Exclusive on next Torchwood series: 'Everyone must make a sacrifice'

THE TORCHWOOD team must make a sacrifice in the next series heading to our screens in the new year, according to actor Gareth David-Lloyd.

Gareth, who plays Ianto Jones in the hit Doctor Who spin-off, spoke to The Geek Files exclusively at The Memorabilia Show at the NEC, Birmingham.

In the first part of the interview, he told me how his ideal choice for the next Doctor would be Bill Nighy.

I now bring you the second part of my chat with the actor, who was at the event meeting fans of the programme.

Gareth had just finished filming the new series the day before he appeared at The Memorabilia Show.

I asked him what the next Torchwood season had in store. He said: "It's far more explosive and the team are a lot more vulnerable.

"It's one story over five days, a mini-season. Every episode ends on a cliffhanger. We will go back to the usual format for Season 4."

I pressed him for more details about what would happen in the mini-season. He said: "Everyone in the team has to make a sacrifice.

"The team are stripped of their creature comforts, they lose a lot of their technology through certain predicaments, all they have is themselves and each other.

"There are a lot of big stunts and special effects too."

The mini-season was filmed over four and half months and will go out sometime in the new year. A transmission date hasn't been fixed yet. There's been talk of screening the show over five consecutive days but it's not been finalised.

Stay tuned for further details as and when they emerge. I'll be sure to update you if any more information comes my way.
