==Broadcast date==
No offence to "Den of Geek", or to John Barrowman for that matter, but we cannot possibly suggest any broadcast dates for Series 4 at this time. They don't even have a production schedule yet. [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 00:48, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Shouldn't the article be named 'Miracle Day (Torchwood serial)'? Same goes for '[[Series 3 (Torchwood)]]', that should be named 'Children of Earth (Torchwood serial)'. {{User:Rassilon of Old/Sig}} 06:47, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

:::It's called both. Yes, it's subtitled Miracle Day, but this is no different to Power Rangers for example - Power Rangers Zeo was season 4 of Power Rangers.

No, it was called Miracle day in '''all''' of the promotional and marketing material. The name of the show is called Torchwood: Miracle Day, not Torchwood Series 4. The names do need changing.

::Yes, it's a valid name, but is it the most valid? No. Of course in box sets containing all four series are going to refer to them as Series 3 and Series 4, but if you look at the individual sets, which I have done, they are called Miracle Day and Children of Earth, not 'The Complete Series/Season 3' or any similar title, because that isn't its name. {{User:Rassilon of Old/Sig}} 10:15, October 3, 2011 (UTC)


Says Andrew Cartmel is writing "The Jinx" for series 4. Should it go in the rumours folder, or the official writers folder? [[User:N3onkn1ght|N3onkn1ght]] 04:13, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
Five months on, my point still stands. I think the article(s) should be renamed. {{User:Rassilon of Old/Sig}} 09:39, February 9, 2012 (UTC)
* Better not either. Just because a script has been submitted or commissioned doesn't mean it'll get made. See [[Stephen Fry]] and [[Moris Farhi]]. [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 03:54, February 7, 2010 (UTC)


==Article premature?==
:This article is for information relating to the fourth series of Torchwood, Miracle Day is specifically the 10 episodes that were broadcast.
I'm starting to wonder if the article is premature. Barrowman (per [http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.com/2010/02/barrowman-not-drawn-on-torchwoods.html]) appears to be recanting whether there will be a Series 4. If he's doing Desperate Housewives he might not be available, and there's also the question of an American series. I'm not quite read to toss a proposed deletion tag on this, because there is some information to be had (i.e. the Cartmel item above), but there is a lot of unsourced speculation here, too. We should seek consensus but I would be happy to perhaps condense this all down into a subsection of the main Torchwood article until the BBC actually announces whether it's making it. We know Sarah Jane is going into production, but there's been little said for certain about Torchwood. [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 03:53, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
:Much like [[Season 16 (Doctor Who 1963)|Season 16]] was released as "The Key to Time", we use the season number, the case is the same with [[Season 23 (Doctor Who 1963)|Season 23]] which is referred to as "The Trial of a Time Lord". In the former it's the name of the how the stories were packaged when released on VHS/DVD and in the latter it's the name of the story that covers the length of the season. In both cases the article covers information from throughout the season. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 12:25, February 9, 2012 (UTC)

Please, please, ''please'' never let this happen. I know what happened to the superbly brilliant Life on Mars when it got 'ported' to the US, and the result is just... ''horrible''.

Rhys and the baby will be featured.
 
Episode titles include "Badlands" "Gates of Heaven" "The Thin Red Line" and "The New World." (The New World seems like an overarching title a la "Children of Earth")
 
Rex is as of yet uncast.

== Who will die next? ==
 
Not to sound cynical but we all know its going to happen (unless RTD has an original dark idea) that one or more charecters will be killed off. So who do you think will be next? Bare in mind you can not include Jack for obvious reasons and we all know Gwen is RTD's favourite so she wont go. Me personally I believe Andy will be the next to die has he is almost a memeber of the team. Has for the new charecters I would give them at best a season, and at worst they will be all if not dead by the end. Im not trying to dis RTD but lets face it the man has a habbit of leaving dea bodies through this show. Might as well rought for the bad guys in this season:>

This article is for information relating to the fourth series of Torchwood, Miracle Day is specifically the 10 episodes that were broadcast.
Much like Season 16 was released as "The Key to Time", we use the season number, the case is the same with Season 23 which is referred to as "The Trial of a Time Lord". In the former it's the name of the how the stories were packaged when released on VHS/DVD and in the latter it's the name of the story that covers the length of the season. In both cases the article covers information from throughout the season. --Tangerineduel / talk 12:25, February 9, 2012 (UTC)
