Torchwood Season 2: January 16th

[SiHart]

From OG:

The BBC has begun running trailers confirming that Torchwood will return for its second series on BBC2 on Wednesday 16th January 2008.

The series will first be shown in a post watershed slot and then repeated later in the week in a specially edited version suitable for pre-watershed transmission.

Press Release: Season Two

The second series of Torchwood, the award-winning drama created by Doctor Who writer Russell T Davies, premières on BBC Two. This time it's bigger and bolder, with more fun, adventure and excitement for the alien-fighting team.

John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness, Eve Myles as Gwen, Burn Gorman as Owen, Naoko Mori as Toshiko and Gareth David-Lloyd as Ianto return as the investigators delving into the alien underworld of modern-day Cardiff.

In the first episode of the series, Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, by co-producer and lead writer Chris Chibnall, Captain Jack is reunited with the Torchwood team as they face a rogue Time Agent. The mysterious Captain John Hart, played by James Marsters (Buffy The Vampire Slayer), is determined to wreak havoc, and needs to find something hidden on Earth. But with Gwen's life in danger, and cluster bombs scattered across the city, whose side is Jack on?

During the 13-part series, Torchwood's investigations into alien activity give the team glimpses of the 51st century and the First World War. In future episodes they encounter alien sleeper cells; save a stranded creature from human exploitation; meet a tragic soldier from the First World War; and encounter a memory thief who exposes long-forgotten secrets among the entire team.

Later in the run, Alan Dale (Ugly Betty, The O.C.) makes a star appearance. Another familiar face among the special guest stars is Doctor Who's companion Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman), who appears half way through the series. Richard Briers, Nerys Hughes and Ruth Jones (Gavin And Stacey) also appear in various roles.

There is a specially edited pre-watershed repeat of Torchwood on BBC Two later in the week.

Following on from that, Torchwood Declassified goes exclusively backstage to reveal the secrets behind some of the first episode's sensational stunt sequences and talks to John Barrowman, James Marsters and Russell T Davies.

I caught the tailer earlier. Not bad, but not long enough for me to get a feel for the season.

[enzo1701]

I see Wikipedia has got some of the episode titles for the new season too.

But as it's Wikipedia, they could be way off the mark.

There's a one minute trailer kicking about as well. Saw it on BBC Three last night.

OBVIOUSLY CONTAINS SPOILERS!

Oh dear.

[Milky Tears]

I'm still trying to work out what accent Marrrrsterrrrsss is meant to be doing. I can't understand a single word he says!

[Andrew Curnow]

I'm really rather excited about this. And my DW fanboy is, of course, by the phrases 'Time Agent' and '51st Century' appearing in the same press release.

[P-Bal]

I am most excited by the appearance of burnt crimson and dark scarlett colours in the new costumes.

[Rob McCow]

This is probably going to be the best second season of any Doctor Who spin-off to date!

Perhaps I should catch up with the season 1 episodes I missed before this starts.

well from what i've seen of the trailer season 2 looks like being a lot better then series 1.

[FlyingBeastie]

Not that most people know him, but Bryan Dick of Master & Commander (and more recently starred in the ITV comedy/drama "Sold", alongside Carriaknight Christina Cole) fame, is going to be in Torchwood. They don't have it up in imdb or anywhere else, but he pops up as clear as day in the trailer.

(Clap icon only cos' there isn't a tap dancing one )

He's a really good actor, I'm wondering what part he's gonna' play in the show that has him jumping up against bulletproof glass...

[Pip Madeley]

I've just watched the first few minutes on YouTube (official BBC preview) - Jack makes a great entrance

[Dirk Gently]

"Did you miss me kids?"

[enzo1701]

I loved the "Excuse me, have you seen a blow fish in a sports car?" line

[Rob McCow]

Yay! It's on tomorrow night!

[cyberchris35]

Another reason I can't wait for tomorrow night is that on the Torchwood website you can join Torchwood and help out on missions, the first one is at 22.00 after the episode.

[Rob McCow]

Just so long as I don't have to help them with those Welsh cannibals. Or the Cyberwoman in the basement. Or the orgasm beast. Apart from that, I'll have to check it out

BTW what time is it on?

[SiHart]

9pm dear.

Looks like Eve Myles (or possibly Naoko Mori) will be appearing on Breakfast tomorrow morning.

Sian just said "we're going to be talking to the actress from Torchwood" (narrows it down!) at the end of today's show!? Should be on sometime between 8:45-9:15am... unless it's a pre-recorded location thingy. Sounds like it's a sofa job.

Might also be worth checking out GMTV's "Pick of the Day" segment (plus Friday's Entertainment Today), This Morning, Titchmarsh, Loose Women and Richard & judy over the next few days.

Sounds like Hell's TV.

Visiting the Loose Women website is the saddest thing I've ever done.

Thursday 17th January
Andrea McLean, Sherrie Hewson, Carol McGiffin and Jane McDonald chat about the latest stories hitting the headlines. Torchwood actress Eve Myles takes to the hot seat.

[Pip Madeley]

Eve must be doing the rounds then.

[Milky Tears]

Will we just wait for Tim to post the smutty gag?

[Rob McCow]

Sian just said "we're going to be talking to the actress from Torchwood" (narrows it down!)

That could still be Barrowman.

Visiting the Loose Women website is the saddest thing I've ever done.

I doubt it, Morbius!

[Simon R]

It's a real shame no one has new hair for the new series.

It's a tradition!
