What is Miracle Day?

Torchwood

To the Last Man

[Alan]

Awesome info Alan

Thank you. Happy to help.

What is Miracle Day?

Miracle Day is the day no-body is reported to have died all across the world...but then no-body dies the next day or the day after that and so on but the population count is still continuing to rise and mankind is going to consume itself unless Torchwood can find out what's caused people to stop dying and return things back to normal.

[Morgania]

Is it a Torchwood special mini-series then? That sounds interesting.

[Alan]

Is it a Torchwood special mini-series then? That sounds interesting.

It was the 4th series of Torchwood and there were 10 episodes. It broadcast on BBC One in the UK and STARZ in the US in 2011.

[Morgania]

Oh. Like how Children of the Earth is the name for season three.

I just starting watching Torchwood a few days ago.
