The series had new producer <a href="/wiki/Peter_Bennett_(producer)" title="Peter Bennett (producer)">Peter Bennett</a> and was directed by <a href="/wiki/Euros_Lyn" title="Euros Lyn">Euros Lyn</a>, who had considerable experience on the revived <a href="/wiki/Doctor_Who" title="Doctor Who">Doctor Who</a>, Torchwood's parent show. The eponymous series is about an organization known as <a href="/wiki/Torchwood_Institute" title="Torchwood Institute">Torchwood</a> which defends the Earth against alien threats. The plot of Children of Earth deals with aliens demanding 10% of the Earth's children, and a related earlier conspiracy 40 years ago; as such, Torchwood is pitted against the <a href="/wiki/Government_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Government of the United Kingdom">British government</a> when the government attempts to conceal its past actions and accede to the present-day aliens' demands. The first, third, and fifth episodes of the serial were written by executive producer <a href="/wiki/Russell_T_Davies" title="Russell T Davies">Russell T Davies</a>, who also conceived its overall storyline. The third episode was co-written by <a href="/wiki/James_Moran_(writer)" title="James Moran (writer)">James Moran</a> whilst the second and fourth were penned by newcomer <a href="/wiki/John_Fay_(writer)" title="John Fay (writer)">John Fay</a>. <table class="infobox vevent"><tbody><tr><th colspan="2" class="infobox-above summary" style="background-color: #5C5743; color: white; padding: 0.25em 1em; font-size: 125%;">Torchwood: Children of Earth</th></tr><tr><td colspan="2" class="infobox-image"><a href="/wiki/File:Children_of_Earth_titles.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4b/Children_of_Earth_titles.jpg/250px-Children_of_Earth_titles.jpg" decoding="async" width="250" height="141" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4b/Children_of_Earth_titles.jpg/375px-Children_of_Earth_titles.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4b/Children_of_Earth_titles.jpg 2x" data-file-width="400" data-file-height="225"></a></td></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label" style="white-space: nowrap;">Showrunner</th><td class="infobox-data"><a href="/wiki/Russell_T_Davies" title="Russell T Davies">Russell T Davies</a></td></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label" style="white-space: nowrap;">Starring</th><td class="infobox-data"><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1126788409">.mw-parser-output .plainlist ol,.mw-parser-output .plainlist ul{line-height:inherit;list-style:none;margin:0;padding:0}.mw-parser-output .plainlist ol li,.mw-parser-output .plainlist ul li{margin-bottom:0}</style><div class="plainlist"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/John_Barrowman" title="John Barrowman">John Barrowman</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Eve_Myles" title="Eve Myles">Eve Myles</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Gareth_David-Lloyd" title="Gareth David-Lloyd">Gareth David-Lloyd</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kai_Owen" title="Kai Owen">Kai Owen</a></li></ul> </div></td></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label" style="white-space: nowrap;"><abbr title="Number">No.</abbr> of episodes</th><td class="infobox-data">5</td></tr><tr><th colspan="2" class="infobox-header summary" style="background-color: #5C5743; color: white; padding: 0.25em 1em; line-height: 1.5em;">Release</th></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label" style="white-space: nowrap;">Original network</th><td class="infobox-data"><a href="/wiki/BBC_One" title="BBC One">BBC One</a></td></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label" style="white-space: nowrap;">Original release</th><td class="infobox-data">6 July (2009-7-6) – 10 July 2009 (2009-7-10)</td></tr><tr><th colspan="2" class="infobox-header summary" style="background-color: #5C5743; color: white; padding: 0.25em 1em; line-height: 1.5em;">Season chronology</th></tr><tr class="noprint"><td colspan="2" class="infobox-full-data"><div style="float: left;">← Previous <a href="/wiki/List_of_Torchwood_episodes#Series_2_(2008)" title="List of Torchwood episodes">Series 2</a> </div><div style="float: right;">Next → <a href="/wiki/Torchwood:_Miracle_Day" title="Torchwood: Miracle Day">Series 4: Miracle Day</a> </div></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" class="infobox-below noprint"><a href="/wiki/List_of_Torchwood_episodes" title="List of Torchwood episodes">List of episodes</a></td></tr></tbody></table> Torchwood was shown on the network's premiere channel, BBC One, every weeknight for one week in July 2009. Despite the move to BBC One, the show was cut from a standard thirteen-episode run to just five, something that lead actor <a href="/wiki/John_Barrowman" title="John Barrowman">John Barrowman</a> felt was almost like a "punishment" from the BBC.<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a> Production on the mini-series began in August 2008, and Barrowman along with actors <a href="/wiki/Eve_Myles" title="Eve Myles">Eve Myles</a>, <a href="/wiki/Gareth_David-Lloyd" title="Gareth David-Lloyd">Gareth David-Lloyd</a> and <a href="/wiki/Kai_Owen" title="Kai Owen">Kai Owen</a> all returned. The serial significantly features new actors to the series over the course of its five episodes, including <a href="/wiki/Peter_Capaldi" title="Peter Capaldi">Peter Capaldi</a>. Davies had to substantially rewrite parts of the serial to accommodate the unavailability of actors <a href="/wiki/Freema_Agyeman" title="Freema Agyeman">Freema Agyeman</a> and <a href="/wiki/Noel_Clarke" title="Noel Clarke">Noel Clarke</a>, whose presence in the serial had been set up in the <a href="/wiki/Journey%27s_End_(Doctor_Who)" title="Journey's End (Doctor Who)">2008 Doctor Who finale</a>. When the series defied expectations by achieving good ratings (peaking at 6.76 million), Davies stated that a surprised BBC Controller rang to congratulate him. Mid-summer evenings are typically considered a <a href="/wiki/Graveyard_slot" title="Graveyard slot">graveyard slot</a> for television series.<a href="#cite_note-graveyardslot-2">[2]</a> The serial also received acclaim, particularly in comparison to the programme's previous two series, as well as a <a href="/wiki/BAFTA_Cymru" title="BAFTA Cymru">BAFTA Cymru Award</a>, a <a href="/wiki/Saturn_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="Saturn Award">Saturn Award</a> and <a href="/wiki/Celtic_Media_Festival" title="Celtic Media Festival">Celtic Media Festival Award</a>, all for best serial. The success of the series led to a fourth series, <a href="/wiki/Torchwood:_Miracle_Day" title="Torchwood: Miracle Day">Torchwood: Miracle Day</a>, which was commissioned in conjunction with the US <a href="/wiki/Pay_television" title="Pay television">premium cable</a> network <a href="/wiki/Starz_(TV_channel)" class="mw-redirect" title="Starz (TV channel)">Starz</a>. <div id="toc" class="toc" role="navigation" aria-labelledby="mw-toc-heading"><input type="checkbox" role="button" id="toctogglecheckbox" class="toctogglecheckbox" style="display:none"><div class="toctitle" lang="en" dir="ltr"><h2 id="mw-toc-heading">Contents</h2><label class="toctogglelabel" for="toctogglecheckbox"></label></div> <ul> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-1"><a href="#Plot">1 Plot</a></li> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-2"><a href="#Episodes">2 Episodes</a></li> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-3"><a href="#Production">3 Production</a> <ul> <li class="toclevel-2 tocsection-4"><a href="#Locations">3.1 Locations</a></li> <li class="toclevel-2 tocsection-5"><a href="#Casting">3.2 Casting</a></li> <li class="toclevel-2 tocsection-6"><a href="#Preview">3.3 Preview</a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-7"><a href="#Broadcast">4 Broadcast</a> <ul> <li class="toclevel-2 tocsection-8"><a href="#Soundtrack">4.1 Soundtrack</a> <ul> <li class="toclevel-3 tocsection-9"><a href="#Track_listing">4.1.1 Track listing</a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="toclevel-2 tocsection-10"><a href="#Home_media">4.2 Home media</a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-11"><a href="#Reception">5 Reception</a> <ul> <li class="toclevel-2 tocsection-12"><a href="#Reviews">5.1 Reviews</a></li> <li class="toclevel-2 tocsection-13"><a href="#Fan_reaction">5.2 Fan reaction</a></li> <li class="toclevel-2 tocsection-14"><a href="#Awards">5.3 Awards</a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-15"><a href="#References">6 References</a></li> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-16"><a href="#External_links">7 External links</a></li> </ul> </div> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(1)"><h2 id="Plot">Plot</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Torchwood:_Children_of_Earth&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Plot" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-1 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-1"> In 1965 Scotland, an alien race called <a href="/wiki/List_of_Doctor_Who_universe_creatures_and_aliens_(0-9)_%26_(A-G)#0.E2.80.939" class="mw-redirect" title="List of Doctor Who universe creatures and aliens (0-9) & (A-G)">the 456</a> offer the <a href="/wiki/British_government" class="mw-redirect" title="British government">British government</a> a cure to an influenza strain that would wipe out 25 million people, in exchange for 12 children. One of these children, Clement McDonald, is pubescent and no longer produces the chemical the 456 <a href="/wiki/Recreational_drug_use" title="Recreational drug use">uses recreationally</a>. Clement escapes and is institutionalised for over 40 years. Over the course of two days in the present, all the children in the world, along with Clement, are paralysed in place and speak several messages in unison announcing the 456's return on the third day. To cover up <a href="/wiki/Jack_Harkness" title="Jack Harkness">Jack</a>'s involvement in the events of 1965, civil servant <a href="/wiki/List_of_Torchwood_characters#John_Frobisher" title="List of Torchwood characters">John Frobisher</a> orders a black-ops kill squad to assassinate him. To this end, <a href="/wiki/List_of_Torchwood_characters#Johnson" title="List of Torchwood characters">Agent Johnson</a> plants a bomb in Jack's abdomen, which detonates inside the <a href="/wiki/Torchwood_Institute" title="Torchwood Institute">Torchwood</a> Hub in Cardiff, destroying it, though Jack survives due to his immortality. On the third day, the ambassador for the 456 arrives in <a href="/wiki/Thames_House" title="Thames House">Thames House</a>, occupying a specially built chamber containing a certain composition of gases. Frobisher and his staff, including his personal assistant <a href="/wiki/List_of_Torchwood_characters#Lois_Habiba" title="List of Torchwood characters">Lois Habiba</a>, who wears special contact lenses given to her by Torchwood to record what she sees, hold confidential meetings with the 456 to understand why they have returned. The 456 speak through a translation device and demand that 10% of the world's children are handed over to them, or else they will destroy the human race. The governments of the world comply, and Lois records the British government's agreement. Torchwood threaten to have <a href="/wiki/Gwen_Cooper" title="Gwen Cooper">Gwen</a>'s husband <a href="/wiki/Rhys_Williams_(Torchwood)" title="Rhys Williams (Torchwood)">Rhys</a> leak the government's agreement to the world. Jack and <a href="/wiki/Ianto_Jones" title="Ianto Jones">Ianto</a> storm Thames House, confront the 456 and warn them humanity will fight back. In response, the 456 release a lethal virus. Thames House automatically locks down, and Ianto is killed along with many others. At the same time, the 456 kill Clement with an auditory signal. The government argue about how to choose children to give to the 456, eventually deciding on those from schools at the bottom of the <a href="/wiki/League_tables#Education" class="mw-redirect" title="League tables">league tables</a>. To convince the public of their cover story - an inoculation programme against the paralysing effect - <a href="/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Prime Minister of the United Kingdom">Prime Minister</a> <a href="/wiki/List_of_Torchwood_characters#Brian_Green" title="List of Torchwood characters">Brian Green</a> orders Frobisher to submit his own children to them. Frobisher agrees, returns home and kills his two daughters to spare them this fate. He then kills his wife and himself. When some parents keep their children home from school, the military tries to secure the remaining children. Jack uses the same audio signal that was used to kill Clement against the 456, but he is forced to use his own grandson, Steven Carter, as a transmitter, demonstrating his <a href="/wiki/Utilitarian" class="mw-redirect" title="Utilitarian">utilitarian</a> moral stance, as previously shown in "<a href="/wiki/Small_Worlds_(Torchwood)" title="Small Worlds (Torchwood)">Small Worlds</a>". The 456 writhe in agony, bursting in a spray of blood, before withdrawing from the Earth. Steven is killed. Devastated, Steven's mother Alice refuses to acknowledge her father ever again, their relationship irrevocably destroyed. Green suggests that they cover up the tragedy and place the blame on the United States, but <a href="/wiki/List_of_Torchwood_characters#Bridget_Spears" title="List of Torchwood characters">Bridget Spears</a>, Lois's superior, reveals that she has recorded this conversation on the contact lenses and will release it, ending Green's political career. After six months of travelling Earth, a guilty Jack decides to leave for space to start a new life, saying goodbye to a pregnant Gwen and Rhys. With Jack gone, the Hub destroyed, most of the team dead and Gwen pregnant, Torchwood is seemingly shut down for good. </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading"

From its hideous Sex Alien vs Cyberwoman beginnings, <a href="/wiki/Torchwood" title="Torchwood">Torchwood</a> has become a true treasure." He speculated on the programme's thematic implication that "as people realise their potential in this world, they die", and remarked: "If the same thing does happen to the series it would be awful. But God, it would be poetic."<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a> Ben Rawson-Jones of <a href="/wiki/Digital_Spy" title="Digital Spy">Digital Spy</a> gave a very favourable pre-review to the first three episodes of the serial. He particularly praised Davies' script for its "economical" and "seamless" re-establishment of the show's returning trio for new viewers whilst not alienating fans. The inter-weaving of the stories for "credible and appealing" supporting characters Rupesh, Clement and Lois was praised; as were the performances from Paul Copley and Liz May Brice. He did however feel that the second episode paled after the explosiveness of the first episode, on which they "failed to capitalise".<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> Summing up the series, Rawson-Jones described Children of Earth as "a powerful human drama, reliant not on special effects but incredible acting, direction and writing" that was a "massive success."<a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a> <a href="/wiki/IGN" title="IGN">IGN</a> writer Ahsan Haque gave the miniseries a rating of 9.5 out of 10, also awarding it their Editor's Choice Award. John Barrowman's performance was highly praised, saying that he handled "these gut-wrenching moments with poise, yet manages to give us just enough to know how much his choices are tearing him up inside. He might not be able to die physically, but emotionally, what Jack has to suffer and live with is a fate far worse than death." Also, Haque felt that the additions of Rhiannon and Johnny "supply a lot of the grounded humanizing moments that really help the story stay grounded to the human condition, and not turn into a mindless sci-fi action-fest." However, Haque pointed out the "slightly campy feel" as well as technobabble as faults. The review ended with: "Best. Torchwood. Ever. Really, we mean it!"<a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a> Mike Hale of <a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a> was more mixed in his review, noting that the mini-series pays tribute to the 1960 British sci-fi film <a href="/wiki/Village_of_the_Damned_(1960_film)" title="Village of the Damned (1960 film)">Village of the Damned</a>, and sums up by saying "Children of Earth is still good fun, if not good, exactly."<a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a> Hale also mentioned the problem with maintaining a 5-hour mini-series over 5 nights, a sentiment echoed by <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles_Times" title="Los Angeles Times">Los Angeles Times</a> reviewer Robert Lloyd who felt that the format led to an inevitable lag in the middle.<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a> Not all reviews were positive. Jim Shelley of <a href="/wiki/The_Daily_Mirror" class="mw-redirect" title="The Daily Mirror">The Daily Mirror</a> gave the mini-series an unfavourable review, commenting that "Torchwood is the modern-day <a href="/wiki/Blake%27s_7" title="Blake's 7">Blake's 7</a>: ludicrous plot, hammy acting, an adolescent penchant for 'Issues'. This week's plot was plagiarised from 50s sci-fi classic, <a href="/wiki/The_Midwich_Cuckoos" title="The Midwich Cuckoos">The Midwich Cuckoos</a>. Contrary to its scheduling, Torchwood always seems to me like Dr Who lite." He went on to say that he felt a large part of the problem was with lead actor John Barrowman: "Unlike <a href="/wiki/David_Tennant" title="David Tennant">David Tennant</a>'s Doctor, Barrowman's endless appearances on friendly drivel like <a href="/wiki/Tonight%27s_the_Night_(TV_series)" title="Tonight's the Night (TV series)">Tonight's the Night</a>, <a href="/wiki/The_Kids_Are_All_Right_(UK_game_show)" class="mw-redirect" title="The Kids Are All Right (UK game show)">The Kids Are All Right</a> and <a href="/wiki/Any_Dream_Will_Do_(TV_series)" title="Any Dream Will Do (TV series)">Any Dream Will Do</a>, is so over-exposed, 'Captain Jack' is about as intriguing or alien as a <a href="/wiki/Weetabix" title="Weetabix">Weetabix</a> and twice as irritating.
