Torchwood: Children Of Earth – Not To Be Missed!

Running every night for 5 nights (Mon-Fri) starting July 20th 2009, Torchwood returns to our screens in a new story called Torchwood: Children Of Earth. This is a special one off mini series from the pen of Russell T Davis and promises to be something special. In fact I can tell you that this is high quality because I have already seen all 5 episodes when they were aired on BBC UK, 2 weeks ago. Believe me you wont be disappointed!

As you may already know Torchwood is a spin off of Doctor Who, but aimed more at the adult market, and although it has only produced a couple of series, it has been a great success in the Sci-fi world, as this mini series will now prove.

Children of Earth kicks off when all the children around the world come to a standstill, faces frozen in one voice saying the words “We are coming”, “We are coming”. The way this is done will send shivers down your spine, and is indeed cleverly done. What is coming exactly? Well this is where Torchwood comes in, as it’s their job to investigate things of an alien nature. Something is coming to earth. Is it friend or foe? You’ll just have to wait and see.

I don’t want to reveal too much about this now. Just sit back and enjoy these 5 episodes because quality like this does not come along too often for us Sci-Fi fans. Look out for it on BBC America every night this week at 9pm.

Now British shows are not known for big budget productions but Torchwood and Doctor Who proves that if you get the story right, then the end result will outshine a big budget, no story show every time.
I’m a big fan of the Doctor Who franchise and have been since I was a child, so when anything new connected to it comes along I am very critical. Torchwood: Children Of Earth did not disappoint and gets the thumbs up in my opinion.
