Want to find out a little bit more about Torchwood: Miracle Day, and Russell T Davies’ plans for the future? Then you’re in the right place…
Earlier in the week, we were fortunate enough to head across to Wales, where Torchwood: Miracle Day is currently shooting before heading back to Los Angeles. And while we were there, we managed to glean plenty of information from Russell T Davies, John Barrowman, Mekhi Phifer and Eve Myles. Sadly, we're not allowed to run most of it just yet, but Russell T Davies, in an interview with BBC Wales, has given a flavour of what you've got to come.
In the piece, Davies said, "It's brilliant to return to Torchwood - in a way, for me, Torchwood never went away because it always lives in my head, really. The chance to take those characters, take Eve Myles's character, Gwen Cooper, and, obviously, Captain Jack, played by John Barrowman. It's their fourth year of stories now. It's kind of like they have become modern legends. I love that."
He went back over the premise of this new Torchwood run, that basically nobody on Earth can die, and then hinted that his longer term future may be away from science fiction. "Personally I think I'm coming to the end of it now and I've saved the world and blown up the world too many times, and I hope I leave Torchwood in rude health, and then I'll probably move onto something else then."
Nothing's been said about Torchwood post-Miracle Day thus far, and it'd be interesting to see whether Davies always keeps some kind of watchful eye over it, or eventually makes a complete cut.
In the interview, he talks about other writers coming in to the show with real enthusiasm, and it might just be that he's got a few more ideas up his sleeve that he wants to progress, now that he's residing full time in Los Angeles.
Here's the interview at the BBC.
