Web of Lies

File:Torchwood Web of Lies - Gwen

Web of Lies is a "motion comic"-style Torchwood animated serial. It was released online and on Apple iOS devices concurrently with series 4. It ties in with the events of Torchwood: Miracle Day. It has elements interactive with the story, particularly puzzles that unlocked portions of the story as the game/story progressed.

It also makes a small mention to one of the Torchwood Three team members who is deceased by the time of the Miracle, Toshiko "Tosh" Sato. A shocking surprise is that the Three Families have been keeping track of Jack and are curious to see how far his immortality goes for resurrecting him. They also copy the Retcon drug Torchwood uses, making a gaseous version of it for effectiveness (as the pill method is not very reliable).

The two Torchwoods

Categorisation of our Torchwood material is done in two categories, because Torchwood is both the name of the series and the name of the central organisation within the series. If you're looking for information about the Torchwood Institute, go to Torchwood. If you want behind-the-scenes information, the top-level category is category:Torchwood (TV series).

So many branches, so many opportunities for sex with co-workers

Did you know that Torchwood is about more than just Captain Jack's little gang in Cardiff? That's just Torchwood Three. It's got multiple branches around Britain, and even an Indian subsidiary.

Bookworms

Just like its parent programme, Torchwood has spawned a range of novels and short stories. Writers known for their work with the classic version of Doctor Who have even written some of these prose stories, including former script editor Andrew Cartmel and prolific 1990s author Kate Orman.

The difference between personnel and crew

People who work for the fictional Torchwood Institute are called Torchwood personnel. People who work on Torchwood are called Torchwood crew.
