What a brilliant storyline to kick off the new series of torchwood.
All over the world people have stopped dying. No matter what happens to them - impaling, electrocution, lethal injection - they're all surviving. The only apparent exception, ironically is John Barrowman's ''indestructible'' Captain Jack who's started showing signs he might actually peg it, possible as some kind of divine retribution for Tonight's The Night. What a blow that would be.
But don't let's go over-praising the writers here. Because you realise the whole idea is nicked? Stolen from Coronation Street, that is. Yep, Corrie's been doing the whole un-dead for about a year now. Think about it.
Did anyone actually see psycho Tony Gordon fatally frazzle in that fire last summer? Exactly.
And what about barmy John Stape plunging from that hospital roof and seemingly walk away?
And if you still don't believe me - What about Leanne's condition after falling down the stairs Friday night (15/7/2011)? ''Just a few bruises,'' she told Peter.
See what I'm getting at? As ever, if there's a clever story idea to be had the mighty corrie gets there first. Don't be surprised if Maria's hit and run victim hubby Liam strolls into the rovers next week. Albeit probably in instalments.
