What is Torchwood?
Torchwood is a new series by BBC Wales for BBC Three. Set in Cardiff in the early 21st century it’s about several conspiracy theorists, alien researchers, renegades and other people who’ve fallen out of society investigating alien crimes and incursions, and maybe cleaning up after *other* extraterrestrials have helped save the Earth. While Torchwood may not be a UNIT scientific advisory arm, they do have links to the Government. Controller of BBC Three, Stuart Murphy, said “The renegades investigate human and alien crime, as well as alien technology that has fallen to Earth” The show is a dark, wild, sexy, sinister, psychological, paranoid sci-fi thriller cop drama with a lot of daft British humour. (Think Spooks, This Life and maybe Little Britain) Murphy is also quoted as saying repeatedly that it will be very funny. In The Christmas Invasion with David Tennant, Torchwood was mentioned several times. As well as this the climax to the episode was a result of Torchwood’s actions. 4 ene
