We're still in New Haven, but I laughed myself silly at the trailer for A Very British Cover-Up so if you haven't seen it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dfsTYEwtqo

(this is probably not actually interesting to non-Torchwood peeps. At least, not in the same way).

That's going to be really funny, by the look of the preview. And GDL's versatility is blowing me away: Ianto, this character, and the one in Girl No. 9 could not be more different personas. I hope influential people will see him and be impressed; he deserves a great career. Thanks for posting this.

They're all on on a spectrum that makes sense to me, but I totally agree. He's the type of performer who makes me want to be in casting, because he's the type of thing you pray to stumble upon and hope to hell you can sell other people on. Cool stuff.

I think I just strained something laughing. Oh, my god, GDL.

NObody does snarky better than GLD, nobody (salvation armani dress).

OH GDL.

The kiss-curl looks good on him, though.

Doesn't it? It's yet another "why are you so good looking? you shouldn't be, but you bloody are" moment.

I laughed out loud.
He's so effing... Welsh.
And camp.
And loud.
And cute!

Despite the salvation army Armani!, YES! Dying to see this!

Wow... that actually looks pretty good!

I was sort of expecting it to suck but I'm sold!

And I am so adopting "salvation Armani" for myself as it accurately describes nine-tenths of my wardrobe.

My wardrobe would like to thank all of the rich people for buying more clothes than they can ever possibly wear and donating the overflow to Goodwill for the tax break! ;-D

I think this just nailed several of my buttons all at once. It's uncanny.

You don't want to know how many times I watched this trailer or how adorable I think he is in it. I am ASHAMED.

Whereas I'm like, "Holy shit, this wants so badly to be with the rest of my queer-ass DVDs..."

Because holy crap, Gareth. Holy crap, drag movie. It's the bridge between my copy of the original La Cage film and my Torchwood collection.

I'm-a just roll around in this for a few hours.

I know I really want to see the thing, but as it's a short, I've no idea how that's going to happen, but I'm sure it will surface somewhere or other eventually.

I'd be inclined to say the community will Find A Way. Also, if the production folks have Facebookery, or what have you, they may be up for helping make it happen. I know of at least one filmmaker who was quietly sending DVDs to folks while he was trying to secure Actual Distribution, as it were.

Yeah. Parts of fandom may have been more than a bit awful in response to CoE, but hey, harness this power for good!
