I don’t know, you wait months for episodes of quality sci fi to come out of BBC Cardiff, then eight come along all at once. Doctor Who’s adult spin-off Torchwood returns next week, kicking off (as previously noted in our radio previews) with three audio dramas in Radio 4’s Afternoon Play slot. They will be followed by the TV series proper, finally making the transition to BBC1 with the five-part story Children of Earth, which will air nightly from Monday July 6.
In the run up to Children of Earth, we’re declaring next week to be Torchwood Week here on TV Today. We’ll have interviews with the cast as well as series creator Russell T Davies, who returns to writing duties on Torchwood for the first time since the first episode of Series 1.
To whet your appetite, over the jump we’ve got the latest BBC1 trailer.
