Torchwood crew are jet lagged

Given that most of the cast and key crewmembers are jetlagged, it seemed appropriate that their first day of filming should be at an airport. Scenes featuring John Barrowman, Eve Myles, Dichen Lachman, and Tom Price were filmed today at the British Airways maintenance facility at Cardiff airport. Despite the secure location, a few snippets slipped out, the least surprising being: it was cold out there on the tarmac.

They had an early start, with Dichen up at 3:30am. At that point, none of us knew where they'd turn up. Clues emerged: sightings of "BM" unit signs near the airport, and then a tip-off from the flying club next door.

A tantalising photo of the action was snapped by a bystander. Tom Price treated us to a pic of himself as Andy Davidson, revealing the day's most exciting news: PC Andy is now Sergeant Andy.

It seems today's scenes are from episode 2, directed by Billy Gierhart.

John Barrowman, playing Captain Jack on Welsh soil for the fist time in 2 years, seemed delighted that fans had turned out for the filming, despite the inaccessible location.

Let's hope that the next few days bring them back into Cardiff. I'm with Jack on this: "The 21st century's when it all changes, and I hate the commute."

Torchwood quotes children of the earth day 2

PC Andy: If she's anti-terrorist, I would not mind being Uncle Terrorist.
PC Andy: She shot the wheels. What kind of "terrorist" shoots your wheels, hm?
Johnson: A clever one.
Rhys: This changes everything.
Gwen: No. No, it doesn't. We're up the same creek and we still need a paddle.
Rhys: Yeah! But three of us in a boat.

Idw bring back doctor comic

IDW Publishing have announced their range of Doctor Who Comics will follow the Eleventh Doctor's travels from January 2011. These all-new, full colour adventures will also feature his companions Amy and Rory.

Issue One finds the trio battling holographic spam and 'friending' requests on a planet that is hours from destruction by an alien race. It is penned by writer Tony Lee, no newcomer to the Doctor's world having written many of the Tenth Doctor adventures for IDW. Story art is provided by Andrew Currie, and cover art by another long-term contributor Tommy Lee Edwards. There will also be two incentive covers, one by Eisner Award winner Mark Buckingham, and the other by Kelley Yates - the latter featuring a gatefold cover opening out to reveal the TARDIS.

Future issues will see plots involving Jack the Ripper, penalty shoot-outs against Vikings and Cybernetic Space Pirate Dinosaurs, plus the return of a classic villain - says Tony Lee:
I could tell you who they are, but I'd have to kill you. Let's just say we've been given special dispensation to use them, and we have a killer story - in all senses of the word!
