First episode as in the first season or the second season?

 

another channel (Decent one this time, ABC, they also have Dr Who) just got the rights to it in Australia and are playing from the very start because the other channel just kept changing time slots and dropped it without showing the whole season.

From Australian Press Pack

Day 1 – Tuesday July 7 at 8:30pm

Captain Jack Harkness, Gwen Cooper and Ianto Jones return for a new adventure in Torchwood:

Children Of Earth, a five‐part series for BBC One, fast‐tracked to UKTV.

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.

I watched it and wondered if coming to work today to a school full of kids would be a good idea!:scared:

I'll be watching it tonight though! :behindsofa:

I'm amazed that someone hasn't commented on the Civil Service's rubbish idea of a secure password!

 

I was generally (surprisingly) impressed, but I'd be amazed if Captain Jack doesn't survive. Hitherto unmentioned local teleport device has 'ported the device out of him?

Of course he survives - he's 'The face of Bo'

 

Tut! :D

think the preview made it obvious he does.

Call us sad, but Mme LeMarchand and I quickly turn the sound down and avert our eyes when "next time on..." comes up. We know when we want to watch the next ep of any given show, and don't want any spoilers. (But still want to see the credits, which I wish they'd show before the preview).

quote from [ame=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_of_Boe]Face of Boe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]

 

 

Possible origin

 

In the episode "Last of the Time Lords", the immortal time traveller Captain Jack Harkness expresses concern about how he might look if he lives "for a million years", because although he can't die, he is still aging, albeit slowly. He tells the Doctor and Martha Jones that it's a matter of vanity, because he "used to be a poster boy when [he] was a kid in the Boeshane Peninsula", as "the first one ever to be signed up for the Time Agency," earning him the name "the Face of Boe". This astonishes Martha and the skeptical Doctor.

 

Writer Russell T Davies, in the episode's commentary, called the implication of this scene "a theory" as to the Face of Boe's origins, prompting Executive Producer Julie Gardner to urge him to "stop back-pedalling" about the two characters being the same. Davies also said that after writing the scene he inserted a line in the ADR recording for "Gridlock" in which the Face of Boe calls the Doctor "old friend".[1]

 

Gardner also stated outright at the 2008 San Diego Comic Con that the Face of Boe was Jack Harkness. Similarly, Torchwood Declassified for Torchwood Series 2 has John Barrowman, David Tennant, and Russell T Davies explicitly stating that the Face of Boe is Jack Harkness.

Does anyone know when season 5 of Doctor Who starts (on BBC)?

 

I'm a great fan of the Doctor, but here in the Netherlands only season 3 is aired on the SciFi Channel (just as last year :getmecoat:)

It just occured to me with their ability to get kids to stand still and shut-up the 456 would be great for school discipline.

 

But what about the teachers that run around screaming? :D

The picture on BBC HD is fantastic. I've never seen Eve Miles looking so sexy and boy is she sexy. Beats Martha Jones (who is also great in HD!!!)

 

Sorry - got carried away there.

I've never watched Torchwood before but this mini-series is fantastic! Tense, emotional and genuinely scary! It's what the BBC should be about!
