Torchwood Scoop!


"James Marsters joins BBC America's Torchwood in its second-season premiere Jan. 26, fighting and "snogging" Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman). The new season of the Doctor Who spinoff kicks off at 9 p.m. ET/PT, the BBC announced. Marsters (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) will play the charismatic-but-psychopathic Captain John Hart, a time agent who shares history with Captain Jack.


BBC America also released details of the season's next four episodes, which debut in the United States only a few days after they premiere in the United Kingdom. In the subsequent installments, the Torchwood team faces alien sleeper cells that threaten the whole planet, Toshiko (Naoko Mori) falls for a handsome soldier trapped out of his time, Gwen's (Eve Myles) boyfriend Rhys (Kai Owen) discovers the truth about Torchwood, and a memory thief infiltrates Torchwood and uncovers long-forgotten secrets among the entire team. In the course of the season, the team's members will journey to the 51st century and World War I, save a stranded creature from horrific abuse and come face to face with an entity that may well be Death itself. Doctor Who' s Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman) teams up with Torchwood for three episodes.


The season will also feature guest appearances by Alan Dale, Richard Briers, Ruth Jones and Nerys Hughes."
