John Barrowman and Bill Pullman to launch - Torchwood: Miracle Day at MIPTV 2011
John Barrowman and Bill Pullman will be heading to Cannes to promote the new series of hit sci-fi drama Torchwood at MIPTV 2011.
The fourth instalment, titled Torchwood: Miracle Day, is distributed by BBC Worldwide, and will be launched to buyers on Monday 4th April with the two stars attending the event alongside executive producer Julie Gardner.
Barrowman returns to lead the cast in his iconic role as Captain Jack Harkness, and is joined in the new series by film star Pullman, whose credits include Independence Day, While You Were Sleeping and Lost Highway.
Julie Gardner, Senior Vice President, Scripted, BBC Worldwide Productions, has worked on all four series of Torchwood, and her other credits include Life on Mars, Doctor Who and Casanova.
Her producing partner is Torchwood creator Russell T. Davies, who has scripted Miracle Day with an A-list team of writers including John Shiban (Breaking Bad, The X-Files), Doris Egan (House) and Jane Espenson (Game of Thrones, Battlestar Galactica, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer).
Torchwood: Miracle Day is produced by BBC Worldwide Productions for Starz Entertainment, BBC Cymru Wales and BBC Worldwide.
Featuring locations in the US and around the world, the plot sees a C.I.A operative (played by ER’s Mekhi Phifer) join forces with the team to investigate a global conspiracy that has put an end to human death, causing a population boom and resource crisis.
Pullman plays Oswald Danes, a convicted child killer who survives his own execution, and Eve Myles reprises her role as Gwen Cooper.
Steve Macallister, Managing Director of BBC Worldwide Sales & Distribution, commented, "We’re thrilled to have John Barrowman and Bill Pullman with us at MIPTV.
The fact that Torchwood: Miracle Day is able to attract such a high-calibre, international cast reflects the quality of the production – so it’s sure to prove popular with buyers again, along with the rest of our exciting drama slate."
In addition to Torchwood: Miracle Day, BBC Worldwide will also be presenting popular returning series Doctor Who (S6), the critically-acclaimed Luther (S2), series three of Being Erica, Primeval (S4 &5), and the second series of the BAFTA winning Misfits.
New dramas on this year’s MIPTV slate include ratings hit Upstairs Downstairs, which has already been re-commissioned for an extended second series; South Riding, starring David Morrissey and Anna Maxwell Martin; an adaptation of Sarah Waters’ best-selling novel, The Night Watch; star-studded sci-fi series Outcasts; and the Will Young-starring supernatural thriller Bedlam.

Dr who quotes cybermen Attack of the Cybermen
CyberLeader: Destroy her, DESTROY HER AT ONCE!
Peri: No, no, NO!
The Doctor: Wait! Let's discuss this shall we?
Peri: [stuttering] I agree.
CyberLeader: There is nothing to discuss.
The Doctor: If you want my co-operation, she must live!
CyberLeader: You cannot bargain, Doctor. It would be unfortunate if you were to be killed but we still would have your TARDIS.
[The Doctor runs over to the TARDIS console and punches a sequence into one of the keypads]
The Doctor: Not anymore, you don't. In precisely 20 seconds you and it will cease to exist.
CyberLeader: Release the woman.
The Doctor: How do I know that you won't cheat and change your mind?
CyberLeader: You have my word.
The Doctor: I'm not sure that's enough.
CyberLeader: Also, that of the CyberController.
The Doctor: But he was destroyed...
CyberLeader: No, merely damaged.
The Doctor: Where is he now?
CyberLeader: On our home planet, Telos.
The Doctor: I see.
Peri: Doctor!
CyberLeader: Correct, we can now time-travel. Set the co-ordinates for Telos!
CyberLeader: How did you know where to find us?
Lytton: You have a ship hidden on the dark side of the Moon, I tracked your transmissions.
CyberLeader: Inform Moon-base our signals are being detected, they must increase the distortion.
Lytton: You are quite safe, Earth authorities can't pick up your signals, it's beyond their technology.
Cyberman: You were capable?
Lytton: I am not from Earth.
CyberLeader: So you have said.
Cyberman: Where do you come from?
Lytton: Veta 15 in the star-system 690.
CyberLeader: What is the name of your satellite?
Lytton: Rifton 5.
Cyberman: Controller, our instruments register an irregular transmission from the TARDIS.
CyberController: Inform the CyberLeader, on-board it will be The Doctor attempting to inform the Time Lords of his destination.
Cyberman: The Time Lords will attempt to stop us.
CyberController: Whatever in their wisdom, they will be too late! Telos will have been destroyed and we shall have The Doctor's TARDIS

Dr who - Gallifreyan Regeneration cube?
This poster gave a report on forthcoming Doctor Who toys that were revealed at a toy fair in London. They revealed that the toys included a Build-your-own Sonic Screwdriver and Make-your-own Monster kits both of which sound like pretty great fun. But most interesting is surely what they described as a “Gallifreyan Regeneration Cube.”The girl didn’t know anything about it at all, but it’s important. She said it’ll be out at just before Christmas, so it’s certainly from the second half of the season. It’s a large, clear cube, big enough to fit a figure inside (so we can assume it’s big enough for a real person in the show). There are markings on the side of the cube’s walls, including a seal of Rassillon.
