Torchwood will debut on BBC Three late next year. Created by Russell T Davies it stars John Barrowman as Captain Jack.
"Torchwood will be a dark, clever, wild, sexy, British crime/sci-fi paranoid thriller cop show with a sense of humour - the X Files meets This Life," says Russell T Davies.
"It's a renegade bunch of investigators charged by the British government to find alien technology that has fallen to Earth," BBC Three controller Stuart Murphy told The Independent.
The show will be set in Cardiff, and will be 13 45-minute episodes, transmitting between series of Doctor Who. Confirmed writers include Sapphire and Steel creator PJ Hammond

I saw the ads too, looks promising. I think it'll be around Halloween and run till Xmas to warm up for Dr Who.
saw another ad tonight, it starts 22nd October but I dont know what time 
did you see it??
what did you think?
too light in humour? or too dark for your liking? or is it a Doctor Who wannabe?
let us know your views please
it is also showing on beeb 2 for those who are not yet digital

I thought it was good humour, style and sci-fi. Very derivative though. Thinking X-Files, Buffy, Angel but thats not a bad thing. Cardiff looked great too. Will have to look for that lift next time I'm shopping there.
Ok, episode 3 was pretty good. No swearing or sex this time 
so it played like an episode of Dr Who. A machine that can see into the past and future. Nicely done. I like this series.

Have a chat with your parole officer mate
I'm liking it so far
Last nights was good again. Cyber girl and all that. Was quite bloody too.
Well, I enjoyed last nights episode on 2. Bit more info about Jack and glad to see my prejudices about the Shee make it as far as mainstream entertainment.

Well, we enjoyed that. Wish Ianto would get a life tho. Had a couple of 'Helms Deep' moments during it, but hey it's created whole new career opportunities for frothing OTT Welsh Actors look you see.

It was quite good. I liked the 'cross time' elements of the story. The girl who used to be in Eastenders and that comedy program with Richard (power to the people)Lyndsey was quite hot 
Nice to have yet a bit more info about Jack revealed. "Like trying to read the mind of a zombie" and "What are you ?" " I don't know".
My daughter was working on the theory that he was affected when Rose took on the Timestream (or something like that) but it's obvious that his 'peculiarities' had their origins before that.
I'd like to see some action from UNIT tho, possibly in a supporting role. Maybe even a visit off the Doc himself.

Barrowman, however, has confirmed that he has signed on to return as Jack for Series 3.[3] The official Doctor Who website at bbc.co.uk announced on August 10, 2006 that this appearance would come in the series finale, [4] and Davies told Doctor Who Magazine that Jack will appear in "multiple episodes" in the second half of the series.[5] Barrowman revealed that he would appear in three of the final four episodes of the third season in a yet-to-be-disclosed storyline, and that he would be the only actor from "Torchwood" to cross over into "Doctor Who.
great stuff!
bit like when Buffy/Angel/Spike/Willow crossed over in to Buffy and Angel TV series
The Doc and Jack.....both delicious young men

OMG! how blooming good was the Torchwood finale?!!!
I cried I laughed I cried again
and at the end I cheered, when Gwen says to Jack what vision would have made you change your mind, and then Jack says a very good doctor and then the TARDIS noise started and all the paper got blown around the room, and then Jack was gone! I was jumping around like a little jumping thing!
an idea of things to come maybe?? lets hope so

Oooo, I dont know
I did see on one of the torchwood trailers that Martha from Doc Who is appearing
it annoys me a little that such a cacking programme like Torchwood is still only being shown on BBC2, IMHO it should be on beeb1!!!
