#he's credited as 'yanto jones' by the way

still making my way through rtd's non-doctor-who work. currently at mine all mine which is from 2004. one character says to another character "you should meet ianto." i (not welsh) (never been to wales) (only know like one welsh person) am like "oh ha ha like ianto from torchwood?" and then immediately shut that down like "ianto is probably a very common welsh name, the fact that my mind immediately goes to ianto from torchwood is just a sign of my ignorance/lack of interaction with welsh people." character shows up to meet ianto.

[image description: a screenshot from the tv show mine all mine. it depicts two young men standing next to each other in a club. one of them is played by gareth-david lloyd. end image description.]

it's ianto from torchwood.

#i told multiple people about this on discord but i'm still having the moment about it so i think tumblr needs to know too #torchwood #russell t davies #mine all mine #he's credited as 'yanto jones' by the way #i know rtd recycles names a lot (there are a LOT of tylers across these shows too) but this feels excessive
