- During a guest slot hosting BBC Radio 2, John Barrowman mentioned that Torchwood will return in 2008. He also played the song "Love Don't Roam" featured on the soundtrack to The Christmas Invasion.
- Peter "PJ" Hammond, author of the Torchwood episode Small Worlds which featured fairies, said in a recent interview that the Torchwood production team would like him to write another "supernatural" story for series two. Hammond also wrote an outline for Paradise Five, an un-produced submission which would have formed part of The Trial of a Time Lord storyline of Doctor Who.

Featured Article
The Tenth Doctor came into existence after the Ninth Doctor absorbed all the energy of the Time Vortex, an act which began destroying every cell in his body, triggering a regeneration. He spent most of his time sleeping during the events of the Sycorax invasion of Earth while recovering from his regeneration. Like his predecessor, the Tenth Doctor is capable of boundless enthusiasm, though in his case often at inappropriate times. He retains and even exceeds the Ninth Doctor's capacity for righteous anger, especially when Rose is threatened, though he is more guarded when speaking of their future together. While he seems to have resolved the survivor guilt felt by the Ninth Doctor, the Tenth is beginning to feel his age and, behind the outward playfulness, he feels a deep loneliness. His keen sense of loss leads him to empathise with those who have also suffered.
