Changing Faces

This month's Doctor Who Magazine has been released, and contains a quick update on the Torchwood front. It confirms the running order of the show's second season, as well as the casting of Nikki Amuka-Bird in James Moran's untitled episode two. A full rundown of what we know about the series order can be seen below:

EP 1 (Untitled) - Written by Chris Chibnall; Directed by Ashley Way
EP 2 (Untitled) - Written by James Moran; Directed by Colin Teague
EP4 (Untitled) - Written by Catherine Tregenna; Directed by Colin Teague
EP 6 (Untitled) - Written by JC Wilsher; Directed by Ashley Way

There's also episodes by Helen Raynor and another by Catherine Tregenna that form part of production Block One (directed by Andy Goddard). It's not known where they feature in the episode run. No news on Russell T Davies supposed script for the series - but it's possible that it's been postponed indefinately. We'll update when more news comes in.

Elsewhere, and Britain's tabloid newspaper "The Mirror" has run a story about the future of Doctor Who, and Torchwood too. If true it could *possibly* spoil elements of tomorrow's Doctor Who finale - so only click on this link if you're willing to be spoiled (in which case, shame on you!)

Could be an interesting prospect for Torchwood, don't you think?

wtf? if david tennant is really leaving then i feel sorry for the actor who takes over the role as i cant think of anyone who could be half good as he is!!(apart from john simm?? but that would take some explaining....) im gonna be really gutted when David Tennant and Russell t Davies leaves, i cant imagine how anyone else could be as good.

Thta is quite sick how did the face of boe/ jack get so wise and sensible where is the cheeky chappy we all love! The Face of Boe is so boring he floats in a tank. Thats not Jack! I thinks tahts really bad of the team 2 do that!

OMG! Jack...the Face of Boe. In answer to above post...if Jack does become 5 billion years old then I'm sure he'll change a fair bit, just think how we are when we're 100, and times that by 500,000,000 or so. Pretty lifeless and plenty of time to become wise.

It'll be a shame when David leaves but it was always inevitable, and I dont think we can say yet whether or not his successor will be better or worse. DT was better than CE, but it took a long time to better TB. We'll just have to wait.

I do think Martha will be a good addition to Torchwood and maybe more suited to life there too.

Unless I'm missing something Martha won't be in Torchwood, at least not as a regular character.

She has a direct line (literally) to the Doctor and it would link the shows too much in a way that RTD has always avoided.

Given a few billion years, even Captain Jack can lose his dashing features.

Of course RTD has had this Jack/FOB thing planned from the start, it doesn't look at all like he was being a tad too clever for his own good and trying to come up with a funny line for the end of the series.
