Articles If Torchwood Came Back For A Fifth Season...



There has never been another show quite like Torchwood, where a group of people worked below Cardiff, and saved the world from their underground bunker.  A group of people who we fell in love with and felt their every day pain and struggles, when they loved and lost people they cared about, when certain aspects of their job was more than just for the planet, when romantic attachments were fought to preserve and where ‘the 21st century was where everything changes, and ‘Torchwood is ready...’

We followed the series from episode 1, Series 1, to the final episode of Miracle Day, Series 4, when another immortal man would find himself linked to Torchwood.  But after two years and still no sign of the series returning, we wonder if there will be another series and if it will return to Cardiff, or continue in America.

     If Torchwood came back for a 5th season what would you prefer to see, as in episode structures? Would you like it as it was back in Series 1 & 2 where there were different episodes every week but still with a running story arc, or would you prefer the longer episodes of one major storyline such as Series 3 & 4?


On our Facebook Page we put this question to our fans who all had their own opinions about this.

Emma Brockman Definitely back to like 1 & 2! Shame they couldn't bring the others back too 


Annika Gabriella Brink I really loved CoE so perhaps they could alternate between a longer running season with a kind of "monster of the week"-story and then have a shorter season with one continous story. I also remember Jack and Gwen talk in the very first episode, how TW Cardiff is number 3, after one in London, one in Scotland and another one that were temporarily missing. Maybe they could build on that?

Kirsty Price One and Two they were the best.

Psyche Gry Christoffersen I loved CoE as well because of the suspenseful and dark writing. But I prefer procedural shows with stand alone episodes and a story arch that pops up every now and then.  Sticking to reality, if there's more Torchwood, I'd also like to meet the other branches, or maybe see a prequel from the younger days of Jack and Torchwood. That would be interesting I think.

Katja Armbruster I want for the first a regular base like the HUB. That was the thing I missed in Miracle Day. As long the story is good I am fine with both things.

Mel Purplemonkeydishwasher Bennett I don't mind. I actually really enjoyed Miracle Day, I thought it was the perfect.mix of terrifying, heartbreaking, clever and funny. As long as the story works for me, I'm happy. CoE was too painful for me to watch, but I loved the story arc. I wouldn't mind if they did little arcs, like Doctor Who used to do, that was incredible!

Nicola Stevens Definitely preferred series 1 and 2


There are so many avenues for Torchwood to return to, perhaps a series covering the Victorian era of Jack’s life.  A look at life from previous Torchwood’s, we’ve seen Yvonne Hartman’s Torchwood 1 fall to the Cybermen in Doctor Who, but what about Torchwood 2, Torchwood 4, there are so many opportunities for a series.  Although we know the reason for the hiatus, it doesn’t stop us thinking and hoping that one day Torchwood will return, but whether it has the same stars we’ve grown to love right from the first episode, or whether it has new characters, remains to be seen.  But the one thing we can always depend upon is that Torchwood will never be forgotten...


Special thanks to all those who put their thoughts to this debate we look forward to this continuing on here!
