[yaaayoubetcha]

has the makings of another good show that will never see american airwaves....

sigh.

[Matt G]

I'll certainly give it a scan.

[Egeria]

^ Me too.

I suppose this news begs the question of whether the talk of JB returning for DW S3 still stands.

[The Kender]

This is so cool..i can't wait to see it

[Willow'sCat]

Ooh I love the sound of this, I love the sound of more Jack/John and in an adult setting. No cross-overs I guess time (no pun intended) will tell.

[Reefgirl]

ooh ooh I can't wait

[Indum'kra]

Yyyyyyeeeeeeeeesssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jbs not the kind of guy who would go back on his words. Perhaps this means he may only appear as a guest for maybe 1 episode.

[Egeria]

^ That's what I'm thinking as well. TBH i'd gladly sacrifice JB in DW, if it means that we get another RTD sci-fi show...with JB in it.

Oh I don't blame you feel the same way and I don't even know if Australia will be showing it! *The ABC better*

Oh do we know if this is going to be SciFi? It did say Drama a lot, I suppose if it is for a more mature time slot that Drama/SciFi could fit.

It's all a load of dingo's kidneys.

Evidence #1) Torchwood is the codename written on the tapes of new Doctor Who episodes during transport so that there isn't a repeat of 'Rose'.

Evidence #2)
