Now showing on BBC America and on the official site is this new extended trailer for the forthcoming five part Torchwood saga Children Of Earth.
The official BBC site still sheds no light on an actual transmission date but the odds on are that it'll be towards the end of June. BBC America have it advertised as July for their broadcast.
Blurb from the official site:
"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?"
Also note that a series of Torchwood radio plays will be airing in the Radio 4 Afternoon Play slot before the 5 part story transmits on BBC1.

The Book(s) What I Wrote
"Merits attention from Doctor Who fans interested in the development of a script by going deep into the story’s genesis and shifts in tone, and the infamous production difficulties which plagued it. The glimpses of Steve Gallagher’s original scripts are fascinating, as are the changes made to them by seemingly everyone from directors to producers to cast members." We Are Cult. 17 June 2019.
