Criação e história da série

É uma agência governamental criada pela Rainha Vitória, e responsável por buscar qualquer fenômeno sobrenatural que possa ocorrer no Reino Unido, estudando e neutralizando qualquer possível ameaça que possa surgir a partir destes, bem como conseguir tecnologia alienígena para uso próprio (sua origem é detalhada no episódio Tooth and Claw de Doctor Who).
Em 2002, antes de reviver Doctor WhoRussell T. Davies começou a desenvolver uma idéia para uma nova série de ficção científica/drama, no estilo de Buffy e Angel.
Esta idéia foi inicialmente nomeada como Excalibur e foi abandonada até 2005, quando a BBC convidou Davies a criar uma série de ficção científica.


Durante a produção, em 2005, a palavra "Torchwood" (um anagrama de "Doctor Who"), foi usada pra despistar, evitando assim maiores atenções sobre o projeto e que as fitas fossem interceptadas vazando antes da hora na mídia.

Em um anúncio feito em 17 de Outubro de 2005, o executivo da BBC, Stuart Murphy, descreveu Torchwood como "sinistra e psicológica, além de muito moderna." Davies ainda teria descrito a mesma como "uma série de ficção científica britânica paranóica, com um toque de humor. Sombria, selvagem e sexy."







INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP SECURES NEW SERIES OF TORCHWOOD



Key cast - John Barrowman (Capt. Jack), Eve Myles (Gwen) – to return for the next installment, along with new faces

Monday 7th June 2010

BBC Cymru Wales, BBC Worldwide and US premium entertainment network, Starz Entertainment, have today announced a three way co-production partnership that will develop a new series of the hit BBC sci-fi drama Torchwood. BBC Worldwide will also distribute the series to broadcasters globally.
The 10-episode instalment will be written by a team led by Torchwood creator, Russell T Davies, and produced by BBC Worldwide Productions. Davies and BBC Worldwide Productions’ SVP Scripted, Julie Gardner, return as executive producers with BBC Worldwide Productions EVP Jane Tranter. The series has been commissioned by Controller BBC ONE, Jay Hunt, Controller BBC Drama, Ben Stephenson, and Starz President and CEO, Chris Albrecht.
While previous series were based on location in Cardiff, Wales, this new instalment will see storylines widen to include locations in the U.S. and around the world. John Barrowman and Eve Myles will return in their roles as Captain Jack and Gwen respectively, along with new faces.
Announcing the commission, Ben Stephenson, Controller, BBC Drama Commissioning said: "We have a long history of working with many U.S. networks but it is incredibly exciting to be working with Starz for the first time, as well as to be reunited with the best of British in Russell, Jane and Julie. Torchwood will burst back onto the screen with a shocking and moving story with global stakes and locations that will make it feel bigger and bolder than ever"
Jane Tranter, EVP, BBC Worldwide Productions, added: "Torchwood has attracted remarkable attention and loyalty in both the UK and U.S., and in this new partnership with Starz, the next chapter will not only reward our current fans, but also introduce new viewers to the most impressive instalment yet."
"We're committed to programming exceptional television that is entertaining, imaginative and provides a premium TV experience, and by any measure the new concept for Torchwood fits that mandate," Starz, LLC, President and CEO Chris Albrecht said. "I've been part of successful partnerships with Jane Tranter and the BBC previously, and I'm very much looking forward to working with them again."
Torchwood is a drama that puts extraterrestrial threats into a very real world, and asks how humanity deals with the danger - while fighting mankind's darkest instincts. The series was originally commissioned and produced in 2006 by BBC Cymru Wales, with the latest high octane series capturing UK audiences of more than 6 million.
BBC Worldwide has distributed previous Torchwood series around the world to territories such as Korea, Japan, Italy, Spain, Israel, Russia and across Latin America.

About Me

My photo
I am one of those guys with a fat address book - maybe because all my friends tell I'm charming and clever! But as far as I´m concerned, friendship is a club of seven people which was fully by the time I was 25. We all share the same interests, and we don´t make any demands on one another in emotional terms - which is something I would avoid like the plague. It´s not that I don´t like making new friends easily...They have to cativate me at first...We all grew up in the same social, professional and geographical world that we now occupy as adults. The group of seven offers me as much security and intimacy as I require!
