The Torchwood Team - Ianto
Ianto deals with all the team's administrative issues. His knowledge is eclectic, his attention to details unrivaled and his ability to anticipate the team's needs before they have arisen is uncanny. He dislike it when his remarkable efficiency is taken for granted, however, and when required, he is also more than capable of undertaking field work for the team.

The Torchwood Team - Toshiko
The team's technical expert is quiet but highly intelligent. One of the main purposes of Torchwood is to assess the potential application of alien technology for humanity's use, and this is Toshiko's job. She also has a keen understanding of practical physics which makes her useful as a field agent. She is focused and intensely professional, though sensitive.
Torchwood, Anyone?
Torchwood are recruiting! Simply go over to the BBC Torchwood Website (Non-UK) and you can apply! You'll be able to view a recruitment video from Ianto and then you can register! The first mission is at 2200 hours this Wednesday. Make sure to sign up before then!
14 Jan 2008
The Torchwood Team - Owen
Owen trained as a medical doctor, but since joining Torchwood has expanded his expertise massively. As well as the attending to the team's emergency medical needs and working on the human victims of alien activity, he has gained much expertise in alien anatomy. He is very confident in his abilities - some would say over-confident - but his commitment to his duty has never been doubted.
New Torchwood Season 2 Article
There is an interesting article over at icWales, with interviews from John Barrowman, Eve Myles, Gareth David-Lloyd and Helen Raynor. When asked about her character, Eve Myles says: “She’s still the same old Gwen, still the nucleus of the team, but she’s had to learn lot of things very quickly." Please note the article does contain minor **SPOILERS**. Click here to read it!
13 Jan 2008
The Torchwood Team - Gwen
A former police officer, Gwen brings procedural skills to the team and a sensitivity that helps them greatly in dealing with victims. She is grounded, straightforward and very determined, and in the murky world of Torchwood she acts as the team's conscience. Her ability to co-ordinate activity has led her to being recognised as the team's deputy leader.

Torchwood's team leader. Jack's origins are obscure and he likes it that way. However, he has vast practical experience of working with aliens and dealing with crisis situations.

New Torchwood Books
Due to be on sale on the 4th of March 2008, the official summaries and covers have been released for the new Torchwood books:
by David Llewellyn
Tiger Bay, Cardiff, 1950: A mysterious crate is brought into the docks on a Scandinavian cargo ship. Its destination: the Torchwood Institute. As the crate is offloaded by a group of local dockers, it explodes, killing all but one of them, a young Butetown lad called Michael Bellini.
Fifty-eight years later, a radioactive source somewhere inside the Hub leads Torchwood to discover the same Michael Bellini, still young and dressed in his 1950s clothes, cowering in the vaults.They soon realise that each has encountered Michael before - as a child in Osaka, as a junior doctor, as a young police constable, as a new recruit to Torchwood One. But it's Jack who remembers him best of all. Michael's involuntary time-travelling has something to do with a radiation-charged relic held inside the crate. And the Men in Bowler Hats are coming to get it back.
The Twilight Streetsby Gary Russell
There's a part of the city that no one much goes to, a collection of rundown old houses and gloomy streets. No one stays there long, and no one can explain why - something's not quite right there.
Now the Council is renovating the district, and a new company is overseeing the work. There will be street parties and events to show off the newly gentrified neighbourhood: clowns and face-painters for the kids, magicians for the adults - the street entertainers of Cardiff, out in force.
None of this is Torchwood's problem. Until Toshiko recognises the sponsor of the street parties: Bilis Manger. Now there is something for Torchwood to investigate. But Captain Jack Harkness has never been able to get into the area; it makes him physically ill to go near it. Without Jack's help, Torchwood must face the darker side of urban Cardiff alone...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Something in the Waterby Trevor Baxendale
Dr Bob Strong's GP surgery has been treating a lot of coughs and colds recently, far more than is normal for the time of year. Bob thinks there's something up but he can't think what.
He seems to have caught it himself, whatever it is - he's starting to cough badly and there are flecks of blood in his hanky. Saskia Harden has been found on a number of occasions submerged in ponds or canals but alive and seemingly none the worse for wear. Saskia is not on any files, except in the medical records at Dr Strong's GP practice.
But Torchwood's priorities lie elsewhere: investigating ghostly apparitions in South Wales, they have found a dead body. It's old and in an advanced state of decay. And it is still able to talk. And what it is saying is 'Water hag'...
The books are priced at £6.99 each.
