I take it that is a complete guess, as it is likely to be back for the Autumn season, quite possibly October 2007.

Nope - it's been comissioned by BBC Two for a Jan 2008 start.

2008 seems like an extra long break for some reason

I think it's just that BBC2 would like to start their 2008 schedules with it, and that possibly can't be ready early enough in order for the last episodes not to get lost around Christmas if they were to start it this year.

Shooting starts this week, so it's a scheduling decision more than anything else.

Elizabeth Sladen has said the SJ adventures have been delayed by "production problems on torchwood". It's said they were having trouble getting the whole cast back together at the same time.

Is there something to back that up, like a definitive BBC link to say that it will be 2008 (rather than a 3rd-part site)? All that I have found is this from BBC News, Dec 12th 2006:

“Meanwhile, Torchwood has been recommissioned for a second series, but it will move from BBC Three to BBC Two.

Filming is due to start in Cardiff in Spring 2007 and the series will hit screens later next year.”

Reported in 2006, and says "later next year" (i.e. later 2007)

Torchwood will most likely start in 2007, but will run through to 2008 as it shall be shown about Mid-November, probably taking the time slot of Heroes after its finished. John Barrowman, Eve Myles, Burn Gorman, Naoko Mori and Gareth David-Lloyd have all confirmed as returning to the series, so this will be excellent. bring on series 2.

As close to official as I know of, is Julie Gardner's interview with The Stage: http://www.thestage.co.uk/podcasts/m...doctor-who.mp3

If you don't want to listen to the whole thing, the Torchwood scheduling piece is at 18mins 30secs.

Basically January suits the BBC2 programming schedule and the TW production schedule.

So if that's the case then, TW finishes just as DW starts (allowing for reschedules and postponements due to sport ).
