The lunch was a great success with Her Majesty seeming to enjoy the rather different experience of being able to order from a menu. Regimental Remembrance Day took place on Sunday 21st May and was attended by The Colonel. The Guards Chapel was full and The Colonel spoke to a large number of people both after the Service and after laying the wreath at the Guards’ Memorial. 1 www.grengds.com Once a Grenadier Always a Grenadier No one can have missed the announcement that, after 65 years of loyal service, The Colonel would retire from carrying out royal engagements. This does not mean that he is stepping down as Colonel! He has said that he is very happy to continue for the moment and already has the November Council meeting firmly in his diary; however, it does mean that he will only carry out very ‘light duties’.

  • “My” Hero Or Epic Fail? Torchwood As Transnational Telefantasy
    “My” Hero or Epic Fail? Torchwood as Transnational Telefantasy Melissa Beattie1 Recibido: 2016-09-19 Aprobado por pares: 2017-02-17 Enviado a pares: 2016-09-19 Aceptado: 2017-03-23 DOI: 10.5294/pacla.2017.20.3.7 Para citar este artículo / to reference this article / para citar este artigo Beattie, M. (2017). “My” hero or epic fail? Torchwood as transnational telefantasy. Palabra Clave, 20(3), 722-762. DOI: 10.5294/pacla.2017.20.3.7 Abstract Telefantasy series Torchwood (2006–2011, multiple production partners) was industrially and paratextually positioned as being Welsh, despite its frequent status as an international co-production. When, for series 4 (sub- titled Miracle Day, much as the miniseries produced as series 3 was subti- tled Children of Earth), the production (and diegesis) moved primarily to the United States as a co-production between BBC Worldwide and Amer- ican premium cable broadcaster Starz, fan response was negative from the announcement, with the series being termed Americanised in popular and academic discourse. This study, drawn from my doctoral research, which interrogates all of these assumptions via textual, industrial/contextual and audience analysis focusing upon ideological, aesthetic and interpretations of national identity representation, focuses upon the interactions between fan cultural capital and national cultural capital and how those interactions impact others of the myriad of reasons why the (re)glocalisation failed. It finds that, in part due to the competing public service and commercial ide- ologies of the BBC, Torchwood was a glocalised text from the beginning, de- spite its positioning as Welsh, which then became glocalised again in series 4.
