It began on BBC3, transferred to BBC2 and now
Doctor Who's adult spin-off,
Torchwood is finally arriving on BBC1.
The third season of
Torchwood, which will run over the course of five consecutive nights on the BBC's premier channel, is starting at 9pm on Monday 6 July. Starring the survivors of the second season, Ianto Jones played by Gareth David-Lloyd, Gwenn Cooper played by Eve Myles and of course Captain Jack Harkness played by the irrepressible and omnipresent John Barrowman, the ongoing story is entitled
Children Of Earth which the BBC are quietly playing down as "
Torchwood's greatest adrenalin-fuelled, high octane adventure yet".
Prior to the TV series returning BBC Radio 4 will be broadcasting a series of three 45 minute
Torchwood radio dramas in their
Afternoon Plays slot. All starting at 2.15pm, these are
Asylum written by Anita Sullivan on Wednesday 1 July,
Golden Age by James Goss on Thursday 2 July and finally
The Dead Line by Phil Ford on Friday 3 July.
Since these will be on at awkward times for most
Torchwood fans, they will be available for seven days after broadcast on the BBC iPlayer.
• More details of the Torchwood TV series and radio series are available on the BBC's Torchwood website
