Torchwood : Dr Who spin-off tribute to Twin Peaks
OK, so this really is Anorak City territory.
But the first episode of the new Torchwood had a hidden nod to Twin Peaks.
In the scene where Rhys was on the phone to Gwen from the street, he was standing in front of a house that was up for sale.
The name of the estate agents on the board? FROST LYNCH.
If you're a Twin Peaks fan you'll recall that the series was written by Mark Frost and David Lynch.
Another entry for the Russell T Davies catalogue of influences.
Meanwhile, here's the trailer for tonight's second episode.

Paul Cole - Paul Cole - Lost, Torchwood, Sci-fi, Dr Who and anything worth getting the Anorak on for
Steve Wollaston - Wookie-loving Star Wars fanatic with a love of all things Dharma and sci-fi. Our resident You-Tube trawler.
Daniel Smith - Would-be scientist who can't add up. Believes Sisko is the best captain and Ronald D Moore is some sort of god.
Scully - Roving geek, with interests ranging from comics and sci fi to genre shows you may not have heard of yet, via John Cena (guilty pleasure). She wants to believe Lost is going to end well, but people do consider her a skeptic...
RTD goes on about influences and nods to other stuff in his book, The Writer's Tale - well worth a look
As soon as I saw that sign in the background during the episode, I had to smile. I'm glad other people caught it and understand the reference.
