Talk:Series 4 (Torchwood)

Broadcast date
No offence to "Den of Geek", or to John Barrowman for that matter, but we cannot possibly suggest any broadcast dates for Series 4 at this time. They don't even have a production schedule yet. 23skidoo 00:48, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Cartmel?

Says Andrew Cartmel is writing "The Jinx" for series 4. Should it go in the rumours folder, or the official writers folder? N3onkn1ght 04:13, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Better not either. Just because a script has been submitted or commissioned doesn't mean it'll get made. See Stephen Fry and Moris Farhi. 23skidoo 03:54, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

Article premature?
I'm starting to wonder if the article is premature. Barrowman (per ) appears to be recanting whether there will be a Series 4. If he's doing Desperate Housewives he might not be available, and there's also the question of an American series. I'm not quite read to toss a proposed deletion tag on this, because there is some information to be had (i.e. the Cartmel item above), but there is a lot of unsourced speculation here, too. We should seek consensus but I would be happy to perhaps condense this all down into a subsection of the main Torchwood article until the BBC actually announces whether it's making it. We know Sarah Jane is going into production, but there's been little said for certain about Torchwood. 23skidoo 03:53, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

I hope it does!
I'm a massive fan of Torchwood so I hope it comes. Trikster87, 12:47, 6th April 2010 (UTC)

US version?
Please, please, please never let this happen. I know what happened to the superbly brilliant Life on Mars when it got 'ported' to the US, and the result is just... horrible. US versions of British shows almost always suffer like that... -- Sorceror Nobody 18:58, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

Confirmed
I've added that the BBC has confirmed this series, and that it isn't a US remake but instead will be a new series that will feature the original team in the US and elsewhere. --Golden Monkey 17:53, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

Yes!
I'm pleased to hear Torchwood's returning for a ten-part series. Trikster87

Matt Smith
I have heard rumors that Matt Smith as The Doctor may appear in the new series of Torchwood, is there anything confirming that?

Who will die next?
Not to sound cynical but we all know its going to happen (unless RTD has an original dark idea) that one or more charecters will be killed off. So who do you think will be next? Bare in mind you can not include Jack for obvious reasons and we all know Gwen is RTD's favourite so she wont go. Me personally I believe Andy will be the next to die has he is almost a memeber of the team. Has for the new charecters I would give them at best a season, and at worst they will be all if not dead by the end. Im not trying to dis RTD but lets face it the man has a habbit of leaving dea bodies through this show. Might as well rought for the bad guys in this season:>

Please note, talk pages are for discussion of changes to the articles, not for speculation discussion of plot holes etc. That belongs in forums. Do not post here to ask this kind of thing again. The Thirteenth Doctor 09:22, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Jane Espenson
Jane has confirmed in discussion with me on twitter she is writing episode seven. She also spoke about Russell T Davies and said "his notes are making my scripts tougher, sexier, funnier, realer." @janeespenson

Article needs to be updated
As an unregistered user I can't add this info myself, but the article needs to be updated to indicate the casting of Mekhi Phifer as Rex (per the LA Times' Zap 2 It news page here). 68.146.64.9 15:09, December 14, 2010 (UTC)

Bill Pullman
Bill Pullman has been cast as Oswald Jones, and the article announcing his cast also seems to say he's a series regular now. --Golden Monkey 23:59, December 15, 2010 (UTC)
