I love Ianto,and I miss him. I'm from china, for many years, he is the ony one who makes me feel heartbreak when every time I think of him. I just finish TW season 1 to 3 one months ago, so I'm still in deep grief, I always see him in dream, nearly every night, the poor boy...The second time you brought a cup of coffee with you, the best one that Jack had ever been drunk. But it made you look like a wife more than a special officer, wasn’t it?
@suemorr1970jamaica I can, I cried back then and I still cry to this day whenever I watch that episode :'( I don't think I could ever watch this without shedding at least one tear lol, unless they found a way to bring him back so he can live a, long and happy, life with Jack. Cheesy but I don't care :-D
....Now they're just beating a dead horse...I get it. He's dead. You don't have to make a sad movie to squeeze more tears out of me....I don't think I have any left after that episode anyways.
love gareth's dramatic fall, totally realistic. wow, i miss them both. gareth is such an awesome actor, but maybe thats why they killed off ianto cause they knew he could pull the heartstrings of every fan xx
and JUST when i thought i could stop crying every time someone brought up Ianto, they have to go and send me this :P now im bawling my freaking eyes out again. We miss you Ianto, you will always live on as being the most heroic, bravest member or torchwood, who could make a damn fine cup of coffee. <3 We all love you <3
Oh God I've cried so much. It was so tragic! I wish he comes back. It can still in the 4th season to get back and if it is only at the final strength.....
I don't care how good you think it made it RTD! I could almost not bring myself to watch the last episode this upset me so much! This just ruined the whole series! Why couldn't you have just badly injured him or something (don't hurt me people!) and made it look like he was going to die, but let him survive (like Jack in End of Days, and yes, I did just use a reference!) I can't imagine series 4 without Ianto.
R.I.P though Ianto. We will always remember you! xx
OMG I thought this was a girl singing. But then I got James Blunt's new CD and I accidently ran into this song and remembered it in this for Torchwood. Oh my God I'm in shock ... :'( :'( But I love James's voice. It's amazing.
This was the video that made me start crying over Ianto's death again, but I've come to terms with it, and him coming back to life would kind of make the whole thing less meaningful. And he had a beautiful death scene, one of the best I've read or seen.
What I like about Torchwood is that people actually die. It's a dangerous job, so people will die. It's like HP - the 7th book had so much senseless death, but it just made everything more real and powerful.
If you watch too much Doctor Who, you start thinking only extras die, and that if you're the companion to the main character then the worst that can happen is you get stuck in another universe. Life isn't like that. He's dead for the same reason Dobby's dead - war's war, and everyone's at risk.
The irony is that the backlash is really a huge compliment to Davies. It's got to be good drama when people are filled with so much grief they start calling the writer of Queer as Folk homophobic.
I reall dislike RTD ok he can write good but he is so selfish! and rather arrogant not just because of this but with a lot of things and because of this i cant help think that if it wasnt for the fact Cpt Jack cant die then he would be stone cold too... Janto is what made torchwood. series 4 will be rubbish.. gwen has a family now, Jacks all alone :'(
i think ... to add even MORE drama to the show ... they should bring ianto back to life somehow .... that would be amazing ..... i cry eveytime i watch this episode of declassified, its not funny .... so sad R.I.P ianto jones <3 :( x
watching the death scene again, when ianto says i love you and jack say don't, it sounds to me more like jack is saying don't love me because i'm not worth it
whenever i watch this i always cyr, Jack will never be the same without Ianto, he shouldnt have died so young, poor Jack, he lost his lover, grandson and his daughter is never going to speak to him again, all in the space of 2 days! As much as I love Jack, I wish he could be fixed by the Doctor so he doesnt have to go through all the pain he does when someone he loves dies, although this will never happen because we have seen him as the Face of Boe who had lived for millions of years, great vid
@TheFlyingBeav3r 6 episodes? they were killed off over all the series. and they wanted to end it dramatically. as this would have been the last torchwood episode
you crazy ugly children-sucking creature :X you should better have another damn pair of the resurrection gloves or i will take the damn children that you r sucking right now. i miss him damn it!
Ok... note to RTD: I understand that someone has to die and that it can't always be a happy ending but... YOU JUST KILLED OWEN AND TOSH!! And if you absolutely have to kill someone in series three THEN WHY NOT GWEN?! Jack would be heartbroken if Gwen died, hopefully not as heartbroken as when Ianto died but it would hurt him so why not her?! :'( *sobs*
And they originally had Jack saying "I love you too." But, it was too not Jack, so they cut it out. Hell, I do not /care/ if it makes Jack seem out of character. I don't care. I just wanted to hear him say it.
Okay... i cried every time watching it - but, after watching it the third time now i realized something...
There's something in what John Barrowman says that made me go like "What?"
He's like: "But... Ianto dies... so it's.. it's not really a happy ending..."
"NOT REALLY A HAPPY ENDING??" Excuse this lil' crying fangirl here (<- me), but that wasnt just "not really a happy ending" - it was awfully sad! *wipe tears away*
But the third season doesn't exist anyway, so... ( -;
They flippin edited it!?!?! On BBCA when Ianto says "I love you" Jack just says "Don't" and they eneded it there. What he really said was don';t leave me, it makes him sound so much less of a prick, that sucks.
@LyknScribe I just realized - that explains a lot, cause if you watch the normal episode, you - or at least I - was so damn angry at Jack for this useless, unromantical "don't" - now that I know what it should have meant in the first place, it explains a lot... they should have kept it!
Actually... I just re-watched Day 4. They didn't edit it... Jack does say "Don't leave me, please" but he says it a bit later on. The way they cut it in the Declassified part makes it seem like he said it after Ianto said 'I love you'. =[
i hate rtd now!!!! DR Who go back in time and save him!!! Please Matt Smith!!!! Please im begging you save our teaboy!!!! IANTO COME BACK!!! I cried a bit when tosh and owen died. a lot when my friend died but more when Ianto died!!!!! ILOVEYOUIANTOJONES
I think RTD was the type of guy who pulled the legs off insects when he was a kid... He's an absolute genious - but why create something soooooo good then hit the self destruction button and kill everyone off?!
Killing off Ianto was not only killing off a lot of viewers favourite character but also damaging Jack and the way the viewer relates to him. Crazy choice!
Also I never got Gwen, she's improving but was never sympathetically written for women - too flirty with...EVERYONE! Poor Rhys.
Because as RTD said, you can not have something like that happen and not lose a character. The idea of Torchwood is that it's a very dangerous job and nobody really lasts very long. It's very sad, but the writers and such have to be realistic. Torchwood can't defend the Earth and not lose anything. They witness so many people lose the ones they love. They have to be seen suffering too. That's what makes it so real. And you have to admit, when a character dies, you're drawn in.
i really don't know how they are going to create a series 4 without Tosh, Owen AND Ianto... i probably won't bother, seeing as ianto was my favourite *sigh*
AND i really don't see why he had to die. COE was already ULTRA depressing. If RTD was going for the sad drama thing he had it already.
@happywithtv the problem is, is that the fans have wrecked any chance of ianto coming back with all this save the teaboy stuff, because if RTD writes Ianto back into the show, he'll be giving into the fans demands, and he's not the type of writer who does that type of stuff.
Which is really annoying because Ianto was my favourite!
I couldn't stop myself from crying either... It's just... He really was a great character and his death left a big impact on me I think... Reality or fiction doesn't matter... I miss Ianto... :(
Well, Jack really doesn't have a choice with the surviving. I think we all know he was crushed after Ianto and Steven completely shattered him inside. Gwen is the only one that really is surviving. It's really annoying. Nothing bad has really happened to her but witnessing her friends sufferage and losing them.
I cant even watch this cuz i burst Into tears, But i mean come on, yeah there have to be some bad things happen but you dont kill off the best character, Its stupid. If there is a series 4 im not watching it, cuz it wont be Torchwood. Torchwood is not just the base etc its the people!. And Now they have killed most of them off anyway so why bother.
Because after Alex Hopkins killed HIS team at the millenium, this was the first and only team JACK had built as leader of T3. They had each been HIS choice of team member, and he had unique memories of each of them.
Sadly, Suzie wasn't the wisest (or sanest) choice, but her death and those of Tosh, Owen and then Ianto, were each based on his initial decision to induct them into the dangerous and short life of a Torchwood operative.
RTD is a murderer. The lost of Jack's grandson was enough. They made jack a coward but having him run away. "The end is where we begin again" didn't he say something along those lines when tosh and owen died? Hmmm??? What's the point of getting to like characters when they kill them off in two or three seasons??! *tears*
DAMMIT! *sigh* i just can't get over losing Ianto!! </3 Janto forever.
EVERYTIME i watch this i CRY.
i think if they're to have a season 4, Jack comes back because he's found something while he was out venturing the universe, that would save ianto, and bring him back, so that Jack would get a second chance to act more...couple-y with him. *sigh* this IS good drama though =) =(
sad ianto died :( but love the vid and i think at the end eve is right we will rember ianto as a hero but i think we will miss him in the next season but i think u should keep watching cuz anythink could happen its sci-fi so u never no but love the vid nice one
thanks for this i can not believe that inato is dead gareth is such an amazing welsh actor him and john are awesome when they work 2gether i hope it comes back for series 4 :(
Amazing. I really will miss Ianto. Like he wasn't a main character but he was always just .. there. He was ready to come in with funny 1-liners to cheer every1 up. Tosh, Owen, Suzie, Ianto should make a dead Torchwood that would b cool and everytime Jack died he could c how there getting on :D
Immense respect for the BBC, but I think many fans have been hurt by RTD who has said he feels 'contempt' towards his fans, I also think you can have Drama without death if you're a good writer and director, sometimes death is a cop out,
they also gave it away with having Ianto constantly mention dying from 'old age' which he always usually followed with 'if I get there which I won't' except for now, hmm, bad foreshadowing much?
I was disappointed with day 4&5 shame to end it like that,
i love gwen...but what about killing her? if somebody must die i would prefer gwen among the 2! well i still love TW and i will keep watch it, just ianto was more funny then gwen even if i really like gwen too...or what about rhys?..c'mon now we only have 2 members of the team! so glad jack can't die
RTD does speak some utter crap though. Killing a character isn't the only way to bring drama to a series, and it is possible for something to be dramatic, but happy in the end (I don't mean a perfect ending, just not RTD's only way to bring about 'drama' - massacre).
I am extremely happy about this declassified video. The choice of song and the composition of scenes are proof of how much the team (and RTD!) adored Ianto as well as the Jack/Ianto relationship and how much they themselves hurt from his death. Too right, it made me bleed, but watching this I feel they made the right decision. As a fan, I feel very much respected.
Fiction is not a democracy. You can care that RTD killed off characters but you can't change it.
I'm sad Ianto died but if that's the direction the writers decided to take then I respect their decision. They made hundreds of fans mourn and cry for a fictional character and that's an achievement in itself.
To be honest kill Ianto is not the only way to bring drama to the series, they can give drama to the series if Ianto was alive and he saw Jack run away again. Why Jack and Ianto can't have a happy ending?... I mean, look at the Doctor and Rose, they found a way to give them a happy ending... Why not with Jack and Ianto?
And btw, I don't think this is childish, Im fan of Torchwood, and of Jack and Ianto, I think is unfair for the fans, just kill him off, and leave the Janto storyline incomplete.
The death really served no point in terms of the final ending. Jack makes the same decision regardless of what happened to Ianto.
Real drama could have been made out of Ianto and Jack's relationship being destroyed over Jack's decision as easily as it was with this pointless death.
They could of made it through the episode without killing Ianto yes, but it wouldn't of been as good (this is coming from a Ianto fan btw), i believe the death was in no way pointless. To all the fans saying they wont watch TW anymore: You shouldn't give up before you even see the next series, just because a character is gone, i know it's hard and you want to sit there and say you hate TW season 4 but how can you know that if you haven't seen it (if there is one),
All you are doing by saying you wont watch it is hurting yourself no one else, no offense at all but this is some what childlike. You shouldn't give up on something that hasn't even happened yet, you could begin to like the new season (again if there is one).
I am iffy about watching the 3rd Series because they have just got rid of three characters in quick succession. And I am unwilling to forge any emotional connections to any new characters, because I now see the ease and frantic nature with which RTD seems to kill them off. Losing the three characters we lost hurt so much, I don't want that to happen again.
Also, wasn't needed. Tosh and Owen died saving the city from nuclear attack. Everything that happened would have still happened with Ianto.
I agree with ShatteredMirror. I believe the real hangup with fans going back to see the fourth season is mostly because they're wary of forging an attachment to "new members". Tosh, Owen and Ianto---we were very close to these characters and they died tragically.
Can we go through with this again? The Torchwood fanbase can deteriorate from that question alone. If we become unattached to the new characters because of it, the show is basically screwed.
I agree with emelisema - if the bullets had succeeded in breaking the glass Ianto would still have sacrificed himself.
The components of the gas were enumberated when the casing was built and are essentially totally poisonous. Ianto would have received full exposure to that gas in killing the 456, and so would still have died to save the children.
I will truly miss him, but the pain of watching it the first time has receded (a little!) Thank you for putting this clip up.
OMG this video TOTALLY just made me cry! =( it's true what RTD said though, good drama DOES rip your guts out and make you cry...i just hope they make us feel better by bringing him back! =( what's Torchwood without Ianto?!?! what's JACK for that matter...
I just, y'know, am really annoyed at RTD for his comment about "good drama makes you bleed", because GOOD DRAMA makes you smile too. Good drama depicts real-life reactions. RTD is implying that his drama is "good drama", something I wholeheartedly disagree with.
And if he EVER hopes to break into American TV, he'd better rethink his idea of good drama and maybe watch a good drama show. I'd recommend The West Wing.
1 question but first THANK YOU for uploading this :) And it's adorable!! now the question... in what way was his death heroic?! All he did was breath and die everyone else in thames house did the same are they all heroes? :'(
Because he shot at the the glass in front of the 456 in the hope that the glass would break and the "poison" which the 456 breaths will come out and air will fill in the class box where the 456 is, so that the 456 can't breathe anymore because he cannot live on air only the "poison. If the 456 cannot breahte, the children will be save because they cannot be taken anymore by the 456
I love Ianto,and I miss him. I'm from china, for many years, he is the ony one who makes me feel heartbreak when every time I think of him. I just finish TW season 1 to 3 one months ago, so I'm still in deep grief, I always see him in dream, nearly every night, the poor boy...The second time you brought a cup of coffee with you, the best one that Jack had ever been drunk. But it made you look like a wife more than a special officer, wasn’t it?

I think RTD was the type of guy who pulled the legs off insects when he was a kid... He's an absolute genious - but why create something soooooo good then hit the self destruction button and kill everyone off?!
Killing off Ianto was not only killing off a lot of viewers favourite character but also damaging Jack and the way the viewer relates to him. Crazy choice!
Also I never got Gwen, she's improving but was never sympathetically written for women - too flirty with...EVERYONE! Poor Rhys.

@kate22uk
Because as RTD said, you can not have something like that happen and not lose a character. The idea of Torchwood is that it's a very dangerous job and nobody really lasts very long. It's very sad, but the writers and such have to be realistic. Torchwood can't defend the Earth and not lose anything. They witness so many people lose the ones they love. They have to be seen suffering too. That's what makes it so real. And you have to admit, when a character dies, you're drawn in.

i really don't know how they are going to create a series 4 without Tosh, Owen AND Ianto... i probably won't bother, seeing as ianto was my favourite *sigh*
AND i really don't see why he had to die. COE was already ULTRA depressing. If RTD was going for the sad drama thing he had it already.
R.I.P IANTO... i love you :D

@happywithtv the problem is, is that the fans have wrecked any chance of ianto coming back with all this save the teaboy stuff, because if RTD writes Ianto back into the show, he'll be giving into the fans demands, and he's not the type of writer who does that type of stuff.
Which is really annoying because Ianto was my favourite!

megdabest 2 years ago 54
Well, Jack really doesn't have a choice with the surviving. I think we all know he was crushed after Ianto and Steven completely shattered him inside. Gwen is the only one that really is surviving. It's really annoying. Nothing bad has really happened to her but witnessing her friends sufferage and losing them.

I cant even watch this cuz i burst Into tears, But i mean come on, yeah there have to be some bad things happen but you dont kill off the best character, Its stupid. If there is a series 4 im not watching it, cuz it wont be Torchwood. Torchwood is not just the base etc its the people!. And Now they have killed most of them off anyway so why bother.

"The end is where we start from" Jack's been through loads of teams. Why is this now suddenly the one that matters to him?
FryConfessesJZMD 2 years ago 3
Because after Alex Hopkins killed HIS team at the millenium, this was the first and only team JACK had built as leader of T3. They had each been HIS choice of team member, and he had unique memories of each of them.
Sadly, Suzie wasn't the wisest (or sanest) choice, but her death and those of Tosh, Owen and then Ianto, were each based on his initial decision to induct them into the dangerous and short life of a Torchwood operative.

RTD is a murderer. The lost of Jack's grandson was enough. They made jack a coward but having him run away. "The end is where we begin again" didn't he say something along those lines when tosh and owen died? Hmmm??? What's the point of getting to like characters when they kill them off in two or three seasons??! *tears*

EVERYTIME i watch this i CRY.
i think if they're to have a season 4, Jack comes back because he's found something while he was out venturing the universe, that would save ianto, and bring him back, so that Jack would get a second chance to act more...couple-y with him. *sigh* this IS good drama though =) =(

sad ianto died :( but love the vid and i think at the end eve is right we will rember ianto as a hero but i think we will miss him in the next season but i think u should keep watching cuz anythink could happen its sci-fi so u never no but love the vid nice one

Immense respect for the BBC, but I think many fans have been hurt by RTD who has said he feels 'contempt' towards his fans, I also think you can have Drama without death if you're a good writer and director, sometimes death is a cop out,
they also gave it away with having Ianto constantly mention dying from 'old age' which he always usually followed with 'if I get there which I won't' except for now, hmm, bad foreshadowing much?
I was disappointed with day 4&5 shame to end it like that,

RTD does speak some utter crap though. Killing a character isn't the only way to bring drama to a series, and it is possible for something to be dramatic, but happy in the end (I don't mean a perfect ending, just not RTD's only way to bring about 'drama' - massacre).

I am extremely happy about this declassified video. The choice of song and the composition of scenes are proof of how much the team (and RTD!) adored Ianto as well as the Jack/Ianto relationship and how much they themselves hurt from his death. Too right, it made me bleed, but watching this I feel they made the right decision. As a fan, I feel very much respected.
Goodbye Ianto, you will be missed terribly :o(
caroona123 2 years ago 7
Fiction is not a democracy. You can care that RTD killed off characters but you can't change it.
I'm sad Ianto died but if that's the direction the writers decided to take then I respect their decision. They made hundreds of fans mourn and cry for a fictional character and that's an achievement in itself.

To be honest kill Ianto is not the only way to bring drama to the series, they can give drama to the series if Ianto was alive and he saw Jack run away again. Why Jack and Ianto can't have a happy ending?... I mean, look at the Doctor and Rose, they found a way to give them a happy ending... Why not with Jack and Ianto?
And btw, I don't think this is childish, Im fan of Torchwood, and of Jack and Ianto, I think is unfair for the fans, just kill him off, and leave the Janto storyline incomplete.
EyeCandy021 2 years ago 62
Actually, it was more of a happy ending for Rose and the CLONE Tenth Doctor. The original left her again, this time forever.
Kaagh178 2 years ago
The death really served no point in terms of the final ending. Jack makes the same decision regardless of what happened to Ianto.
Real drama could have been made out of Ianto and Jack's relationship being destroyed over Jack's decision as easily as it was with this pointless death.
I'm done with TW.
moreeyecandy 2 years ago
They could of made it through the episode without killing Ianto yes, but it wouldn't of been as good (this is coming from a Ianto fan btw), i believe the death was in no way pointless. To all the fans saying they wont watch TW anymore: You shouldn't give up before you even see the next series, just because a character is gone, i know it's hard and you want to sit there and say you hate TW season 4 but how can you know that if you haven't seen it (if there is one),
TheMaaadOne 2 years ago
All you are doing by saying you wont watch it is hurting yourself no one else, no offense at all but this is some what childlike. You shouldn't give up on something that hasn't even happened yet, you could begin to like the new season (again if there is one).
TheMaaadOne 2 years ago
I am iffy about watching the 3rd Series because they have just got rid of three characters in quick succession. And I am unwilling to forge any emotional connections to any new characters, because I now see the ease and frantic nature with which RTD seems to kill them off. Losing the three characters we lost hurt so much, I don't want that to happen again.
Also, wasn't needed. Tosh and Owen died saving the city from nuclear attack. Everything that happened would have still happened with Ianto.
ShatteredMirror 2 years ago 2
I agree with ShatteredMirror. I believe the real hangup with fans going back to see the fourth season is mostly because they're wary of forging an attachment to "new members". Tosh, Owen and Ianto---we were very close to these characters and they died tragically.
Can we go through with this again? The Torchwood fanbase can deteriorate from that question alone. If we become unattached to the new characters because of it, the show is basically screwed.
RTD, please use your cards wisely. ^^;

I agree with emelisema - if the bullets had succeeded in breaking the glass Ianto would still have sacrificed himself.
The components of the gas were enumberated when the casing was built and are essentially totally poisonous. Ianto would have received full exposure to that gas in killing the 456, and so would still have died to save the children.
I will truly miss him, but the pain of watching it the first time has receded (a little!) Thank you for putting this clip up.

I just, y'know, am really annoyed at RTD for his comment about "good drama makes you bleed", because GOOD DRAMA makes you smile too. Good drama depicts real-life reactions. RTD is implying that his drama is "good drama", something I wholeheartedly disagree with.
And if he EVER hopes to break into American TV, he'd better rethink his idea of good drama and maybe watch a good drama show. I'd recommend The West Wing.
That said, I still love Gareth. :)

Because he shot at the the glass in front of the 456 in the hope that the glass would break and the "poison" which the 456 breaths will come out and air will fill in the class box where the 456 is, so that the 456 can't breathe anymore because he cannot live on air only the "poison. If the 456 cannot breahte, the children will be save because they cannot be taken anymore by the 456
