Don't be alarmed by reports today saying there is a major crisis and consequential delay on the production of Torchwood because what has come out of the BBC HD cameras hasn't looked right. It sounds like Sci-Fi Pulse is trying to grab a bit of attention on a slow news week with a very old non-story.
Yes, it's true the original plans were to shoot in HD and yes it's true they had to scrap that. But this all happened months ago, very early in production. Torchwood.TV is happy to report our team in Cardiff is still right on schedule for a late October premiere.
Update: click on the comments as 2 anonymous people say it's still HD, they just changed the brand of HD cameras. Plus there is a new official page on Torchwood at BBC Wales Southeast.

Still confusion over this, as it was the Panasonic HD cameras which did not produce the results required, so they switched to Sony HD cameras. Meaning that unless they are going to downconvert for the finished product, it should still be in HD.
OK thanks for that. It conflicts with something else I have heard, but hope this is the case as HD would be great. (Not that it would matter to me, my TV is 10 years old)
Eh, oh well. I don't mind it there's no HD. I'm going to be watching this on the computer, most likely, anyways. >>; Unless by some awesome act of TPTB SciFi decides to show it WHILE BBC is showing it. But that's doubtful. VERY doubtful.
Torchwood is being filmed in High Definition. Pretty much everything about the Sci-Fi Pulse story is wrong. As the other anonymous says at the top, they changed cameras. End of story. Everything still set for broadcast on BBC3 in the fall :-)
