I can’t wait for it to be released again! But I’m not too sure about the America thing… does that mean there’ll be less of our british humour? better not be =P
It’d be cool if they met the new Doctor or something like that…

>>proper crossover with Doctor Who and Torchwood.
I hope not, Not while the show (doctor who) is still and embarrassment. Let them fire Moffat first.

I agree with King Ninja. Torchwood is an English show. Some of the shows from there translate well on American TV, But some we screw up in a big way. See the American “Red Dwarf” on YouTube. It was horrible. Torchwood is a great show and like Doctor Who, should never be Americanized. They both are great the way they are.

Great news,would like to see Martha and Mickey maybe, and Louis.

Ah good. Nice to see Torchwood back and furthermore nice to see Russel T Davies and Julie Gardner back!
More locations including the US, eh? Well, ok. Lets just hope it doesn’t become to americanised. Nothin’ wrong with our buds over the Atlantic but it would be sad if the only way to ever sell a Brit series to the USA is to inlude America as much as poss. The amount of times we’ve sold ideas, changed formats and recast Brit actors for American ones for that end. I mean, an american no.6 in The Prisoner?! Hope they never try and make Dr Who an American show.
