Okay, so there can't be many people who don't know that the new Torchwood season starts next Monday, 6th July at 21:00 on BBC One and runs over five consecutive nights.This is what John Barrowman has to say:
"The third season will be as action packed and as sexy as ever, but it will also be far more darker than any of the previous shows."
"We know what Torchwood is and we know what it’s about – it’s full of drama and action."
"This storyline is one of the darker Torchwood storylines. Every time you turn a corner you don’t know what’s going to happen. And when you watch episode one you’re going to want to see two, and when you’ve seen two you’ll want to see three. You’re just going to want more and more and more."
"You’ll learn a lot about the characters in ways that you’ve never known them before. If you like relationships then you’re going to see the difference in Jack and Ianto’s relationship and Gwen and Rhys’s – but you’re also going to see the similarities."
"The characters have evolved in ways because we’re learning new things about them. It makes it really interesting for us to play as actors, and for the audience every episode will bring a new revelation."
"I think the one storyline works perfectly for this series – it’s epic, it is pacy."
"One of the team is hiding a secret that will be a revelation to a lot of people – not only to the viewers watching but to the team itself. It will be very uncomfortable for the characters. And people watching it will question why they did it. Will they be able to understand why they did it?"
"But, as in all things with science fiction, as a series, we can touch on subjects that are not touched upon in a number of other dramas."
"Anything that involves children doing stuff they are not supposed to be doing is creepy. I let my parents watch episode one and two with me, and watched their reaction. Normally they would get up during a show and have a drink or go to the bathroom, but they didn’t move. My mum and dad – who are my biggest critics – were glued to the screen."
"We finished watching it and the following morning my dad turned to me and said: 'When are we watching three?' If they don't like something I do then they will say it. They absolutely loved this."
Sounds great doesn't it? I can't wait to see it, but in the meantime, what some of you may not know is that starting tomorrow - Wednesday, 1st July - there will be three Torchwood radio plays all with John Barrowman, Eve Myles and Gareth David-Lloyd as Captain Jack, Gwen and Ianto, broadcast over three consecutive afternoons between 14:15 - 15:00 on BBC Radio 4.
Here's the schedule:
