The New World was the first episode of the fourth series of Torchwood.

Synopsis

One day, nobody dies. All across the world, nobody dies. And then the next day, and the next, and the next, people keep ageing – they get hurt and sick, but they never die. The result: a population boom, overnight.

With all the extra people, resources are finite. It’s said that in four month’s time, the human race will cease to be viable. But this can’t be a natural event – someone’s got to be behind it. It’s a race against time as CIA agent Rex Matheson investigates a global conspiracy. The answers lie within an old, secret British institute. As Rex keeps asking: “What is Torchwood?”, he’s drawn into a world of adventure, and a threat to change what it means to be human … for ever. [6]

Story notes

  • Oswald Danes's release from prison is a reference to an old urban legend which claims that anyone who survives an execution is automatically set free. As this urban legend is actually untrue, the episode correctly depicts a series of legal pressures that lead to Danes's release, rather than Danes being released automatically because he survived.
