Torchwood Ignites In May

Russell. T. Davies is interviewed today by sci-fi's very own sci-fi wire, and he uses the opportunity to talk about Torchwood :

"We start filming in May, and we should be on in this country [England] in October," Davies said in an interview. "So we'll have two shows running simultaneously, which will be fun."

This corrosponds with yesturday's news, that production begings April 23rd (although I'd now guess this was more likely to be rehearsals for the actual cast than any specific filming). One 'source' on OutpostGallifrey recently let slip that filming begins May 1st, but whether you take this story with one big fat lump of salt is entirely up to you. One thing is for sure though: The media are going to go crazy over this series, just like they did for Doctor Who. And torchwoodtv will be there to record every moment of it.

good work on spotting this while I was asleep Jack.

Quite exciting to finally hear some dates from the horse's mouth.

A bit puzzled by RTD's comment that both shows will be running simultaneously. If WHO starts on April 15th, 13 weeks out from that is sometime in July. Even a few weeks off for the World Cup still would not put it all the way into October.

Maybe he is just talking about the productions running simultaneously, not the airing. Either that or I missed something somewhere, as usual.
