| ==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) |
| | :No need. [[Torchwood: Miracle Day]] and [[Torchwood: Children of Earth]] already redirect to the series 4 and 3 articles. [[User_talk:Digifiend|<font color="red" face="Trebuchet MS"><b>Digifiend</b></font>]] 01:49, September 19, 2011 (UTC) |
| | ::It doesn't matter, it isn't called Series 4 (Torchwood), it's called Miracle Day, and so the actual title of the article should reflect this. {{User:Rassilon of Old/Sig}} 05:40, September 19, 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. The seasons have individual names but are part of the same show. Likewise, Torchwood Miracle Day is Torchwood series 4. The names don't need changing.

| | ::::It is not called both. It is not 'subtitled' Miracle Day. It is entitled Torchwood: Miracle Day. On advertisements, was it called Torchwood Series 4? 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. And Power Rangers is completely irrelevant, this is Torchwood, not Power Rangers, a completely different television series with different production. {{User:Rassilon of Old/Sig}} 04:27, September 20, 2011 (UTC) |
| | :I was just using that as a comparison. The point is, Series 4 is a perfectly valid name for this series. There are box sets containing all four series due out. Guess what? CoE and MD are referred to as series 3 and 4! [[User_talk:Digifiend|<font color="red" face="Trebuchet MS"><b>Digifiend</b></font>]] 08:59, September 20, 2011 (UTC) |
| | ::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)

| ==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) |

| == 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:>

| == The Jack and Gwen show==
| |
| So let me get this straight the thing thats gonna bring Jack back to Earth is his "unsated love for Gwen Cooper">.< Well I guess we are gonna pretend the last three seasons didnt happen then? I guess Jack cant keep a promise to a dead man to save his life. If this was how it was going to be why didnt those two hook up to begin with it would have made the angst of the last two years vanish or are the writers hoping to make a Jack Gwen Rhys love triangle? No wonder the Save Ianto people are mega pissed off at the moment. : DynaStar 12

| New Books
| |
| | |
| | |
| They have started realising prequel books for the series, you can look at the details on Amazon. They are not being well receved so far. Seams the Ianto fans and the COE haters have gone from angry to apathetic. Seams Gwenwood is not that intresting. : One eyed Poney
| |
| | |
| ==Original or Remake==
| |
| Is this thing going to be a continuation of the series or an American duplicate because the newes is giving me mixed signal. One minit we have got the writers saying the show will have a British feel and then another group saying its American. I am worried because if they can make up their mind this will worse than the Life on Mars remake.
| |
| | |
| ==New Poster==
| |
| This permotional poster is confusing and to be honest just plain sucks. It has nothing to do with the plot in my opinion. I mean if I saw that with no knowledge of the plot I would think it means this season Earth has been turned in to a giant bomb. Seriously the olympics logo make more sense than this. -=-: The Last Angry Fan
| |
| | |
| How do you know that it has nothing to do with the plot. Since all that has been released is a brief synopsis about nobody dying, for all we know the Earth could be turned into a giant bomb. Its unlikely, but anything's possible.
| |
| | |
| That may be but I still wish they would give us a little more plot detail and stop teasing us with tidbits. The lack of deffinate information and detail is seriously worrying me about this new season. -=: The Last Angry Fan
| |
| | |
| Well at least the BBC can make a decent poster. I can now not watch and feel content they got at least one thing right. =: The Last Angry Fan

| == John Hart is a rumour ==
| |
| | |
| '''James Marsters has revealed that he is keen to reprise his role as Captain John Hart in the new series of Torchwood.'''
| |
| | |
| A fourth series of the Doctor Who spinoff is currently in production as part of a deal between BBC Worldwide, BBC Wales and US network Starz.
| |
| | |
| The actor told io9: "Russell [T. Davies is] over here [in LA] trying to get an American version of it done. If he doesn't call me, I am going to find him."
| |
| | |
| He added: "I'm into it, just ask Russell."
| |
| | |
| Marsters also confirmed his return to Smallville for the show's final season. However, he admitted that he has no knowledge of upcoming storylines.
| |
| | |
| "I assume [Clark is] going to kick my butt in the end," he joked. "He'll melt me or blow me up into the sun, or something!"
| |
| | |
| He explained that he is equally in the dark with regards to the future of his character Barnabus Greeley on Syfy drama Caprica.
| |
| | |
| "I have no idea. They tell me just as much as anyone has ever told me on television, which is nothing!" he quipped.
| |
| | |
| | |

| |
| :I agree with Revan; the disputed section is not a rumor, but a note. The section should be renamed as either "rumors/notes", or be split into a "rumors" section and a "notes" ssection. If he said he was returning, then it would be considered a rumor until the episode featuring him aired, right? That or it would be a rumor until the BBC officially released the info. Until the BBC officially releases the info, any claim that he is returning is to be treated merely as a rumor. However, that is not what we have here. What we have here is a "Gee, I wanna come back." That is simply an actor expressing his desire to return. If Tennant said "Gee, I wanna come back for a future series", would you automatically place him in the rumors list for Series 6 or claim that he might be returning for Series 7? No, of course not. You would know better than to do that. Just because he says he wants to return is just that: he says he wants to return. Nothing more. I cannot see how you are making the leap from "Gee, I wanna come back" to "Supposedly he is coming back." Care to explain a little bit more, because I am just not getting your argument. --[[User:Bold Clone|<span style="color:blue">'''Bold'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Bold Clone|<span style="color:gold">'''Clone'''</span>]] 19:30, April 18, 2011 (UTC)

| ::So you think a rumour is confirmed fact? Cause it's not. What you want is the BBC to confirm he is returning. If they did confirm his return, it would no longer be a rumour. He wants to be invloved in he new series, which makes it a rumour about the new series. Why don't we remove all the rumour of all the series page because the source says ''might'' or ''maybe'' or ''thinks''. Would do it? NO. because that is what a rumour is. A maybe, a might a think, all with a sited source. Which this has. This has no difference to any other rumour on this site.

| :Hardly. A rumor is an unconfirmed fact. You apparantly missed that...This isn't even that; its a confirmed ''wish''. He wants to be invloved in the new series, which makes it an irrelevant statement about the new series until someone says that he is actually returning. According to wiktionary, a rumor is "A statement or claim of questionable accuracy, from no known reliable source, usually spread by word of mouth." This is not that. This is a confirmed statement, with no question of its accuracy, coming from a reliable source. According to this, the "rumor" under discussion is actually a fact, not a rumor. Hmm. What I want is someone to say "hey, maybe he's coming back." THAT would make it a rumor. --[[User:Bold Clone|<span style="color:blue">'''Bold'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Bold Clone|<span style="color:gold">'''Clone'''</span>]] 20:11, April 18, 2011 (UTC)
