Russell says that Miracle Day is “bigger and bolder”
AOL TV has released a new interview with Russell T Davies, in which he says that the new Torchwood is simply “bigger and bolder” than the three series before it.
“Miracle Day is very much a continuation of Children of Earth,” he explains. “You’ll sense the same spirit, you’ll feel the same drive behind it, and it is literally bigger. And it’s not just because we’ve got a bigger budget. It’s not about a bigger budget. We would have made this story, taken these risks, in Britain.”
Regarding Jack and Gwen’s reunion, he divulges: “It’s a long time since they’ve seen each other, circumstances bring them together. Whether that’s a good or bad thing remains to be seen. In some ways they’re clicking like they were in the old team.”
He goes on to reveal something very interesting about Jack, which we’ve hidden below…
He teases: “He’s literally, physically different. He’s mortal. Everyone else is immortal, he’s mortal. It’s the biggest switch in the show, which we did to give us new insights into Jack. It’s not fundamentally altering the character, it’s fundamentally altering the rules – the character stays the same, that’s the glorious thing. The idea is to put them in situations where there are new rules, new trials, new victories, new losses, and see who they are, that’s the point. That’s what they’re there for, these fictional people.”

@badwolfjen
Be careful with what you say, there’s a reason the spoiler is hidden and you’ve now spoilt it for me.:-(
ive just been spoilered i didnt want to no that and now i do thanks a lot!!!!
@Jack and Shawn, remember the choice was yours, you didnt HAVE to read it if you didnt want to. You cant blame others for your reading the spoiler ! Thats why its on a “Click” marked “show spoiler” ! Neither of the 2 posts above have said what it is so I cant see what you have to moan about !
@Jazzy1969
No, it’s ok – the first poster accidentally posted the spoiler ih their post! They’ve edited it now.
Having (unwittingly) seen the spoiler, my personal feeling is – I don’t like it. As an ideait’s good, but it doesn’t right. I await being impressed…I know the Americans get it in July, but when will we see it? Are the Beeb still showing it?
@Jazzy1969
the first post someone wrote had the spoiler wrote out i didnt click the link as im staying away from spoilers but they seem to have edited there comment cos it dosent say on it now but its too late its been spoiled for me without even looking at the link
OH MY GOODNESS
What a brilliant spoiler
Now im even MORE excited for Miracle Day
Yeah, I accidentally spoilered myself when I read this, lol, so I let Whoviannet know it was around, so they could edit it if they wanted to.
It is quite the spoiler and initially I was a bit annoyed at myself for accidentally reading it, but now I’ve had time to think about it, it is actually a great spoiler about what’s going to happen and it still doesn’t reveal everything, so that’s hopeful for Season 4
@Emerald and Shawn
Sorry about all that then ! By the time I had posted, the editing of that 1st post had already been done.
In terms of the “Spoiler” itself…how does that work ? Not sure I like the idea personally unless its properly explained in the storyline…
