'He needs someone! He always needs someone, he just can't admit it.'Gareth Roberts followed up his brilliant story of The Lodger with Closing Time, a tale of friendship, Cybermen and the triumph of human emotion.

Unfortunately someone hacked this site in July, due to work commitments it has taken me a while to get the site functioning again. Unfortunately this has meant we have the whole second part of series 2 to catch up with.
I will try to get the site back up to date in the next 4 weeks.
May I apologise once again for the idiot who decided to crash the site.
Thank you all for your support.

Torchwood - Miracle day

The highly anticipated series of Torchwood – Miracle Day, starring John Barrowman and Eve Myles, starts on Thursday 14 July on BBC One. The new series created by Russell T Davies welcomes Mekhi Phifer, Bill Pullman and Alexa Havins, plus recurring guest stars Arlene Tur and Lauren Ambrose.
One day, nobody dies. All across the world, nobody dies. And then the next day, and the next, and the next, people keep aging – they get hurt and sick – but they never die. The result: a population boom, overnight.
With all the extra people, resources are finite. It's said that in four months' time, the human race will cease to be viable. But this can't be a natural event – someone's got to be behind it. It's a race against time as CIA. agent Rex Matheson investigates a global conspiracy. The answers lie within an old, secret British institute. As Rex keeps asking "What is Torchwood?" he's drawn into a world of adventure, and a threat to change what it means to be human, forever.
Torchwood: Miracle Day is produced by BBC Worldwide Productions for BBC Cymru Wales, Starz and BBC Worldwide.

It's well established that the Doctor has a soft spot for good music and magical moments in history, so he would definitely have enjoyed the Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular.
BBC Three is currently repeating some of the Tenth Doctor's adventures which means that for a limited period, several will be available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
History will be made this weekend as the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Ben Foster, performs Murray Gold's thrilling music from the two most recent series of Doctor Who.
This year's Script to Screen competition recently launched, giving teams of primary school children the chance to see their own Doctor Who script turned into a mini-adventure for television.
