Russell's tasteful acceptance speech at SFX.

ETA the speech for those of you who don't like clicking links:

"Hello SFX, it's Russell T Davies here, I'll just dictate this on to your answerphone. Thanks very much to everyone who voted, and I'd also like to thank... Oh, hold on. Sorry. No, I'm busy, I'm on the phone to SFX. It's a magazine. No wonder you haven't heard of it, it's a specialist magazine. For special people. Yes, with special needs. They've given Torchwood a prize for Best TV Episode. No, stop laughing, they have. No, they really have. Honestly, stop laughing. I'm not kidding, seriously, stop laughing, now. No, it's not the Comedy Awards. Which episode? Day 5. No, not Day 4. No, definitely not Day 4. I didn't write Day 4. I don't f**king care what you think, Day 4 didn't win, okay? And no, he's not coming back to life, so forget it! You're no longer playing Ianto, you're my houseboy, so accept it, okay? Anyway. Yeah, thanks SFX, and thanks to the magnificent cast and crew, and to BBC One for their support. I'm really delighted and honoured that people made the effort to vote for this, so thank you hugely. Hold on. You missed a bit, Gareth, over there, that's it, bend over. Bye. Click. Brrrr."

Hey, I don't really care what anyone else thinks, I think Rusty's a huge skeeve. Seriously, yeah, of course I lolled (briefly), but no, man, if Gareth was a chick and Rusty was Moffat you'd be all over this fucking shit. It's skanky sexual innuendo by a big-time producer about a young actor. It's not witty, and it's not clever. I don't think GDL's crying quietly in a corner about it, he's a big boy, but still. Point still stands.

My main beef with this is: why does he keep feeling the need to poke this fannish shit? Let it lie already, Russell.

I think GDL should go to one of those no win no fee lawyers and sue him big time. That would be superb and RTD is so rich that it would help GDL fund the film.

See problem solved.

There's loads of adverts on telly for those kind of "lawyers"

Have you been libeled and/or defamed by a famous and supremely talented writer? Have you been treated as purely a sexual object? Have your sublime and subtle talents as an actor been disregarded because you're cute? Then call us NOW! 0800 SUE RTD. Operators are standing by.

Ooh I think that's very creative. God wouldn't it just be divine justice. I think GDL would have a case and it's probably good publicity. You only need to bring in the stuff in the RTD book, then this speech, you have the beginnings of a case. With the fact that he wrote this stuff down, and said it, I can't believe he never harrassed GDL in person, even as a "joke".

I want a Russell Brand style controversy against RTD>

Brilliant idea. They do have another goal coming up...
