Torchwood - Miracle Day DVD and Blue - RayOne day, nobody dies. All across the world, nobody dies. And then the next day, and the next, and the next, people keep ageing - they get hurt and sick - but they never die. The result: a population boom, overnight.
With all the extra people, resources are finite. It’s said that in four month's time, the human race will cease to be viable. But this can’t be a natural event – someone’s got to be behind it. It’s a race against time as C.I.A. agent Rex Matheson investigates a global conspiracy. The answers lie within an old, secret British institute. As Rex keeps asking “What is Torchwood?" he’s drawn into a world of adventure, and a threat to change what it means to be human, forever.

Miscellanious News- John Barrowman: 'I'd happily play Jack forever!' - What's on TV
"This is going to sound really cheesy, but I don't care. I didn't ever expect to be involved in Doctor Who and now Torchwood as someone with an American accent, but the fact that Captain Jack was embraced by the British public, and that I, as an openly gay man, play a huge action hero is absolutely one of the biggest gifts that could ever have been given to me. I'm proud to represent that community, but Jack has become a hero to everybody, which is what makes me so thrilled. If someone said to me, 'John, you are only going to play Captain Jack Harkness for the rest of your life', I would be content".... - Interview: Noel Clarke, actor - The Scotsman
"I think people have very short memories, and there's a big misconception about me. I was in Doctor Who, running away from creatures being the sweet boyfriend of Billie Piper, and I was in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, before that, being the cheeky charming chappie, so I don't understand why people are surprised when they see me go back and do stuff like Huge"... - Peter Davison ('Law & Order: UK') interview - CultBox

Doctor Who: a celebration of Jon Pertwee, Jon Pertwee (aka 'The Tall Lightbulb', Worzel Gummidge, and 'The Pert One') played the Third Doctor as a hybrid of Jeeves and Wooster. The confidence bordering on arrogance, the fondness for the finer things, the frequenting of gentlemen's clubs (not that kind of gentlemen's club. Probably) and a keen sense of idealism are all traits he shares with Bertie Wooster.....
