We've got a reason to celebrate here at Torchwood.tv as, after 18 months, we've reached our 500th blog post - which is quite an achievement for a site that functioned for almost twelve months before the show it's based around had even aired! So congrats to Kurly for setting the whole ball rolling, and here's to the 1,000th!
There's very little Torchwood news to report at the moment, as the series gears up for filming next Monday. I'm told that the Torchwood second unit team have already been around Cardiff filming pick-up shots for the series (i.e. those CSI inspired ariel shots) and that John, Eve, Burn, Naoko, Gareth and Kai are back in town for rehearsals and script read throughs.
We're also informed that a Torchwood season one boxset is in the works, and should be hitting shops before the Christmas rush. No special features have been announced, but the boxset is almost certainly going to contain the Torchwood Declassified episodes on a bonus disk, and all of the special features already released on the single edition disks.
Another batch of Torchwood books should be upon us before 2007 is out too. This will highly likely be a series of three novels once more - but we've no news on who is writing the books (although I personally wouldn't rule out Justin Richards himself...) More news on the books and DVDs when we get it.
Anyway, that's it for today. We've exhausted all of the available news stories; another reason why we can't wait for filming to start - so we've actually got something decent to talk about again. The next seven days are going to be agony, aren't they?
But one must always look on the brightside, I suppose. Besides, 500 is a great number and I'm honoured to be writing for this site. Long may it serve the Torchwood cause well!

Gareth revealed at the MCM Expo, back in February, that he would be, along with the rest of the cast, recording the episode commentaries in early April (so it should be done by now). So there'll be episode commentaries by the cast on the box set.
He also said there would be a 20-minute-long bloopers reel on the DVDs.
Forgot to add : there's eight TW novels planned for the second series [source - scroll down at the Pulp fiction section]
And, of course, congrats for the 500th entry ;)
John Barrowman will not be attending the Rainbow Awards Dinner and Dance on 6th May in Wales. His agent Gavin said he was not invited. Source - George webmaster for JB's official site on Yahoo. I asked George and he asked Gavin. By all means go and support the event if you want to, but if you were just going to see JB he won't be there.

Thanks for all the info, not as slow a news week as I thought then.
Horray for jackharkness and kurly!
Horray indeed, for the pair of you!
Just a thought...possibly being amazingly slow over here, it's not unusual...but Jack evidently doesn't stay too long with the good Doctor then, if he's back for Torchwood...
Well, that would be telling...
(and I clearly don't know the answer...)

My bad wolf 1 is on 137posts so far and ive dun the most outa all the new dw blogs IVE GOT A LONG WAY TO GO. good luck 4 the 10000000000 post lol
"This will highly likely be a series of three novels once more" series? the last ones were hardly a series, i know they went in order when you stood them next to each other, but the stories weren't in that order. if any order. read them and you'll know :)
Congrats jack and Kurly!This remains the best Torchwood website around, and I hope always will. 500 posts makes me feel small - only 61!
Here's to the future,
Owen
CONGRATS!!!!!!

Great site
So, since I have, like, no life at all, I spent the morning reading the 499 previous entries. It's my way of celebrating your success.
I have to say, despite the witty comments, I have one complaint. I never got to see these pictures of Eve Myles with very few clothes on(you know, from this beach TV show...)
This one is kind of enjoyable, but damnit, where's the HQ?
*waits patiently for pictures to magically appear on her screen*
PS - eeer, can't the filming start already? It's getting unnerving.
Thanks for the support Laurie. You'll be pleased to hear that the "All About Eve, Chalk and Cheese" page remains one of the most popular in TW.tv's history!
I wonder why...?
