Well, we can hope. Davies would probably go that way with it, but if he's jumped ship on Who, maybe he'll do the same for Torchwood and let someone with less of an axe to grind have at it. Personally, if I was more given to fanfic these days, I think I'd probably have a bash at turning that particular 31st Century poly vibe into something workable for a 21st Century audience.
I'd view the Christmas specials like that more if they hadn't got the most recent Companion directly from the second-to-last one. Not that I have any problems with Donna now, you understand (in her way, she's the best of the three), but at the time, I thought she was a whiny co-dependent little pain in the arse. But then, I think I was supposed to think that, so that's okay. And I suppose I'm just a bit of a snob when it comes to that sort of thing - I personally don't care if it's just a ploy to keep interest between seasons; it ought to be the best it can possibly be, in my view. And if I consider it bad at all, I just won't watch it. I don't want to be one of those people (not saying you are, mind) that sits in front of the television with no care what they're watching and still complains that there's nothing good on.
I never saw Press Gang, but I liked what of Coupling I saw. Wasn't Jack Davenport in that? I liked him in Ultraviolet.
