"More fun, more adventure, more warmth, more romance, more excitement. We've plussed everything!" Chris Chibnall reveals, in an interview with SFX Magazine (the latest issue is out now). "We were really pleased with the first series," he continues, "but there were things we thought we could finesse and tweak a little, things like more sense of humour, a little bit more heroism from the team, and not going dark all the time."
Chibnall expands, "It's like a kind of graphic equaliser - you fade up a couple of things and pull a couple of things down, but it's not like you put a new song on."
"We learn a lot about Jack, about all aspects of his life - more about the time agency, more about where Jack comes from. And he has [romantic] entanglements this year. I wish I could tell you who with, but you'll have to wait and see!"
Chibnall confirms that Bilis Manager won't be returning to Torchwood for its second series (but he could return in the future); Jack being the Face of Boe won't be addressed ("that's x amount of years in the future and the subject of speculation") and that Ianto's stopwatch will return...
Elsewhere in the magazine there's a review of the Torchwood series one DVD boxset. The show itself is given three out of a possible five stars, and the special features are marked 4/5. The review is by Chris Johnson. He seems pretty optimistic about the show's future quality...
There's previews of Smallville season seven (which guest stars James Marsters as the badass Brainiac); a chat with Heroes very own cheerleader, Hayden Panettiere; a look ahead to December's "The Golden Compass" movie; and interviews with both Kevin Smith ("Clerks") and Amanda Tapping ("Stargate SG1" and now "Stargate Atlantis" too!).
You can pick up SFX issue 164 in shops today, priced £3.99.

ianto's stopwatch? not remembering.
Help !
Found no booklet within the box set box - could not believe the "dull" cover, and the dull disks !!
Is there supposed to be anything more than the actual disks within the box ?
Million thanks.
Ianto's stopwatch was seen during the 8th episode: "They Keep Killing Suzie" - playing a major role at the end of the episode, when it's first suggested that Ianto and Jack are having a sexual relationship.
There's no booklet inside the Torchwood DVD boxset, I'm afraid.
I can't believe they've decided to overlook Bilis Manger. He was, by far, the most convincing character in the first series. A shame...
you know during the stopwatch incident, jack said 'see you in office in 10'
well, this obviously implies 'see you in my office so we can have sex'
did ianto actually go??
because whether he did or didnt could make a huge difference..
i found a website where there was a transcript of a supposedly 'real' conversation between the two charcters during episodes 8 and 9... and jack said 'why didnt you come to my office'
and ianto says 'i am busy' or something like that..
bit of help, anyone??
