Torchwood. Protecting the Earth against alien threats in the 21st Century - the time when everything changes. A Doctor Who spin-off created by Russell T Davies and starring John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness, Eve Myles as Gwen Cooper, Burn Gorman as Owen Harper, Naoko Mori as Toshiko Sato and Gareth David-Lloyd as Ianto Jones, Torchwood is a high-octane sci-fi thriller, full of adventure, passion, humour and excitement.

The second series saw Torchwood investigating alien sleeper cells; saving a stranded creature from human exploitation; meeting a First World War soldier; and dealing with a memory thief who exposes long-held secrets within the whole team; not to mention encountering charismatic rogue Captain John Hart (played by James Marsters of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame) and calling on the assistance of former TARDIS traveller Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman).

    Both of these books look great. Might get a copy of the Doctor Who one but I doubt I will get the Torchwood one.
