Torchwood writer John Fay discusses Series 4
Writer John Fay (Torchwood: Children Of Earth, Robin Hood) has spoken about his work on Torchwood's upcoming fourth series.
Fay wrote two episodes of the show's third series, which aired in 2009, and has written Episode 9 of Torchwood: Miracle Day, which will begin this July on BBC One and the Starz channel in the US.
Answering questions earlier today in a web chat for the Liverpool Daily Post & Echo, Fay revealed: "I can tell you a lot of my ep is set in Wales, and has already been shot."
Asked how he found the Miracle Day writers' room, he replied: "Daunting! The other writers in the room were phenomenal."
Questioned about how the new series will differ from the first three series, he commented: "Russell and Julie Gardner remain in charge, so I think it'll still have the same basic tone. There are more American characters in it, so obviously it'll probably feel more American."
Fay went on to discuss working with Torchwood creator Russell T Davies and how he feels about Davies' notorious rewrites: "Ep 2 of [Children Of Earth] is all mine I think. He moved a bit of his Ep 5 onto the back of my Ep 4, and wrote an extra scene between the PM and his adviser, but that was pretty much it. I can't speak for the new series yet because I haven't seen it."
He added: "With RTD it's not a problem. Apart from anything else, he's a great writer and he's the boss. I have been re-written by some lesser writers in the past though. And that does piss you off!"

In a small village in Norfolk, former astronaut Lady Millicent Ferril has established an observatory, tracking a meteorite from the Cronquist System. It is a meteorite that almost killed her years before – and perhaps left her not entirely human.

Moffat talks red nose day.....
Amy Pond meets Amy Pond. Steven Moffat reveals what part Doctor Who is going to be playing on Red Nose Night
A new mini-adventure of Doctor Who is going to be playing an important role on Red Nose Day on 18 March, and showrunner Steven Moffat has given SFX the inside skinny on what’ll be happening:
“Two episodes. Two mini-episodes. Very, very small episodes – maybe eight minutes in total, so that’s around four minutes each. It’s not a spoof. It’s in the style of the ones that we’ve done for Children In Need, so it’s taken seriously as a proper bit of Doctor Who – funny, but not a sketch. A little miniature story. One’s called ‘Space’ and one’s called ‘Time’, so they’re Space & Time. And there’s a moment with two Amy Ponds in it. If you’re a red-blooded male surely that’s enough! You’ve got Amy Pond flirting with herself.”
This is just your personal fantasy, isn’t it?
“It’s everybody’s personal fantasy! I’m really, really pleased with them. I think they’re really good, really very funny. It’s Matt, Karen and Arthur, and there isn’t a guest character. It’s just the three of them. A moment of life aboard the TARDIS. But obviously life about the TARDIS instantly gets you into terrible jeopardy, and all of causality is threatened. As I’m sure it is every day when they get up and have their coffee…”
