eve-kai-discuss-the-future-of-torchwood

Eve Myles and Kai Owen have been discussing the future of Torchwood in a recent Q&A with the Independent.

Although the cast and crew are said to be “still waiting” to hear news about the show’s return, the actress echoed John Barrowman’s comments about a film being the right way to go. “I think the next step would be a movie,” she said. “We change every year. We have to change every year to keep it fresh and different. With Torchwood, we can live up to the name that you never know what you’ll get.”

Meanwhile, her co-star, who plays Rhys in the series, revealed that he hopes there’s no end in sight for the show. He explained: “It’s the best job ever. If they wanted to do five more years of Torchwood, and I was lucky enough to be part of it, I’d do it every time.”

Miracle Day is released on DVD/Blu-ray on Monday, alongside a Series 1-4 boxset.

julie-says-all-options-are-possible-for-torchwood

Julie Gardner has been discussing the future of Torchwood with Assignment X, explaining that, while nothing has been set in stone yet, “all options are possible” for the series.

“I don’t know if there will be more,” she said. “Time will tell. It’s always had a labyrinthine history. I think it’s so elastic in some ways, and it’s had a strange life. It’s been across so many different channels and had international audiences, so there’s no single way forward for the show. All options are possible.”

Eve Myles has recently said that “there is life” left in the show, while John Barrowman thinks a movie’s the “next progression”. Where do you want to see Jack and Gwen?

The NZ Herald has a new interview with Eve Myles about all things Torchwood, during which she reveals that “there is life” in the series beyond Miracle Day.

“I thought after Children of Earth, how do you top that? If you can’t top it, don’t come back,” she said. “What we try to do every year is tell a different story. Some might like the more alien stuff, some might like the domestic stuff, but you can’t ever say it will be boring or samey. As long as there’s Russell T Davies, there is life in Torchwood.”

About how being involved with Torchwood has changed her life, she explained: “I can’t quite put it into words. There isn’t a second that goes by when I am doing my job where I don’t grab hold of every inch of it and try to absorb it and enjoy it more. Because it is massive. It’s huge. When I’m not on the job I am talking about the job – and all I talk about is Gwen Cooper, and I hope I never, ever take it for granted.”

John Barrowman recently revealed that he thinks a movie is the “next progression”.

Miracle Day reached its dramatic conclusion in the UK on BBC One on Thursday night, with an audience of 3.9million tuning in for its final instalment.

According to the Telegraph, the episode was “very talky”, and they have praised Eve Myles in particular for her “bravura performance”. The Guardian admits that the series climaxed “with actually quite a bit of class”, and the Independent also agrees that it “was rounded off in supreme style”. SFX have given the “irritatingly vague” episode 2.5 out of 5.

Elsewhere, Radio Times has said The Blood Line “suffered from uneven pacing, careless characterisation and a lack of focus”, but do you agree? Was the finale a worthy ending?

So, that’s it for Torchwood: Miracle Day! Thanks to everyone who has commented/rated in our discussions over the last 10 weeks. We’ll have to wait and see if Jack and Gwen will be back for more, but, in the mean time, you can relive the Miracle over at our mini-site!
