Torchwood 2009 Date Draws Closer (Plus “Waters Of Mars” Preview)
Sci-Fi fans of Britain, your wait is nearly over! With Doctor Who taking something of a hiatus over the Summer, your appetites now rely solely on the five part miniseries of the popular spin-off known as “Torchwood: Children of the Earth”.
Well thankfully the BBC have now released their schedule for week 27, and I’ll give you three guesses as to what has been found on the listings…
That’s right, Torchwood: Children of Earth WILL be broadcast week commencing Saturday 4th July, meaning you only have two weeks before Captain Jack Harkness and what remains of his team combat a sinister new threat!
Check out the official BBC synopsis below, along with a fantastic new trailer AND for extra suspense, I’ve thrown in the preview for the Doctor’s triumphant return coming this November…
Captain Jack Harkness, Gwen Cooper and Ianto Jones (John Barrowman, Eve Myles and Gareth David-Lloyd) return for a new adventure in Torchwood – Children Of Earth, a five-part series for BBC One.
An ordinary day becomes one of terror, as every single child in the world stops. A message is sent to all the governments of Earth: “We are coming.” But, as a trap closes around Captain Jack, the sins of the past are returning and long-forgotten events from 1965 threaten to reveal an awful truth.
Torchwood is forced underground as the government takes swift and brutal action. As members of the team are hunted down, Britain risks becoming a rogue state. Meanwhile, the mysterious and powerful 456 draws ever-closer.
Captain Jack, Gwen and Ianto are helpless as events escalate to such a degree that mankind faces the end of civilisation itself.
John Barrowman plays Captain Jack Harkness; Eve Myles plays Gwen Cooper; and Gareth David-Lloyd plays Ianto Jones. Torchwood also stars Kai Owen as Rhys Williams; Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who, Skins) as John Frobisher; Paul Copley (Coronation Street, The Bill) as Clem; Liz May Brice (Bad Girls, The Bill) as Johnson, Lucy Cohu (Forgiven) as Alice Carter; Nicholas Farrell (Casualty 1909) as Brian Green; Susan Brown (Brideshead Revisited) as Bridget Spears; and Cush Jumbo (Harley Street) as Lois Habiba.
