JACK'S BACK (DON'T YOU KNOW?!?)
SPOILER-PHOBES BEWARE! Apparently Jack recognises David Tennant as the Doctor, cos he's a clever chap. He puts two and two together following his Torchwood abduction and works out that the Doctor's to blame for his return to the TARDIS. Expect Jack's returning episode, "Utopia", to air sometime in June. There's a preview of this episode's available via digital telly's "red button" feature. It can be viewed online here.
Later on during the interview John discussed Torchwood, and a clip from "They Keep Killing Suzie" was shown. John revealed that filming begins in "late April" and will continue through to November. A broadcast in early 2008 is looking more and more likely.John also spilled the beans on Torchwood's move to BBC Two. Apparently the series will air on the terrestrial channel, but the next episode will follow straight afterwards on BBC Three for digital Woodies to enjoy. But as John carefully said, the schedule is still 10 or so months away and nothing has been made definite as of yet.
More news on Torchwood season two filming details when we get them.

I've just watched the preview! The new series looks amazing!
It may just be me, but i'm sure that i saw Mickey in the centre of the screen when they are all running around with flaming sticks...
Bloody hell! Bloody hell, bloody hell, bloody hell! That looks, (fight back the urge to swear here, OK), well, amazing. And they've brought back the good old word, 'alonze'. My God, I can't wait! And pig-men, why do I think that that is the grand creation of Mr Russell T. Davies???
Woah. That, is full of about a million cliffhangers. Damn! The suspense will kill me until the series ends. What does it mean, when the(very gorgeous) David Tennant says 'I'm not the Doctor.' ?????
Utopia is going to air on 6th June 2007.
Trailer does look brilliant, I can't wait til Saturday! Jack looks great, but what's with the saluting, and who's the strange man at the end?
....WOW!
The 'strange guy' is John Simm, playing the master, maybe. (John Simm is more commonly known a DI Sam Tyler in Life on Mars.
"What does it mean, when the(very gorgeous) David Tennant says 'I'm not the Doctor?"
It means Jack is the Doctor of course. What else?
By the way, the comment before mine should have a spoiler warning. Thanks.
No time to write a new post as I'm off to Vegas in a few minutes but here are a few links of interest. JB talking about recording his audio version of Another Life at Play.Com. Eve Myles visiting a Barry School covered in the South Wales Echo.
Have a nice weekend.
Well, I don't see why the filming schedule should make the show to be broadcasted in early 2008.
The first series' filming started on April 2006, if I recall well, and ended on November 4th according to the DVD extras. Same schedule for the filming as last year, why should the broadcast be different?
According to RTD they want more time for filming this time round, to make it better. First series did have a couple of weak episodes, and RTD wants to avoid that.
Hmm, somehow, I don't think that Captain Jack is the doctor. Sorry!
For this weeks article in The Stage, Julie Gardner said:
Last year, we started filming in March and we were on air with 13 episodes from late September, which was just so, so hectic. And we didn’t really have enough time – it was absolutely frantic from day one of prep, it was all hands on deck.
And so, it just works for the BBC2 schedule that we can go in January. So it’ll just give us a little bit more time in our post-production. Which would be lovely, because we were delivering an episode every single week for transmission. It was incredibly tight. So it was just as well we didn’t have any last-minute technical difficulties last year!
This makes sense to me, even though the BBC is also sending out this standard e-mail to anyone asking when Series 2 starts:
Thank you for your e-mail regarding 'Torchwood'.
A second series has been commissioned and filming will start in spring 2007. The exact broadcast date has yet to be confirmed but it will be
late 2007.
