More on Torchwood Season Three

Here is some new, confirmed information about the third season/series from the official Torchwood Magazine:

Torchwood executive producer Julie Gardner has confirmed that a third series of Torchwood will start filming in August. The new series will comprise one continuous story told over five one-hour episodes on BBC1, with episodes by Russell T. Davies and other as yet unnamed writers. Though our new issue had just gone to press just before the new series was announced, we got straight on the phone to Julie, who told us:

“As you know, plans for a third series have been underway for a long time, and we now have a new producer and a new director in place, as well as brand new scripts all ready to go. It’s the longest and most ambitious story we have ever made, so be prepared for some shocks and surprises! Life at Torchwood is never quiet or easy, and the whole of Captain Jack's world is about to be turned upside down!”

I am not too thrilled to hear RTD is writing an episode, but I imagine his participation means the five episode arc will be the culmination of his plan arc from the beginning. It was mentioned last season a Torchwood team from Scotland had gone missing. The Doctor Who third season finale hinted Jack Harkness will eventually become the Face of Boe. Either or both plot elements may appear in this "epic" adventure. It is going to have to be memorable with only five episodes shown over a five night period.

Were you disappointed by the second season finale of Torchwood? Guess who else was? That is right--Hitler.
Old Adolf has a point about Mickey being a poor substitute of Tosh. I would rather see that Scottish doctor Martha is engaged to join up instead. He did get get enough screen time in "Last of the Time Lords," but I bet he would be great.
