I hope they don't. I'm still ambivalent about it, but I have no inclination to watch it, whereas I'll quite happily watch the first two series episodes time and again. I don't want Torchwood to become more international, the domesticity is the reason I like it. I like that it centres around Cardiff, I like that it is very British, and I like the nature of the stories in general. Going Hollywood is a bad sign for me, but I'll obviously watch it and hope that it all works out well. I'm also a bit concerned over 10 parts. Most series run for 6, 13 or 26 parts, unless they do something like they did with scheduling Children of Earth, where it was 5 parts on consecutive days. I'm hoping the new series isn't gong to be that same format, as I like the freshness of the short one and two part stories, with something for everyone. I sound grumpy about it, but it's early in the morning, but really I'm still thinking "Yay! New Torchwood!"

Thanks, vanwa, that's the best news I heard for a long time!

I've read all of them now, including Burned, and I actually think the series is picking up with the last couple of books. I've said it elsewhere, but I liked the first couple of books, then felt the next few got very formulaic, but I felt that the series picked up again with Tempted and I liked Burned a lot, especially Arphrodite, who is probably my favourite of all the characters.

Warning ...

I've seen a few articles on it too. It does seem to be gaining a lot of attention, and while I admit I'm intrigued, it's over 700 pages and only the first part of a trilogy, so it would definitely be one to wait to read in paperback! Here's the synopsis from waterstones.com for those who haven't heard of it:
