Talk:Torchwood Institute

wasn't the "unnamed weapon" from the christmas invasion the Jafhaa Sun Glider seen prominently in the torchwood hangar?


 * A Jathaa sunglider. Yes, it was, and it's mentioned on plenty of other pages, but this one in particular needs a real update. 14:48, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Are you sure that the weapon came from the sunglider. I thought that they were saying that they used the same weapon to shoot down the sunglider.

Torchwood 1918
I have added the names of the 1918 team from "To the Last Man" and the Torchwood website, if thats OK.

Mickey Smith and Martha Jones
Let's keep the speculation out of it. One line of throwaway dialogue at the end of Journey's End does not mean either character was hired permanently. Let's wait for a future TV series or novel before we jump to conclusions. We already know Martha won't be back anytime soon because the actress playing her is now on ITV starring in Law & Order: London. And there's been no report that Noel Clarke is appearing in Series 3, either. I've removed Mickey from the staff list, and corrected Martha's entry accordingly. 23skidoo 15:17, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Cleanup
I think this page should have a Cleanup template on it. A lot of the sentences do not make sense and there is incorrect spelling and grammar. I'm A Hydroponic Tomato! Bigredrabbit (talk to me) 08:59, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Dating issues
Looks like we have a dating inconsistency here. See: Forum:Battle of Canary Wharf/Torchwood series 1 dating. Ausir(talk) 11:21, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

"The Boss"
I tried, but failed to find which part of the Torchwood website or its archived versions "the Boss" comes from. Anyone who can find it, feel free to add it to the behind the scenes section. -- Tybort (talk page) 18:48, July 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * "The Boss" ran the overall Torchwood in the mid-20th century.

Five Torchwoods
Aren't there five different Torchwoods? In The Christmas Invasion there are five different locations shooting at the Sycorax spaceship. --DCLM ☎  18:11, July 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * No? The weapon's locations are clearly coming from separate parts of central London, not across the country, and there's not really going to be "five different Torchwoods" in central London. Not to mention that when the Doctor is on the ground watching the beams firing upwards, they clearly come from a relatively nearby location on the ground. -- Tybort (talk page) 18:43, July 14, 2014 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. --DCLM ☎  20:46, July 14, 2014 (UTC)

Question
Did anyone notice Doctor Who is an anagram of Torchwood? --BlazePlayz ☎  23:01, September 4, 2016 (UTC)
 * Already noted on this very article. Shambala108 ☎  23:07, September 4, 2016 (UTC)
