New Torchwood Still On The Cards

Russell T Davies has said in an interview is this month's Torchwood magazine that it could return for a new series. The show, which sees John Barrowman star as Captain Jack Harkness, looked like it could have ended with the recent 5 part mini-series which ended with fan favourite Ianto killed off, Gwen expecting a baby and Jack beaming up into space.

Russell revealed, "I know exactly how to pick it up. I¹ve got a shape in mind, and I've got stories. I know where you'd find Gwen and Rhys, and their baby, and Jack, and I know how you'd go forward with a new form of Torchwood."

Torchwood Death Threats

Wales Online have reported that death threats have been made to the writers of Torchwood for killing off main character Ianto Jones in the mini-series "Children Of Earth".

A spokesman for the BBC said the strong feelings expressed showed fans’ love of the Ianto character.

“It’s fantastic to see that Torchwood has obviously touched the emotions of so many people, who recognise, as we do, what a wonderful contribution Gareth David-Lloyd as Ianto Jones made to the series,” he said.

“The storyline did highlight the fragility of the Torchwood team and Ianto sacrificed his personal safety for the welfare of the human race.”

Torchwood To Return For Fourth Series?

A Torchwood panel headlined by Russell T. Davies and John Barrowman was the last big event of Comic-Con International this year and gave some good news for fans, the show will return for a full series in 2010.

The week-long mini-series, "Children of Earth," was a huge ratings success in the UK and fared well on BBC American in the US earning it a longer run.

Davies had no news on how many episodes fans could look forward to, while Barrowman offered little insight on how his Captain Jack character would return to the series after his exit at the conclusion of "Children of Earth."

"It's too early," Davies said. "We haven't even sat down for meetings on (the new season) yet."
