Torchwood Children Of Earth

MEDIA ALERT

Global Television Event Across Five Huge Nights

TUESDAY 7 . SATURDAY 11 JULY at 8:30pm on UKTV

An ordinary day becomes a world of terror, as every single child in the world stops.

A message is sent to all the governments of Earth: "We are coming". But as a trap closes around Captain Jack, sins of the past are returning, as long-forgotten events from 1965 threaten to reveal an awful truth.

Torchwood are forced underground, as the government takes swift and brutal action. With members of the team being hunted down, Britain risks becoming a rogue state, with the mysterious and powerful 456 drawing ever closer.

Captain Jack (John Barrowman), Gwen (Eve Myles) and Ianto (Gareth David Lloyd) are helpless, as events escalate until mankind faces the end of civilisation itself.

In one epic story, told over five episodes, the new series promises to be Torchwood's greatest adrenalin-fuelled, high octane adventure to date. As they battle against the odds, do they stand a chance of saving mankind?
