[edit] John Hart in more than one episode?

The trailer shown at the end of episode one shows John Hart saying a line ("is that all you people think about?") which was not in "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang", which suggests he'll be in at least one more story before the series is out. Kelvingreen (talk) 21:37, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure will appear in more episodes, but we don't know for how many and which episodes yet. — Edokter • Talk • 21:58, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] repeat dates

Do we know when the repeats will be. Most of the sources (like BBC press office) say the next day, but my guide doesn't have the repeat down for tomorrow. It is possible that this is a Socttish thing (In Scotland, BBC 2 on Thursday is manly Gaelic programmes) and that it will be shown another time. Do other schedules have it down for tomorrow? StuartDD contributions 21:53, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Yep, my (Dutch) TV guide has the pre-watershed repeat listed for tomorrow (thursday), followed by Torchwood Declassified. BBC also has full listings online, or check radiotimes.co.uk. — Edokter • Talk • 22:04, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, must just be a different day in Scotland. StuartDD contributions 22:07, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

There are no repeats for the edited Torchwood or any showing for Declassified in Scotland or Northern Ireland. They are replaced by local programming. Passing Scottish Bloke —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.200.8.38 (talk) 02:47, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 2009

In the artical it states the unconfirmed series - if confirmed - will air in 2009, is this sourced or just assumed.--Wiggs (talk) 10:34, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Just assumed I guess. No way of telling when it will air. — Edokter • Talk • 14:59, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Article just got updated, seems theres only five episodes next year! The source was American though. Digifiend (talk) 10:26, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Now confirmed by ITV Teletext. Digifiend (talk) 08:04, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Viewing figures

Do we really need the viewing figures for the series? I don't think that it is that important. If we are having them, Brief History provides the viewing figures on the episode pages, and is probably a better reference to use. StuartDD contributions 14:45, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree, they're not really needed, and already covered in the episode articles. — Edokter • Talk • 15:23, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
There's another problem that has arrisen with the viewing figures. From "Reset" onwards new episodes are shown on BBC 3 first and then BBC 2 the next week which will impact on the viewing figures. So are we to show the viewing firgures for BBC 2 (which will be higher), BBC 3 (lower), both or get rid of the viewing figures altogether? yettie0711 (talk) 17:28, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
That's why adding the ratings is a bad idea in the first place. Since BBC3 isn't a terrestrial channel, ratings are in no way representative, especially compared to the BBC2 ratings. I'm much for removing them alltogether. — Edokter • Talk • 00:34, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
I say remove the figures. StuartDD contributions 10:46, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Capitalisation of "out"

Please note that "out" in the title "From out of the Rain" should not be capitalised. "(From) out (of)" is a (composite) preposition and as such should be in lower case. Many sources mistakenly capitalise "out", but unless the producers of Torchwood confirm this as intended, standard capitalisation should be followed. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization) for more information. Thank you. — Edokter • Talk • 00:44, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

The BBC has the episode listed with the capitalisation, as I already pointed out to you. Therefore it is the official title (whether grammatical or not). Source is bbc.co.uk. Starhunterfan (talk) 00:50, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Headers

I just noticed that someone came in behind me and redid the very redundant header of "Torchwood episdoes." The title of this article is List of Torchwood episodes, so we do not need a header saying, again, that this is a list of Torchwood episodes. The seasons/series should be first level headers, not second. Look at other episode lists, and most will reflect the change I made. Let's discuss, since I really do not want a revert struggle to come from this. - LA @ 08:45, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

It's not quite redundant; it's a level-2 header which in turn has the induvidual series under level-3 headers; it's how list articles are organized in the Doctor Who project. See also List of Doctor Who serials and List of The Sarah Jane Adventures episodes. In fact, we try to do things a little bit different the other TV articles. — Edokter • Talk • 09:34, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Episode count

Love the new design but.. 21 episodes in Series 1 and 23 in Series 2? Is this a mistake? Even when counting spin-off media, the episode count doesn't reach that number. Shall I go ahead and change? Clockwork Apricot (talk) 22:36, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

I can't say I'm excited, it's way too... playfull? Wikipedia is about content, not so much design. Follow the lead of List of Doctor Who serials, which is a featured list. — Edokter • Talk • 22:44, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
^^; I was following List of Smallville episodes. Sorry... weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 08:23, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Well, are we removing the colours or toning them down? Seems to be the latter... '''[[User:WBOSITG|<font color="darkblue">weburiedoursecrets</font>]][[User talk:WBOSITG|<font color="navy">inthegarden</font>]]''' (talk) 14:47, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Waiting for some more feedback. PS, Your sig seems broken. Did you check "raw signature"? — Edokter • Talk • 14:49, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Sigh =P I think you're the fifth today? I changed it now because of a complaint =( weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 14:59, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
