Torchwood news

The next series, to be made next year, will have an LA setting amongst other things...

This is either going to be very good or very, very bad.

I wonder if the new Torchwood will still be canon to the Who-verse, what with the US network being in charge of it, and possibly pushing for things that aren't very Who-esque...

Oh dear I'm scared

GOK. Remember that the whole Whoverse has rebooted, they may decide to go with iDaleks etc...

The idea of Gwen & Rhys as Mr. and Mrs. Smith (or possibly Undercover Blues) does have a certain charm.

Same here, but we might get lucky.

There was quite a lot of discussion of it over the WriterConUK weekend. Rumour had it that the new agents include a paedophile and his handler. No-one was at all hopeful that it would be good....

And yet the line about Gwen holding a gun in one hand and a baby in the other fills me with dread. Adding a baby to the cast, the surest sign of shark jumpage there is...

I must admit I have my doubts as well, just because of the drop in quality of RTDs writing of late... I'm astonished it got greenlight by Starz. Particularly with Gwen in a starring role.

Torchwood is a purely British organization. At least in canon. The USA would take a VERY dim view of such an org working in the USA.
