Barrowman to Return to Torchwood Mini-Series
Saturday, June 7th, 2008
Following up on a report here, Torchwood will indeed be returning for a third, but very brief, season with series star John Barrowman (pictured) in command.
But, executive producer Julie Gardner announced that the third season will include just five episodes — most likely to air all in one week as an event mini-series. In keeping with that event label, Torchwood will graduate up to flagship network BBC1.
Gardner claims the move was made in an attempt to make a huge media splash with the show’s third season. The decision to cut down production to just this special event echoes what Torchwood’s original inspiration, Doctor Who, is doing on BBC1 in 2009. Who will be taking a partial hiatus, producing a set of specials to air sporadically during the year, before returning for a full series under new showrunner Steven Moffatt in 2010.
Season three of Torchwood will start filming in August, but there is still no set word if show creator Russell T. Davies will be back, since he already announced his departure as Doctor Who executive producer.

Torchwood Back for Season 3
Saturday, June 7th, 2008
Torchwood, the popular Doctor Who spin-off (and anagram), will return for a third season, according to the BBC. Characters played by series regulars Burn Gorman and Naoko Mori died during the second season finale — the last, dark touch on a year that saw the series grow more gritty and intense.
John Barrowman (Captain Jack Harkness) is confirmed to return for the third run. But, there’s no certain word yet on whether executive producer Russell T. Davies will be back. Davies is already stepping aside from his Doctor Who captaincy — handing the wheel over to Steven Moffat in 2009. While his supervision of Torchwood has been more distant, he has yet to announce if he’s leaving the sci-fi realm completely.

James Marsters (‘Torchwood’)
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008
As the megalomaniac, pansexual Time Agent Captain John Harper, James Marsters has been a welcome addition to Torchwood’s much-improved second season. So far Captain John has been unsucessful in his attempts to bump off the team, despite having posioned Gwen, pushed Jack off the top of a building, and blown up a warehouse with them all inside. But with a truly devastating finale set for this Friday, will Captain John finally get his way? DS speaks to the cult legend Marsters to find out.
Let’s start by talking about Torchwood…
“That show is the best. I love that show! That show’s pissing all the right people off, I love it.”
What do you mean by that?
I’m sure in the UK it is accepted for what it is more, but in Mexico and in the United States, there’s a good streak of homophobia. A lot of characters are unabashedly bisexual in Torchwood; in fact my character’s way beyond bisexual, my character will do anything that has a hole! I used to do lots of plays that could piss people off for the right reason and Torchwood’s found a way to do that.”
Is that what attracted you to the part?
“No, I wasn’t aware of the backlash at the time. I was just attracted to a really good script and a really fun character. I love playing people who are evil, don’t care, and have no guilt. A friend told me to watch Doctor Who and I thought ‘this is really fabulous actually’. We called Russell [T Davies] and asked him if I could be on Doctor Who and he said ‘no’, but that I should come over and be part of Torchwood instead.”
