Bit of news:

According to Digital Spy

 

 

Russell T. Davies has revealed that Torchwood's third season will be entitled 'Children Of Earth'.

 

The mini-season, directed by Euros Lyn, will run over five consecutive nights on BBC One next spring.

 

Davies told Torchwood Magazine: "More than ever before, this series of Torchwood will be director-led, and it will look absolutely amazing."

 

Filming will begin in Cardiff on August 18 and details of casting are due to be released shortly. Freema Agyeman was expected to join the Torchwood team as Martha Jones, but her recent decision to star in ITV1's Law And Order has put her appearance in doubt.

As I have posted elsewhere, the role Freema has signed up to is a small one as regards screen time. The majority of Law & Order episodes are Detective driven. Even more so seeing as they are using scripts from the original run some 18 years ago. Seeing as filming for this show hasn't even been scheduled for definite, let alone a screening date on ITV, I would more than expect Freema to be in Torchwood if all it is down to is availability. Take into account that the UK does not schedule like the American shows do, so the fact she hasn't been announced yet may just be RTD saving her as a surprise.

 

And remember that August 18th is this coming Monday.

 

Two more bits about Law and Order: London; it is currently in pre-production with scripts being adapted to mirror UK law, and the producer is Richard Stokes who was a producer on Torchwood.

I wish it wasn't running over 5 consecutive nights, if it was once a week like usual it'd last longer B)

Lol, good idea, but at the same time as wanting them to last, I'd not be able to resist watching them when they're aired :P
