Is Torchwood Getting A Check-Up?

Another entry for our unsubstantiated rumour department: Some fans are claiming to have recently seen the Torchwood cast filming scenes for the 2009 Doctor Who specials.

No definitive set reports or photographs have surfaced as of yet, so this possible "spoiler" should be taken with more than a grain of salt.

A starting point for these claims may have been last Saturday's "Jonathan Ross Show" on BBC Radio 2. As jackharkness posted last week, David Tennant and Catherine Tate filled in as hosts for the program, with John Barrowman as their special guest. The three actors obviously enjoyed their time together, and at one point made reference to a discussion they had been having "the other day".

Could this be a clue that we may soon see the Hub dwellers getting a check-up from the Doctor? Or was that innocent remark only more grist for the rumour mill?

EDIT: After a little more dirt-digging... yup, this is entirely false. In the words of the Tenth Doctor, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Guess I lived up to my username after all?

Or it could be that, in John's new show you got the chance to put yourself or others forward to be an alien for a a couple of scenes in a special version of doctor who for his show. He's filming his new right now and from people who have been at the show, they were showing little snippets of it at the recording. So that is also another possibility.

RE: Combom

I refuse to listen to any such rumours of Ianto dying.

They've already taken Owen and Tosh (*sob*) from me -- they're not stealing my teaboy, too! :(

Seriously, if Ianto really did die i'd never watch it again! Maybe if owen was still there but without Ianto Gwen makes up 50% of the team - me no like!
Please let that only be a rumour!!
Also, i'd love to hear TW were back in DW - at least we'd know te survived CoE!

If they kill off any more of the original cast it would get really silly.

Bad enough losing two out of five - but three !!! Mind you, the Beeb are capable of anything.
