In one epic story told over five nights the new series, to be broadcast for the first time on BBC One later this year, promises to be Torchwood's greatest adrenalin-fuelled, high octane adventure yet.
Torchwood: Children of Earth re-joins Captain Jack (John Barrowman), Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles) and Ianto Jones (Gareth David-Lloyd) who are still coming to terms with the death of two of their closest friends. Despite their pain, they have a job to do.
This time they are faced with their fiercest threat to date - one which throws the future of Torchwood and the entire human race spiralling into danger. They battle against the odds but do they stand a chance of saving mankind?
Cameron K. McEwan reports over at Den Of Geek:
'The British Film Institute are hosting a preview of the first episode on Friday, 12th June at the National Film Theatre in London. This would suggest that Torchwood: Children of Earth will start broadcasting on 15th June. As previously announced by the BBC, the five-part series will be aired over five consecutive nights though it would appear that this format will not be observed when it is screened on BBC America.
The event at the NFT also includes a Q&A with guests from the cast and creative team. The BFi have also supplied a synopsis for the first installment (those avoiding spoilers may want to look away now):
1965: Twelve children are gathered on a deserted moor, before being surrounded by a harsh, bright light .... and then they are gone! Today: all over Earth, children stop moving. Stop playing, stop laughing. Then, as one, they begin to speak with the same voice, announcing the imminent arrival of a new alien threat. "We are coming...". As the British government closes ranks, it issues a death warrant against Captain Jack and Torchwood...'Technorati Tags:

A death warrant against Captain Jack? Fat lot of use that's going to be!
That is one eerie trailer...
And you mentioned me, huzzah!
How could I not mention you Cameron! And thanks for the info over at DoG. I'm really quite looking forward to this. Wish I could get to the BFI preview but I think I'm busy that day.
I'm sort of hoping it won't screen w/c 15th June because it's my birthday mid-week and I'm being dragged off by some mates to Barcelona on 17th for a couple of days...it's a 'big' birthday and I've no choice1! Hold it back a week, Mr BBC!!!
Where did you get the information that BBC America will not run it for the 5 consecutive days?
Den Of Geek were the source for that information. Cameron? Cameron? Where are you?
