| Posted: 26 Aug 2008 09:16 AM CDT Ou est le Mickey Smith et la Martha Jones? Certainly neither is to be seen to date on location for Torchwood Series 3, as shooting of the 5 part adventure serial Children of Earth gets into full swing. It certainly seems as though Noel Clarke's 4th July blog post - which closed with the declaration "Ladies and Gentlemen. Mickey Smith has left the building" - was telling us more than we knew. Children of Earth will star the remaining Torchwood regulars of John Barrowman as Captain...  | ||

| Posted: 26 Aug 2008 05:04 AM CDT The BBC Press Office finally(!) updatedus today on the approaching third season of Torchwood - and there was no mention of either Noel Clarke or Freema Agyeman, suggesting that their characters of Mickey Smith and Martha Jones would not be joining the Torchwood team. It's now understood that the series will star John Barrowman, Eve Myles and Gareth David-Lloyd as the series leads, with Kai Owen and Tom Price both promoted to series regulars. Press release (SPOILERS!): Filming for the third series of the smash hit drama Torchwood, created by Doctor Who writer Russell T Davies, has begun in Cardiff. Due to transmit in 2009 on BBC One, the series – called Torchwood: Children Of Earth – sees the team embarking on a single action-packed adventure as they battle for the future of the human race against the fiercest force they have encountered. The highly-motivated Torchwood team are John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness, Eve Myles as Gwen Cooper and Gareth David-Lloyd as Ianto Jones. Other regular cast involved in their high-octane adventure are Kai Owen as Rhys Williams, Gwen's husband, and Tom Price as PC Andy. Special guests in the five part series are Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who, The Thick Of It, Skins), who plays the role of Mr Frobisher – a civil servant who is hiding a terrible secret; Paul Copely (Coronation Street, The Bill) as Clem – the survivor still haunted by his past; and Liz May Brice (Bad Girls, The Bill) as Johnson – the cynical covert government agent determined to expose Torchwood. Russell T Davies said: "The new series of Torchwood is hugely bold and promises to be bigger and better than ever – the audience is in for an amazing ride. "This series is one big serial and the most ambitious story we've ever made, and we've got plenty of surprises in store." Julie Gardner, Head of Drama, BBC Wales, said: "We hope to make Torchwood a gripping and surprising TV event with storylines that push our team into greater danger and sacrifice. "Joining our main cast are some fantastic guest artists who will only add to making this unmissable TV." The first two series of Torchwood have received global critical acclaim and the hit drama has been sold to more than 20 countries. The second series of the BBC Wales-produced series, broadcast on BBC Two earlier this year, attracted audiences of around 3.4 million, peaking at 4.2 million for the first episode. Including viewers on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer the consolidated audience was 5.1 million. When it launched on BBC Three in October 2006, it attracted the channel's highest viewing figures, with an audience of 2.5 million for the first episode. Torchwood is executive produced by Russell T Davies and Julie Gardner. The producer is Peter Bennett (Doctor Who). Torchwood is written by Russell T Davies, John Fay (Clocking Off, Coronation Street, Mobile) and James Moran (Doctor Who, Torchwood) and directed by Euros Lyn (best director in BAFTA Cymru TV Awards, Doctor Who, George Gently). Torchwood is a BBC Wales for BBC Drama Production and was commissioned by Jane Tranter, BBC Controller of Fiction. More news when we get it!  | ||
