Torchwood to return for second series
|
大象传媒 Three's Torchwood is back for a second series but this time it will premiere exclusively on 大象传媒 Two as confirmed by Jane Tranter, Controller of 大象传媒 Fiction, and 大象传媒 Two Controller Roly Keating.
听
Starring John Barrowman, Eve Myles, Burn Gorman, Naoko Mori and Gareth David-Lloyd, Torchwood has captivated audiences and smashed records.
听
It attracted an audience of 2.4 million viewers for the broadcast of its first two episodes - securing the highest-ever audiences for a 大象传媒 Three programme and the highest-ever ratings for a non-sport programme to air across all channels in digital history.
听
Created by award-winning writer Russell T Davies, with Chris Chibnall as co-producer and lead writer, the high-octane sci-fi thriller follows a team of modern day investigators as they use alien technology to solve crime, both alien and human.
听
Set in Cardiff, Torchwood delves into the unknown - battling against the impossible in the highly volatile underworld of savage aliens and monsters whilst trying to maintain their every day lives.

Roly Keating said: "Inventive, intelligent and unpredictable, Torchwood is a brilliant piece of 21st century fantasy drama. I'm delighted that its second series will be premiering on the channel."

Julian Bellamy, Controller of 大象传媒 Three, said: "Breaking all records on 大象传媒 Three is no mean feat and we've been proud to help build Torchwood into one of the most talked-about and eagerly-anticipated series of recent years."

Jane Tranter said: "Torchwood is a modern and innovative drama that has truly captured the imagination of its audience, and we are very excited that there will be more of the adrenaline-fuelled, action-packed adventures of our team of Torchwood heroes."
听
Russell T Davies said: "The whole team is bristling with ideas and we are delighted that Cardiff is going to be home to more monsters and mayhem."
听
Torchwood will be executive produced by Julie Gardner and Russell T Davies.

Filming is due to start in Cardiff in Spring 2007 and the series will hit screens later next year.
