...poof! At midnight, it all vanishes. Like a pumpkin-coach.

Woodie Christmas

Posted: 25 Dec 2007 10:25 AM CST

Anybody who was watching BBC One after tonight's broadcast of the Doctor Who 2007 Christmas Special - "Voyage of the Damned" - will have seen the BBC's first official trailer for season two of Torchwood. The trailer shows Captain Jack returning to the Hub (after the events of Doctor Who season three), Captain John deciding he likes Poodles, and Martha Jones entering the Torchwood base. Exciting stuff!

You can watch the trailer via FreemaAgyeman.com here.

Alternatively there's screencaps here.

From everybody at Torchwood.tv, have a great Christmas Day (what remains of it) and here's hoping that the Christmas holidays are every bit as relaxing as you no doubt deserve them to be!

2008 is almost upon us. January edges closer...

Merry Christmas!
