Torchwood: Children of Earth To Air In June  :spidey

After months of speculation, the third series of the Doctor Who spin-off show, Torchwood, is to be broadcast on BBC1 in June.

The British Film Institute are hosting a preview of the first episode on Friday, 12th June at the National Film Theatre in London. This would suggest that Torchwood: Children of Earth will start broadcasting on 15th June. As previously announced by the BBC, the five-part series will be aired over five consecutive nights though it would appear that this format will not be observed when it is screened on BBC America.

The event at the NFT also includes a Q&A with guests from the cast and creative team. The BFi have also supplied a synopsis for the first installment (those avoiding spoilers may want to look away now):

1965: Twelve children are gathered on a deserted moor, before being surrounded by a harsh, bright light .... and then they are gone!
Today: all over Earth, children stop moving. Stop playing, stop laughing. Then, as one, they begin to speak with the same voice, announcing the imminent arrival of a new alien threat. "We are coming...". As the British government closes ranks, it issues a death warrant against Captain Jack and Torchwood

"Torchwood: Children of Earth" Airs in July on BBC America
May 13, 2009 by Michael Hickerson   || Category: TV News

The upcoming five-part "Torchwood: Children of Earth" will air in July on BBC America.

End of Show has confirmed the series will air over five consecutive nights on both BBC One and BBC America.  No word yet on the specific starting date for the mini-series.

Writer Russell T Davies says "this series is one big serial and the most ambitious story we've ever made, and we've got plenty of surprises in store."

The returning cast includes 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.

My local library just recently started to obtain BBC DVD sets including Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Primeval. I have wanted to watch these shows, but since I don't get BBC America and am currently too broke to buy the episodes or the DVD's I am thrilled! I get to see them on the cheap. I just have to wait my turn, a few people got their requests in before me.

For what it's worth, Primeval isn't a BBC show.

It aired on ITV1 over here but it looks like BBC Worldwide has the distribution.

I know it's unnusual here but I don't have a podcast of my own.

Yea, it airs on BBC America over here. I was politely corrected when I was talking to my friend over in Ireland about BBC having good shows. :P

As you know i'm not a great fan of Torchwood but this looks great.

I don't know what it is about possessed children.. but I find that always bone chilling freaky.

Meds

Children i find freaky full stop. Which of course means i'm going to be living a nightmare from August. ;)

There's a comment I could make there...

This actually looks interesting. I've not been a big fan of Torchwood at all but I will probably watch this too.

I know it's unnusual here but I don't have a podcast of my own.
