Well the BBCAmerica launch team is now flying back to Britain after only a few days in Beverly Hills. Most of their time was spent at the TCA Summer Press Tour at the Beverly Hilton. We have only seen a handfull of articles from the US press on the event so far but more should be on there way.
The TV Gal at the Seattle P-I, reported that she got to chat with JB for a half hour at a jumping party put on Friday night at the house of BBC-US President Garth Ancier. She has now updated her blog and put up a transcript of the conversation.
M2TV reported on the panel. Saying the most memorable moment came when a journalist offered Barrowman an opportunity to "dig himself out of a hole" after JB mentioned the higher quality of British television compared with the US, JB responded, "Oh, no! I quite like being in holes." AfterElton led with that quote in their article, they also got a great personal interview with the Captain.
The Chicago Tribune's Entertainment Blog were also able to talk with Barrowman. Referring to James Marster's appearance, “There’s a scene between he and Jack when they first meet, all I’ll say is, this scene is so hot, so horny, so violent, that all the fans who watch it are going to .... .” They couldn't print the end of his quote. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinal also had a nice writeup but again couldn't seem to get JB's words past the editor.
While Torchwood.TV isn't a member of TCA and consequently wasn't allowed into the panel, I did head down to the Beverly Hilton today, which isn't too far from my home, just to see what the scene was like. I didn't get too excited about seeing Ashley Olson and David Duchovny strolling through the lobby but when Jack Harkness creator Steven Moffat walked by I had to say hello. He was there as part of the Jekyll panel and waiting for his ride back to the airport. Moffat had dug his own hole of sorts with NBC during his panel and created some fireworks as reported here. I did manage to ask him one question before he was off, if he would have any time for Torchwood scripts in his future schedule. Unfortunately Moffat said probably not, Doctor Who and other projects had him too busy.
Premium Hollywood has put up much of the transcripts of the Jekyll and Torchwood panels here.

Wow, I'm so excited about the season 2 ! I can't wait to see that !
(and I hope one day Torchwood will be scheduled in France, like Doctor Who which is already a succes here...)
Vive les Unas
HELLO... ITS BRYN aka BRAX who is filling in for xXx and bbcinsider while they're off on other projects... News from the studio floor:
It's quiet with JB in the good ol' US of A... and very dull... although Eve has kept us all in fits of giggles in a most unusual way!!! :)
Steven Moffat and RTD are both leaving anything to do with TW to other writers as they embark on yet another Sci-Fi series so it looks as though TW won't be as dark as it should - and we much suspect Series 3 to be non-existent... We're filming nights for a month now!! So much for 'no, we won't be doing too many nights' !!! We're double banking soon too (which means someone's made a mistake) and we have two sets to take care of.. bummer... trying to be on two sets at the same time is starting to become more and more tiring and not as much fun as we thought it would be.. Burn and Gareth both say hello to all the people on these websites...
More next week...

Actually last week France was added to Torchwood's long list of buyers. NRJ12 will be showing it, I don't know the schedule yet.
huh?
Moffat has never been involved with TW, and he is not involved with TW now. And whether there is a third series or not probably depends on how well TW series 2 performs.
