Here's a quick set report from our friend in the Torchwood production team. Some would call him a mole. Not me. I'll kindly bestow the nickname Chula upon our friend on the inside, in honour of Captain Jack's first appearence on Doctor Who (the infamous Chula warship in "The Empty Child" two-parter). So, here's Chula's latest set report, this time with a difference. It's not from location filming, but from deep within the Torchwood studios at Camelot! Yay for Chula! BEWARE OF THE SPOILERS...
Have been in the studios all week so not much to report. The sets are incredible, especially the HUB (Torchwoods secret base under Millennium Square) it's a large cavernous space with high-tec work stations, a firing range (where we discover Gwen is a crack shot), a morgue and dungeons where Torchwood's resident monster the "Weevil" lives (played as always by Dr Who's brilliant monster-man Paul Casey). The Weevil is fantastic and is sure to be one of the Fan's favorites, but it's not the only monster down there!
Gareth has been shooting his first scenes as Ianto this week and his character is quite the charmer. Dressed in snazzy suits he guards the Hub from unwelcome attention and although not strictly part of Torchwood, his intelligence, good looks and a strange ability to make superb coffee makes him an valued contributor to their investigations.
The cast and crew said their goodbyes to Peter Bennett (1st AD) and Stefan Morris (2nd AD) both returning to Dr Who. Steff received a Dalek cake whilst Peter's had a picture of John Barrowman pulling a moonie on his (he dutifully ate the piece of cake with Johns butt on it). Both will be greatly missed.
Torchwood secret:
We learn a big secret about Capt Jack at the end of episode 1, he tells Gwen -
Out of respect for the Torchwood production team, that's where our set report ends. They work so hard to bring us thirteen episodes of television magic that it would be horrible of me to ruin the fun and tell you guys the secrets months in advance. But it is a marvellous secret, and should make for a VERY interesting series concept. And on that cryptic note, I'll bid you guys goodbye until more Torchwood news comes in...

Wow, you've already been asked by the BBC not to print location details. How upset do you think they're gonna be now you're printing details of studio scenes?
At least you have more respect for the show and its potential fans than whoever your mole is. Thanks for not spoiling things. But I think I'll stop coming to this site, I thought it would have general news and information and teasers. I thought you were gonna be respectful to the show, its producers and potential viewers. Instead I've learned way too much already.
come on! spill the spoiler
anonymous#1 I'm sorry you feel that way. Personally I think we make it pretty clear if you're going to read a spoiler (HENCE THE BIG STUPID LETTERING!!!). If you don't want to read the spoilers, we give you enough advance warning to skip over them. Besides, as I've said in an earlier post, there's currently very few Torchwood sites out there - so we're bound to have a little bit of everything included here at torchwood.tv. I'm sorry you're taking a dislike to our work, but forgive me for saying so, we have the utmost respect for team Torchwood, hence the spoiler tags, listening to the BBC's requests, etc. Hope you'll re-consider your stay here, jackharkness
This is very exciting stuff - it's just heightening the thrill of waiting for me.
shame there is no pic of THAT cake!
;)
