Oh. It's confirmed by (she of the large and amazing hair and Torchwood/Who/SJA producer) Julie Gardner that Torchwood will only be a five episode mini-series, running over one week next year. If I were to guess why, I'd be "blaming" the ubiquitous John Barrowman's increasingly hectic schedule or possibly the new master of the Whoniverse, Steven Moffat's ambivalence towards the show (in past interviews he has expressed having very little interest or desire to work on the show). During his tenure he might want to pare back to just Doctor Who. Another reason, what with Gardner and RTD leaving and Chris Chibnall and Richard Stokes already gone is that the powers that be might consider Torchwood to be a hallmark of the RTD era and might want him to put his own show to bed, clearing the deck for any other potential spin offs. Like Jenny Who's Amazing Action Hour, maybe. Whatever the reason is, the show isn't ending, it's just being condensed into one week in what smells suspiciously like an attempt at week long event television, like Britain's Got Talent.
I just hope SJA isn't canceled! |
