Handy Dandy Trailer Organizer

With all the trailers and clips released over the past week I imagine I'm not the only one who has gotten them confused. So here is your ultimate web guide to Torchwood Trailers (as of Friday the 13th.) Follow the links to catch up on any you have missed.

The image “http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/MacGuffin3/weeviltaunt-1.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

It started with the first two-second Torchwood Teaser almost two weeks ago. Then after Robin Hood last Saturday we got the first trailer with actual footage. The next day we got the one-minute trailer which was leaked from an internal BBC source and had previously been shown to the press and at a few events here and there. Then all hell broke loose when they released the third trailer which featured lots of blood and snogging. The most recent update is last night's fourth trailer featuring a kiss between Jack and Gwen and reportedly the official theme tune music as a bed.

Now of course we also can't forget the little viral Torchisodes that have sprung up. We had the overhead carpark vantage point of a ressurection. We then had the same ressurection captured from street level. Plus we can't forget the disturbing tie-in to the second episode Day One, that was captured in an alley.

In addition, there have also been some Torchwood trailers spotted in the cinema this weekend, and a few new brief teasers airing in between TV programs featuring the T-logo and the cast's faces.

Then, last but not least, there is the one minute scene from a BBC promo DVD featuring Gwen, a Weevil and the guy pictured above. This clip has now been posted on youtube here. If anybody's appetite still remains to be whet, I'm sure trailer #5 is soon on its way.

Thanks for organizing that, Kurly! It's much appreciated.

Just 1 correction and an update:

The one minute trailer that you have down as trailer number 2 didn't air on BBC3, in fact it has never aired on TV at all - it was a leak from an internal source.

There are also two other short teasers along the lines of the first one. One with the faces of the cast appearing in the background of the 'T' logo (started airing around the same time as the 'girl kissing' trailer) and one which seems to have started tonight which alternates the 'T' logo with the 'THREE' logo, with October 22nd superimposed all the way through.

There is also a slight variation of the 'Robin Hood' first trailer. Mid-way through the trail, the Weevil attempts to bite someone (instead of snarling at the camera as it does in the first one) and the trail finishes with the Weevil jumping at Gwen, whereas the first ends with Jack being electrocuted by Cyberwoman.

I reckon there's been four different trails broadcast on tv so far. The original one after Robin Hood, the variation mentioned above, blood and snogging and the new, longer one featuring the Jack/Gwen kiss.

And thanks for putting all this info together for us. Very useful.
