Shooting of the Captain Jack spinoff has been delayed from this month, to June/July.

I'm a bit concerned that for the most part this new show will be shooting at the same time as the 3rd season of Doctor Who, just hope it doesn't spread people too thin.

Wouldn't put money on it actually premiering in 2006 now.

Not good news, especially when production personnel (James Hawes, producer?) have to bow out due to other commitments.

Do you think there's a chance that Torchwood will be scrapped?

Of course its probably John Barrowman and his Ice Skating competition thats interfering...

I know OG is running this story, but has there been any official announcement from the BBC?

So far I haven't been able to find anything.

Me neither....the plot thickens! If production is starting later on then surely as another poster suggested it will clash with the filming of the Christmas special/series 3. RTD and co will be juggling quite a few balls (no pun intended!) if they intend to oversee both.

It's abit worrying. Might it also clash with JH reprising his Capt Jack role in Dr Who?

Quite! Still nothing has been confirmed as yet.

What I do find worrying...is there a danger of over exposure for Who? We have the series, Torchwood, DW Confidential and now a programme on Fridays for kids. I know DW is flavour of the month at the moment and they most probably want to milk that for all it's worth but I hope they don't go too far in their pursuit of it.

What's this all about, BG?

Sounds like a kids version of "Confidential" theres more about it on http://www.gallifreyone.com .

With this recent delay pushing it back to just before season 3/29 of Doctor Who should start shooting, I'm again starting to question whether Torchwood is actually a real show, or just an attempt to cover up what "Torchwood" really is, and how Jack returns from being stuck on the Gamestation at the end of last season.

BBC have gone to great lengths in pushing the series so would be surprised if what you are suggesting turned out to be true.

Think the expression of putting too many eggs in ones basket springs to mind.

It is mentioned on OG and the BBC DW website.

Ah, thankyou chaps.

Does anyone else think the regular Confidential may be reduced to 15 minutes per episode in order to allow time for this new children's segment to be made?

I think the kids confidential is a very good idea. The others weren't really kid-friendly.

I think the budget for Confidential is supplied by BBC3 as they commission it. Perhaps the money for the kids programme is coming from CBBC?

Torchwood is supposed to be staffed by a dedicated production team, so I don't think anyone should be spread too thin.

Think there are raised eyebrows if the news is true that Torchwood is going into production later on in the year. People are concerned if Torchwood is delayed then how will that affect filming of series 3 which Capt Jack is supposed to return. Schedulers nightmare methinks if both going into production at the same time!

Has the omniscient RTD bitten off more than he can chew?

STOP IT WITH ALL THESE SAYINGS

Juggling eggs in one basket and chewing more than he can juggle - ahHH!

you love them really!

Well, I'm still waiting to hear about it straight from the horse's mouth.

All seems a bit odd that it is on OG but no official word from the BBC.

Well clearly there's a loose cannon who's spreading all these sayings. Of course the idea of Torchwood being delayed isn't good but what you've got to relise is that it's not over until the fat lady sings.

well that largely depends on which fat lady is singing!

Ssh! Loose lips sink ships.

The TARDIS is indestructible!
