Filming for the third season of the BBC's Doctor Who spinoff Torchwood 
(aired in the U.S. on BBC America), has begun in Cardiff, Wales, BBC 
Worldwide announced. The series, created and produced by Russell T. 
Davies, is scheduled to return in 2009, with a five-part miniseries 
titled Torchwood: Children of Earth.

The new season sees the Torchwood team embarking on a single 
action-packed adventure as they battle for the future of the human race 
against the fiercest force they have yet encountered.

The highly motivated team includes John Barrowman as Capt. Jack 
Harkness, Eve Myles as Gwen Cooper and Gareth David-Lloyd as Ianto 
Jones. Also reprising their recurring roles are Kai Owen as Gwen's 
husband, Rhys, and Tom Price as PC Andy.

Special guests in the five-part series include Peter Capaldi, who plays 
the role of Mr. Frobisher, a civil servant who is hiding a terrible 
secret; Paul Copely as Clem, a survivor still haunted by his past; and 
Liz May Brice as Johnson, a cynical covert government agent determined 
to expose Torchwood.

"The new series of Torchwood is hugely bold and promises to be bigger 
and better than ever," Davies said in a statement. "The audience is in 
for an amazing ride. This series is one big serial and the most 
ambitious story we've ever made, and we've got plenty of surprises in 
store."

In a separate statement, Julie Gardner, Head of Drama, BBC Wales, said, 
"We hope to make Torchwood a gripping and surprising TV event with 
storylines that push our team into greater danger and sacrifice. 
Joining our main cast are some fantastic guest artists who will only 
add to making this unmissable TV."

The second season of Torchwood will be released on DVD in the U.S. on 
Sept. 16.

 Peace out,
CapnHollis.
