Torchwood May Return

Any keen sci-fi fans out there will probably be familiar with Torchwood, the less family friendly spin off from Doctor Who, written by Russel T. Davies. It's basically part X-Files, part A-Team, and part Micheal Bay film. The series has had 4 runs now, and it's been suggested that a fifth may be yet to come.

The last series, which was basically a 10 part long episode, covering what would happen if everybody stopped dieing due to a crack in the Earth developing an addiction to the immortal stars blood.

Yes, this really was the climax.

The thing that made this series different from the others, apart from the whole blood crack thing, was that it was a British/American collaboration, with Starz working alongside the BBC.

Starz's Chris Albrecht has said that Torchwood is "not one of the shows we went into thinking about an annual return", with head writer and former head writer of Doctor Who being unable to write due to a busy schedule.

But now Chris Albrecht has told Multichannel News that if Davies' schedule clears, then maybe another series could be put into production. Davies schedule has been busy at the moment mostly due to his partner Andrew Smith being diagnosed with Brain Cancer, and has began a small product for the CBBC, which will be Aliens Vs. Wizards, hinting that he may be returning to work soon.

John Barrowman and Eve Myles, who play Captain Jack Harkness and Gwen Cooper respectively, have previously stated interest in returning, the only problem is, if it does return, are either of them going to make it to the end? Torchwood hasn't exactly got a track record for long running characters...
