tencrushRussell'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.

Date: 2010-02-08 02:01 pm (UTC)I wonder what the reaction in the room was, when it was read out? There would have been a few fans there, as GDL was making an appearance.
I'm sure it was for the lulz, but he does like to poke the hornets nest. Do you think he has a bet on with someone to see how much aggro he can cause? Or does he just sit there hunched over the interwebs, rubbing his hands together with glee, as fandom assplodes.
Yep - he's skeevy in that "predatory older homosexual" way that we used to get warned about. Way to go Rusty, live up to that outmoded cliche.
I suspect that GDL is slowly washing his hands of TW/CoE - http://www.garethdavid-lloyd.co.uk/qa.html - check out his answer to Q2 of the January 2010 Q&A.
If I were GDL, I'd be insulted for about a minute, and then think "tosser" and then get on with my life.

He was brilliant in The Bill episode - creepy, vulnerable and crazy.
