welcome to the forum though, sorry can't be more helpful!
They were in talks with Fox but that has now fallen through.
They are hoping to get another US network involved.
As to what is happening with the uk version, no one knows (it probably depends on what happens in America).
*Unknown if this is planned as a remake, a continuation or a Spin off to original Torchwood.
That was the impression I got too
RTD is strong on continuity after all. Whether it has Gwen in it is up for grabs though, which is a shame - I always felt that she grounded it in reality and was the shows 'everyman' character.
This was axed a few weeks ago. Hopefully opening the way for new UK Torchwood. Don't forget that Eve asked for time off after having a baby, so don't panic yet.:)
We live in hope for a new series tho!
After last season's fiasco when DVDs were sent out early and word got out about Ianto's death, I'd say filming pics are the least of their worries
We'll know as soon as it gets confirmed, if it gets confirmed. The producers will want to start building hype asap.
We once waited nine years for the Doctor to return - and he did - so keep hoping!
I'd like to think that, with the quality of CoE (and it's impressive viewing figures), Torchwood will return.
Hmmmm, quite apart from the devistation that wrecked The Hub ... the area is currently under major refurbishment with extensive building being undertaken ... perhaps the powers that be are waiting for the work to near completion before they decide whether or not to re-site the Cardiff HQ in the same location ... baring in mind that the new BBC studios are planned to be located less than a mile away ... would also give RTD to approach other interested networks in the USA ... giving them ample time to decide if they wish to be part of the Torchwood future ... and with JB's current DHw's commitments through to the end of the Summer and panto at Christmas, any local (UK) production is not likely to commence until next Spring ... this break would also give EM a chance to enjoy being a mum in the most crucial of times ... come on, be realistic ...
..and that's a series with no foreseeable ending.

Who cares? All three series drew millions of viewers, so obviously a fair proportion of them will "care" about a fourth series.
The actors and crew employed by the BBC will also "care".
As for the "extended same-sex loves scenes" - hmmmm, I must have blinked and missed those :rolleyes:
JB has already finished filming DH and is back in the UK.
Well unless I am mistaken (and that's quite possible) all of the main protagonists and seveal of the antagonists had same-sex encounters in the first series alone. Even I saw those and I don't like to Blink much..
Maybe bi-sexuality is a requirement for employment by Torchwood ? I wonder if Mickey knows this...:D
D
So now you have modified "extended same-sex loves scenes" to "same-sex encounters".
Not quite the same thing, eh?
Oh No He Doesn't...
[Grabs coat and runs]
I beg to differ. By "love scenes" I didn't mean physical sex, otherwise I would have said that. I think Ianto's death at the end of CotE was an extended same-sex love scene, and a very well done one, at that. It's just that the entire show just seemed to me to be constructed around finding ways to show that type of encounter and the aliens / x-files type of occurences began to take second place, almost getting in the way of the real story, which was The Story of Jack Harkness.
It lost it's way.
D
Oh yes he........ah I see what you did there
Oh dear :rolleyes:
But Torchwood was always meant as more of an ensemble piece, it was never the story of Jack Harkness. If anything, the writers went out of their way to make his story as vague as possible.
If anything, the biggest obstacle to continuing the story is the fact they have now killed 3 of the original 5 members of the team. Having just Jack and Gwen would make it too similar to the Doctor+Assistant format.
As for complaining about same-sex love scenes, is that really such a big deal these days? OK I agree the first series tried a bit too hard to be shocking and adult, but series 2 and 3 saw the Jack/Ianto storyline develop beautifully.
