Further Information

 * The Editorial this issue announces the Torchwood: The Official Magazine from Titan Magazines will be resting after the next issue. This is due to the renegotiations of licences in readiness for the next series - a co-production with American company Starz.
 * Aimed at mature fans of the series, the magazines did not shy away from discussions involving sex and violence, topics integral to the success of this ‘adult’ spin-off series from the BBC’s more family friendly ‘Doctor Who’.
