Taken from Digital Spy;

I'd be much happier to hear that a forth season of Doctor Who has been comissioned and that David Tennant would be sticking around but I'll settle with this so far.

The ratings have been good, and overall the reviews have been OK, so why not a second series, it definately won't last as long as Doctor Who, but it'll be around for awhile.

Still I think out of any women who have starred in Doctor Who, I would have chosen Eve Myles as my new Tardis companion, ahead of Freema Agyeman, but I think she will be good as well. Still when Torchwood finishes maybe Eve Myles can transfer over to the Tardis???

I just hope they use the opportunity to pull their finger out and make sure Series 2 has gotten rid of all the crap elements of Series 1....

Oh God, I hope not. I can't stand her.

From the press release:

LOL at the first two. As for unpredictable, I suppose it is, varying from the not bad to bloody awful :lol: Tbh, I find that whole press release a little embarrassing. If the BBC think that that's good drama... :rolleyes:

Ideally I'd love to see it have a complete overhaul, starting with firing Chris Chibnall(?). I was looking forward to it so much and it does have so much potential, I just hope that RTD & co aren't so blinkered that they can't see where there's room for (vast) improvement.

:ermm: there is a few change to make that serie a lot better:

maybe they will be telling less about gwen love life :rolleyes: and more about cardiff aliens underground. i know torchwood is supposed to be protecting earth (or just cardiff and well the countryside) from aliens and i suppose they can't be visiting other worlds unless one of the character is kidnapped :ponder: :shrug: but it could be :lol: .

more about jack past would be great.

and maybe meet one of the other torchwood staff (and what about the missing one ... mentionned in the first episode)

so the "something is moving in the dark and it's coming after you, jack" seem a lot less worrying (unless that's just mean torchwood gonna lost an other character :rolleyes: )

Eve Myles was excellent in the episode the Unquiet Undead, and she wouldn't necessarily have to be Gwen Cooper, but I think she would have acting ability to be the Doctors Companion.

I think the jury is still out on this one, the recent episode 'The Keep KIlling Suzie' was just sublime in my opinion yet this weeks was very poor. I think they do need to hit their stride, but in terms of setting out to be a 'Doctor Who for adults' its done quite well in my books.

Of course its going to have strange corny moments and plot holes just like Doctor Who. In my books it has been a semi-success, especially in viewership, and does deserve a second series, which may yield better episodes.

John Barrowman was on Loose Women today and he mentioned filming is starting for Torchwood in Cardiff on Monday.

Torchwood Secrets To Be Revealed

I love this little exchange from the interview.

digitalspy - Torchwood Spoilers !!!

SPOILERS !

There`s a pic of the cast, casting spoilers and spoilers for some eps of season 2.

I wasn`t fussed about the level of spoilage, but clickers beware and click at your own risk. ;)

Marsters May Return For More ‘Torchwood’

This article contains MINOR SPOILERS for the second season of "Torchwood."

The premiere episode of Torchwood season 2 guest starring James Marsters will air on BBC America January 26 2008.

usually new season of doctor Who or Torchwood are shown in the US after they were show in the UK :o so is it because of james marsters or because of the writers strike? :ponder: :unsure: (because apart repeat of season one on BBC3, no much info about the start of the new season) :ermm:

What possible effect could the writers strike have on BBC America? :unsure:

As for James Marsters I expect most people would think "who's he?"

I reckon Torchwood will inherit Heroes' Wednesday BBC2 spot in a few weeks time.

Immediately followed by "who cares?" :lol: :ph43r:

And anyway, broadcasters in the UK only tend to confirm broadcast dates 2 weeks beforehand

Neither - the BBC said it will start in the new year, so I should expect it at the beginning of January.

Remember, the BBC only confirmed the actual broadcast dates of Series 3 on March 20th - 11 days before it broadcast, and Series 2 was confirmed on March 31st - 15 days before broadcast. With 6 weeks to go before this year even ends, we've got ages to wait.

James Marsters has revealed that he's signed on to appear in future episodes of Torchwood.

I really am going to have to start watching this! :blush:

digitalspy.co.uk

How ? What`s going to be left after the editing ?? :blink:

Oh that should be interesting :lol:.

I think saying its a version for 'Kids' is probably a bit mis-leading it won't be on between the TellyTubbies and Shaun the Sheep on CBBC ( I hope :o ) it will probably just be on between 7:00pm - 9:00pm with the swearing and most gory bits cut out.

:lmao:

So... Captain Jack won`t be using sock puppets ? :unsure:

I, for one, will be disappointed. :snooty:

Seems to be a big Torchwood news day as they gear up to start promoting S2.

The beeb have released
a very spoilery press release (that obviously hasn't been proof read :lol:) complete with new cast photo (which looks a bit odd to me :ermm:).

SFX have also seen 2x01 and have given their verdict. It's pretty spoiler free imo, there aren't plot points there just some casting spoilers which I think everyone knows by now. They seem pretty positive about it :thumbsup:

And the BBC Torchwood site looks like it's going to be S2ified starting tomorrow.

They seemed so adamant on keeping the two universes seperate and saying Torchwood was so they could explore more adult themes that it seems quite a turnaround :shrug:

but would the kid like the more serious jack in torchwood (even if they do cut, they will still have an all business, not time to joke around jack)? :unsure:

It does look very peculiar, in a cut and paste with big scissors sort of way. :blink:

Ooh, and thanks for all the news, Laura. :thumbsup:

The official site has been given a revamp as well complete with that photo that looks like the cast's heads have been pasted onto the bodies. Not much on there just now, just the press release from yesterday and something to say that it'll be getting some more content added soon.

ETA : Digital Spy also has some huge spoilers for S2.

BBC Heroes/Torchwood trail :lol:

Torchwood clips are from S1's TKKS so non-spoilery and the Heroes ones are from an episode quite early in S1 so it's safe to watch.

:lmao: :thumbsup:

:lol: excellent :thumbsup:

This trailer aired on BBC America yesterday for S2. Can't believe they got it before us :rolleyes:

Yes, I have a problem with this very much so. We pay our license fee to fund the BBC and therefore Torchwood, and then BBC America gets to show it to the American audience two weeks after it airs on BBC2.

Whereas we could be waiting up to 6 months for any of the shows that air in America first. I'm hoping BBC America are paying our BBC premium for this.

Are you going to whine about Canada getting Series 1 a little over a week after the UK back in 2005 as well? Or how about The Christmas Invasion being shown the day after the UK?

People have to pay for BBC America as well you know, so they're effectively paying their 'license fee' for it.

If trailers for Torchwood are being shown in the US before the UK, then it's the BBC's fault for not getting off their arse and showing them first.

Thanks for the link, Laura ! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Not too bothered about other countries seeing it first, as long as that means more money for the show makers to keep going. :ponder:

:thumbsup: exciting trailer (not too mention james marsters appearance :rolleyes: )

i think as long the UK show it first, who care how long the USA or any other country show it after :ermm:

I have just noticed the Torchwood website has been given a make over. Shame the content hasn't been updated since the Heroes video. Anyway, the trailer looks good, hopefully it won't be too long before we see it on out screens.

I wouldn't have a problem with it if the license fee didn't keep going up. It seems as though more and more money is being made from selling shows to the United States, and then we have the money made from DVD sales etc.

Really more of the profit made off of this should be going back into funding the BBC. Somehow I just don't think it does. Thats the problem I have with it.

I have no problem if it seems as though a fair deal has been set, but to air something before the BBC has aired it (Extras Christmas Special) or a day after it airs on the BBC, they should be paying a fair amount. But I highly doubt they do.

The US doesn't get the show before us, they just got the trailer. iirc they start showing S2 ten days after we start.


There is an extended version of the trailer that aired after Voyage of the Damned at the beeb site here and it's been confirmed that it will air Wed 16th Jan at 9pm.

Oooh another longer trailer here :thumbsup:. More of the characters that I liked from S1 seem to be getting more screentime from the look of that :thumbsup: Though I am concerned that Ianto calls himself a monster, please don't make him evil :ermm:

I`ve hidden the episode info just in case anyone`s really spoiler-phobic. ;)

It's the same one that's at the beeb that I linked to earlier :)

A wee making of clip over at the beeb complete with John Barrowman doing the Dead Ringers impression of himself :lol:

And some more info on S2 which doesn't tell us anything new tbh but does contain some new pics which can be considered quite spoilery for 2x01.

Gareth David-Lloyd (Ianto) talks S2 to SFX

As does Kai Owen (Rhys).
