There we go, Torchwood II has launched - and already we've got to see a rather sexy side to James Marsters, not to mention a brand spanking new series trailer. So; how was it for you?
Calm down; take a deep breath in, and visit the official Torchwood website for some exclusive new content - including the first part of a new series long game where you (yes, you!) can become a member of the Torchwood team, and help investigate mysteries and crimes around the city of Cardiff.
Still a skeptic? Perhaps this fictional website, set within the Torchwood universe, will convince you that those pesky alien threats are real. And Elvis is still alive too, aparently. Dark Talk; a name you should probably watch out for, I'm assured...
There's also a chance to watch John Barrowman's video diary for episode one by clicking here.
News updates should follow pretty regularly; including overnight ratings, expected tomorrow!

Arrghhh!
I can't get ANY of the videos on the site, or the linked sites, to work...anyone else having this trouble? SO ANNOYED!
AND the chat won't open up for me either, some problem with java apparently...I was looking forward to a return of the late night episode chat's almost as much as the series itself!
Episode was good. But I'm not happy!

"If you are outside the UK you will not be able to use bbc.co.uk/torchwood for rights reasons."
Man, this is really... upseting.
someone PLEASE download some of this stuff on YOUTUBE. It's so annoying irratating.
Here's something worth reading.... If you visit the Dark Talk page, it invites you to join the corresponding myspace page which has the following disclaimer:
"This website has been created as part of an online game for Torchwood. Torchwood is a BBC TV series. You can find out more about Torchwood here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/torchwood
This website is entirely fictional. We apologise for any inconvenience if you thought this was a real site. Any similarity to real businesses or people is entirely coincidental. "
So... Could Torchwood be having a webgame like Lost did last with the Hanso Foundation and Joop the orangutan last year? You Losties and Tailies know what I'm talking about...
Oh yeah, the Dark Talk page is available to Americans too!!! Yay!
why did they have to remind us every ten minutes rhat cap'n jack is gay? WE KNOW ALREADY!!!
I'm pretty pi$$ed off they made the site UK only.
Thank god for UK proxies.... ;)
Take pity on me! Don't make me wait ten days! How was the show? Howmuch of the trailer was episode 1?
and regarding Jack's sexuality- I thought the point was that he was omnisexual? So far except for one smog with the gaseous alien, all the people he's kissed are men. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but equal time
for straight girl fantasies please! ;)
Is it just me (well no it isn't actually, most people I talk to agree), that is sick and tired of John Barrowman's real-life personality being protrayed in the character's role. Yes I'm talking about the fact he has to tongue everything that moves.....it was bad enough in the last series, and I was hoping it would be the end of it, but no, he's at it again with the the first few minutes of the new series. I just can't believe Russell T Davies is allowing this to go on....it just basically deflates what is a great series, and I for one (well and a lot of others), are wondering whether the series is worth watching.
At times brilliant, but I'm afraid at times cringing in the extreme (and totally unnecessary too).
thought last night's episode was fantastic, really enjoyed it.
The point about Captain Jack, and Torchwood as a whole really, is that this one little man isn't scared to live his life and love who he wants. He sees a man he likes, then good. He'd equally fall for a woman, or alien, or whatever. He is free of sexuality and all those pesky labels we grant it.
And didn't you get the point of last night's episode? He returned from "Doctor Who" because he *loves* his team. All of 'em. Ianto. Gwen. Owen. Tosh. He's finally found his place in he universe; a silly little team in Cardiff that he truly loves.
And in their own way, the team love him too ("it's more fun when he's around though") hence why Jack was so keen to return to them, because when he's with the Doctor it's great and all, but the love is only ever one way.
Just my two cent.
I found i was struggling with the game website's video's and stuff and i'm in the UK. At the bottom of most pages is a link to the "low tech" version.
Finished the first bit. Tis a bit of fun. Very well done.
Angie from Skins on Dark Talk! Yay!
Ahh, excellent...low tech may be just the thing!
Greatest problem..can't find the button. What video's is it on, and where on the page?!
When you go onto a page, say the mission page. Use the scroll (not your browser scroll bar but the one on the page) to go down to the bottom of the gray boxes. It should say "low tech" on most of them.
I couldn't get the low-tech versions to work for me, so I just remembered what one of the pages told me before not working anymore and searched Conrad's blog and dating profile. Hopefully I picked the right person. *crosses fingers*
Ahhh, found it...except, drat, not on any of the videos? I can only find it on like the police report and stuff...
Ahh well...
Sorry!
Ianto's first video is up at angry who fan...

Shoudl be viewable by non UK citzens!
Big fan of frank talking and all sexual activity, never before has the world seen a gay(ish) Sci-Fi lead.
BUT agree totally, just because you a bit sexually charged doesn't mean every line of dialogue is inneundo. Like watching a carry on film.
Thought that let it down a lot. Oh yeah and like Butler boy after going out with that bodacious black cyborg chick would consider a date with Jack
Anyone who can't see the video's you need flash player 8. There is a very quick message about it, but to fast to read. I managed to screen shot it and it just says you need flash player 8. A google search should get you it.
Hope that helps anyone who's been having video problems

The Dark Talk site video won't load for me, and I have Flash Player 9. Is this site only accessible to the UK and US?
You may need flash 8, it seems that Adobe are having problems with Flash 9 at the moment. If you can get onto the site, there should be no problem with you accessing the video just because your not in the UK or US.
Thanks for the tip about Flash 8. If I get time in the next couple of days I'll see if I can install V8 over V9 and try again. Wish they wouldn't release software without the bugs ironed out first...
iskandra, what do u mean when u say 'thank god for uk proxies'?
