about it for whatever reason.
