    Inside you there are two Chibnalls. One complains about cliche running up and down corridors and silly monsters. The other writes the Tsuranga Conundrum.

      @@TempoKong I mean, I'm not saying that Chibnall is the worst person ever and he killed my family. But it's a fact of life that no matter how safe you think you are, during a pandemic there's still substantial risk. And, again, persistent rumors of mental decline. Other actors were telling "cute stories" of how they had to help tell him his lines on set, and it was just deeply uncomfortable when you've heard the murmurs.

    Big Finish has done a lot with extending Torchwood, both beyond Miricle Day and in the Victoria Era, and although RTD would probably be respectful of the EU, I still don't wanna get some of BF's Torchwood stuff reconned.

    Alternate Torchwood sequel team pitch: Gwen Cooper, Luke Smith, Charlie Smith, Ashildr, and a new POV character (as well as Andy and Rhys, obviously). Gwen plays the mentor role that Jack filled and Ashildr provides the morally dubious immortal character. Also maybe Yaz and a once more returned Suzie. Is this a serious pitch or a joke pitch? Who knows.

    You mention Ianto being hinted to die around Fragments - if you read *The Writer’s Tale* that was the original plan. RTD had to tell Burn and Naoko that they wouldn’t be needed for S3 after he chose to spare Ianto instead.

      Also, to correct you on a broke canon, it is *not* Romana's K9 (K9MKII, as you claim) that is in the Australian K9. It's Leela's K9 (MKI)

      @@SamyulDavis honesty you need to do a broke canon on the many deaths of ianto .mainly because of torchwood shrouded written by Gareth David Lloyd and how it retcon and recontexulises the first two series etc and makes it more tragic and weird etc .and it also gives you a massive opportunity to bring him back in a way nobody has bothered with

    -a prequel show about Torchwood One, but unlike the audio series, good.

      Sean’s Alfred was basically 3 if he also had to deal with Gotham. I’d also be interested how a more physical doctor would go over in this day and age especially after all that business with the time war making him almost a pacifist when compared to the 3 who’s hands were rated E for everyone

      Most of the run time is tension building though, so it might not be everyones thing. Still give it a shot though, Children of Earth is what the rest of the show wished it had been.
