Watch Presents a New Torchwood Comic Online
February 13, 2010 by Cynthia
Pontyvale Golf Club’s post-Christmas reopening hasn’t gone well thanks to some grisly killings… The site has been closed off, and Torchwood’s Captain Jack, Gwen and Ianto investigate. But they soon come face to face with the cause of the killings – and it’s not pretty!
It’s an all new Torchwood comic and you can read it online right now at Watch! The comic is part of Alien Invasion Week on the UK network and that means good stuff for all (even us Yanks in the US.) My favorite goodie is a quick interview with John Barrowman where he giggles his way …read more

Barrowman Confirms Torchwood is Coming Back
November 30, 2009 by Cynthia
John Barrowman was a guest on a BBC radio show this morning to promote his new DVD An Evening with John Barrowman. Jumping straight to the big news he said, “Most definitely, Torchwood will come back to the BBC.”
He says that the whens and hows are still being talked about but they’re looking at another 13 episode run, not 5 which is extra great news.
As for appearing with the new Doctor Who, John says it hasn’t been discussed but followed with, “I’m prepared that it won’t happen.”
If you’re a John Barrowman fan, you’ll want to listen to the full interview …read more
John Barrowman Does Single Ladies
November 12, 2009 by Cynthia
Hmmm…that title might not be the best way to word this. . . how about, here’s a fun video of Torchwood star John Barrowman rocking out to Beyonce’s “Single Ladies.” I don’t know if it’s for real or fan made, if you know, let me know — but it’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
Thanks to Small Screen Scoop and my Twitter buddy Jessica Rae for the tip.
Gareth David-Lloyd Answers Your Questions
A few weeks ago, we asked for your questions for Gareth David-Lloyd and now we’ve got his answers. Listen in while Torchwood’s Ianto talks about his character, his band and his interactions with the fans.
Matt asked: Was there a turning point in Torchwood for you? A scene where you felt like you’d hit your stride and really knew who Ianto was?
Gareth: Probably, I’d say, episode 5 of Season 1. It was actually a scene we did after we finished, but we went back to do it because it felt like there was a gap in Ianto’s recovery. There’s a moment …read more

July 9, 2009 by Cynthia
More Torchwood teasers! And a request — the series is already running in the UK, but please be kind to your US neighbors and don’t leave any spoilers in the comments. Thanks!
After you watch the clip, head over to BBC America for a virtual tour of The Hub!
Do You Have a Question for Gareth David-Lloyd?
June 30, 2009 by Cynthia
He’s Torchwood’s primo concierge, providing everything from delicious hot coffee, to Weevil retrieval, to a rousing game of strip hide and seek, if that’s what will help get you through the day. He’s Ianto Jones and despite what he seems to be on the outside, it seems there’s something dark and mysterious beneath that perfect pinstripe suit.
Making Ianto walk and talk is Welsh actor Gareth David-Lloyd and he’s going to join me for a chat tomorrow morning! Late notice, I know, but if you have a burning question to ask Gareth, leave it here in the comments and I’ll do …read more
Russell T Davies: Torchwood Touches a Nerve
June 29, 2009 by Cynthia
“We are coming.”
If you’ve been watching BBC America, you’ve seen the promos for Torchwood: Children of Earth. That chilling voice over — Jack, Gwen and Ianto in a panic state. All those dead eyes staring back at you! It’s Torchwood’s creepiest monsters ever — kids!
“They just touch a nerve,” says Torchwood creator Russell T. Davies. “A threat to our children gets a primal reaction out of all of us. But beyond that, I think we can be scared of our kids, too. That they can seem unknowable, unreachable – that’s why a gang of young hoodies can seem more unnerving …read more
Tonight Doctor Who: The Next Doctor
“From the moment I took over [as the Doctor, the U.K. tabloids] were all saying, ‘Well, who’s going to be next’” in the role, said David Tennant in a phone interview with the Chicago Tribune. “One of the names that always came up was David Morrissey, so it was nice to be able to play with those expectations a little bit.”
In a clever ploy that allowed the series to run for so many years, The Doctor has the ability to regenerate — taking on a new face (as in a new actor) every few seasons. But this time around, it’s …read more
John Barrowman Talks Torchwood: Children of Earth
June 19, 2009 by Cynthia
It’s once more into the breach, as John Barrowman slips into his great coat and takes off after another alien threat in Torchwood: Children of Earth. It’s technically the third season, but this time around it’s merely a five-part mini. Still, John’s excited about bringing Captain Jack back to TV in another thrilling adventure.
Q: How is Torchwood: Children of Earth different from the previous seasons?
Barrowman: This storyline is one of the darker Torchwood storylines. Every time you turn a corner you don’t know what’s going to happen. And when you watch episode one you’re going to want to see two, …read more
