Apparently John Barrowman has been telling audience members watching the recording of his new show, "The Kids Are Alright", that a third season of Torchwood has already been commissioned, and he'll be heading back to Cardiff next June to begin filming it. Fans will know this isn't the first time a Torchwood star has hinted at a 2009 series...
Earlier this month, during a concert with Gareth David-Lloyd in Cardiff, James Marsters revealled to his audience that he's signed on to appear in future episodes of Torchwood, following his guest stint in season two. Marsters seems to be hinted that [SPOILER WARNING] he'll continue to play the role of Captain John beyond the second series finale.
It does mean that John Barrowman will be having a busy 2008. He's already confirmed that he'll be returning to Doctor Who for a number of episodes; the only question now is, which ones? Some fans seem to think that he'll crop up in Steven Moffat's mid-season two parter (which could finally answer the question of Jack's missing two year memory) whereas others - including tabloid newspapers - are inclined to thinking that his return will come in the two part finale, alongside Billie Piper as Rose Tyler. What do you think? When will Jack strike back?
Anyhoo...back to the topic at hand; Torchwood, season three. Remember that nothing's been confirmed yet, so don't get your hopes up - because that way, there's no way they can possibly be dashed. Just sit back, happy in the knowledge that we've got at least another 13 episodes to come, and they start in little over a month...

Actually Marsters never said that - wishful fangirl thinking I'm afraid. What he said was he'd love to do it.
And here's another "Actually....."
I was in the audience when John was asked about Series 3 of Torchwood and he definitely did NOT say that Series 3 had been comissioned......
To the anonymous person who said that John didn't say anything about Torchwood series 3....maybe he did, but just not in the recording that you were at. He did recordings all week, it could be that you weren't at the right one. Don't rule it out completely.
Yeah...totally...that's the excuse I was gonna use. Clearly ;)
You Woodies are a tricky bunch to please, aren't you?*
*And Marsters did say he was signed on for three - but not at the Cardiff concert. He was at Collectomania in Manchester and told a group of fans...
I should know, cos I was there!
Gareth told fans at Memorabilia about filming for S3 starting on June 2008.
I think we can feel at least a bit happy already, can't we?
Viewing figures are the only true measure of whether or not TW3 happens. Nobody knows if it will happen yet, especially not John and the other cast members.
So make sure you tune in in January, and make TW3 happen!
Can I possibly be the only person who thinks that John Barrowman is a decidedly ungifted actor? He makes William Shatner look like Sir Laurence Bloody Olivier.
just found this on the CBBC newsround website - http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_7120000/newsid_7125100/7125182.stm
