| ==Story numbering==
| | {{ArchCat}} |
| I took out the story numbering in the infobox for now, as we don't know yet whether this is a single 5-part story, or 5 interconnected stories. If it's only a single story - with 3 writers - then it should only have a single story number. (Shades of the Trial of a Time Lord argument). [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 14:17, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

| ::[http://io9.com/5296969/torchwood-still-saving-the-uk-before-the-us Descriptions of the series] and comments by RTD seem to imply that this is a single, 5 part story. --[[User:Raukodraug|Raukodraug]] 18:58, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

| == Episode number == | | == British Government table and hitler == |
| | | When the British Government were in talks about how best to give ten percent of the children of earth to [[The 456]], there was a man present at the table who resembled Hitler, this may go to show the similarities between the members of The Cabinet's actions and the Nazis. What do you guys think? Also while I'm here, is there a list of actors on this wikia who have played more than one role in Doctor Who?

| I thought you might just want to put somewhere that there were originally going to be 13 episodes, but it was cut to 5.[http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/tv/2507880/BBC-ditched-Torchwood.html Source] --Sgtcook 19:55, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

| == Episode title ==
| |
| | |
| Are you sure about that? Day one - Day five? Since there's already an episode called Day One, it doesn't make sense.
| |
| ::I might be making an assumption hear, but since the whole Series carries the title of ''Children of Earth'' then the individual episode titles of ''Day One'', ''Day Two'', etc may in fact best be considered sub-titles, such as ''Children of Earth: Day One'', ''Children of Earth: Day Two'', etc. --[[User:Raukodraug|Raukodraug]] 02:57, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

| Making pages for each individual episode is just the same as if you made a page for each individual classic Doctor Who episode.

| ==Series 3 as a Single Story==
| |
| Currently Series 3 is being treated as a single story, but shouldn't the three Radio plays that came out this week also be considered part of Series 3, just like [[TW]]: [[Lost Souls]] is considered part of Series 2? I'm thinking that the information on this page should be moved to a [[TW]]: [[Children of Earth]] page and that this page should be revised to be a proper Series 3 page along the lines of the [[Series 2 (Torchwood)]] page. --[[User:Raukodraug|Raukodraug]] 03:04, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

| | |
| Totally agree.. Each episode should have its own entry. [[User:Smokin Fish|Smokin Fish]] 14:52, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

| Audio dramas are not considered part of the TV season, so should be treated separately. Lost Souls wasn't considered part of Series 2 - what is the source for that claim??? [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 15:04, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
| |
| :Well, these aren't CD based Audio Dramas. They are radio plays produced and aired on BBC Radio. As for my source it is simply that [[Lost Souls]] is currently listed on the [[Series 2 (Torchwood)]] page and that both that radio episode and that the three new radio episodes all have Series 2 listed in their infoboxes by previous editors. I tend to be inclined to treat them as part of the series seeing as how they air on the BBC (yes, radio, but they still air). Whether that is the correct interpretation or not can be discussed though.
| |
| :My primary concern in this is consistency of the Series pages. The fact that the [[Series 3 (Torchwood)]] page has an episode infobox and is completely inconsistent with the [[Series 1 (Torchwood)]] and [[Series 2 (Torchwood)]] pages is what I'm mostly wondering about. Before I go and make a significant edit to bring it all in line I wanted to open a bit of discussion --[[User:Raukodraug|Raukodraug]] 02:15, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

| ::There needs to be something a bit more substantial, such as an announcement by the BBC that these audios are actually part of the season. The Paul McGann audio adventures are being broadcast by BBC Radio as well, but that doesn't mean they constitute a Season 27+ . I haven't seen CoE here in Canada yet, so if the miniseries features characters introduced in the audios, or reference the events featured, then that changes things a bit. Or if they're included in the DVD release. [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 16:47, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

| == Date for Start of Children of Earth on Space in Canada ==
| |
| | |
| Space is airing Children of Earth starting the 20th of July at 10pm ET/ 7PM PT. Then on the 25th they are airing Planet of the Dead. If you don't believe me, there is a banner on the Space website here [http://www.spacecast.com]

| ==Coincidence==
| |
| On the radio times cover Ianto is standing on a block marked 4, he died in episode 4. Rhys was standing on the block marked 5 could he die in episode 5?!
| |
| | |
| ==Consistency==
| |
| Edited the page to match the format for the [[Series 2 (Torchwood)]] page. Some of the additional material focused on '''Children of Earth''' television story makes it feel a little bulky, but the page was such a departure from its predecessors that I wanted to start getting it organized. --[[User:Raukodraug|Raukodraug]] 14:39, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

| ==Jack==
| |
| At the moment, the article states "except Jack who can't die.". But he can, and does with remarkable regularity. He simply doesn't stay dead. Without getting into a Highlander based monologue on immortality, surely he's more infinitely-resurrected-Jack, rather than Can't-die-Jack?
| |
| | |
| ==Redundancy of words==
| |
| | |
| I'm not allowed to edit this article, so would someone address the line
| |
| | |
| "''Children of Earth'' was broadcast in five episodes broadcast over five consecutive nights."
| |
| | |
| It'd be far easier on the eye of it was "''Children of Earth'' was broadcast as five episodes over consecutive nights."
| |
| | |
| The use of consecutive surely removes the need to say five twice....

| == Date == | |
| | |
| [[Special:Contributions/80.41.82.239|80.41.82.239]] 16:58, 20 July 2009 (UTC)There's been an error as to when "Children of Earth" takes place. In "Day Two", Ianto picks up a newspaper which clearly reads "September 2009" on the date, therefore, the majority of action takes place in 2009, and the "six months later" segment ought to be dated as March 2010, instead of March 2009.
| |
| | |
| :There's a similar %$#& up on a lot of the articles on this wiki, some say it's in September 2009 (thus making the epilogue in March 2010), others say it's in September 2010 (making the epilogue March 2011), Hell, I think I even saw September 2011 listed as the date on an article --[[User:Blackstone Dresden|Blackstone Dresden]] 07:48, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

| This IS true isn't it? It's set in 2009, correct? Is there a reason it says 2010? I have changed it to 2009,however it was undone, i sincerely hope i have not overlooked anything. [[User:HollyM|HollyM]] 12:14, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

| People, lets all remember what happened in [[Aliens of London]], the first episode Rose and scenes in the next two episodes were set in the year 2005, however when the Doctor drops off Rose home in [[Aliens of London]], he miscalculated 12 hours for 12 months, so Aliens of London was broadcast in 2005, yet was set in 2006. This precedent has continued for a long time, such as [[The Stolen Earth]] being broadcast in 2008 and set in 2009, and Torchwood has been shown to follow this precedent as it intertwined in the episode the Stolen Earth making every Torchwood episode one year ahead of broadcast date, so Children of Earth is broadcast in 2009, hence it is set in 2010.

| I know Rhys did say 44 years from 1965, but this has been attributed to a continuity error, and as such should not be considered canon. [[User:MercM|MercM]]
