help Torchwood FAQ
Is Torchwood set in London or Cardiff?
The original Torchwood team is based in Cardiff, operating from the Hub beneath Roald Dahl Plass. London becomes important in later stories, but describing the whole series as London-based misses its Welsh setting.
How is Torchwood connected to Doctor Who?
Torchwood is a Doctor Who spin-off led by Captain Jack Harkness, played by John Barrowman. The Torchwood Institute first entered the revived Doctor Who storyline before the separate series began in 2006.
Should Torchwood: Children of Earth be watched as a movie or regular season?
Children of Earth is the third series and tells one continuous story across five parts. Its conflict with the alien 456 is much more serialized than the case-of-the-week structure used in much of the first two series.
Why does Torchwood: Miracle Day feel different from the Cardiff seasons?
Miracle Day expands the story internationally after humanity suddenly becomes unable to die. It was produced with the US network Starz and adds American characters, locations and a ten-part serialized structure.
