Torchwood is the sci-fi franchise which just will not die. Ten years after it debuted it’s now hard to quite believe that the BBC once commissioned a raunchy Doctor Who spin-off in which a bisexual immortal former Time Agent leads a ragtag team investigating alien incursions under the streets of Cardiff. But of course these were the glory days of the new incarnation of Doctor Who and, understandably, the BBC were keen to tap into as much of the show’s Russell T Davies-led alchemy as possible. Torchwood was always a mixed bag and the show only reached its full potential in the 2009 mini-series Children of Earth and with the drawn-out ten-part US co-production series Miracle Day in 2011 it looked as if the series had finally reached the end of the line.
