Torchwood: Children of Earth Trailer - BBC One

[MusicaScarlet]

This was so depressing (and I couldn't find the last 4 episodes of series(?) 2, so I was shocked when I found out that Owen and Tosh died). D:

[aeatcpp]

i saw this and after my sister who is 9 did what the children did on day 1 and i was all like aw hell no and ran fml

[miarowson]

Children are drugs. lol best plot ever.

[ToNic256]

Я бы хотел такое устройство, чтобы ставить школьников на паузу. Вы только подумайте! Интернет, онлайн игры, тытруба, форумы, даже социальные сети, все это можно спасти! Человечеству просто необходима такая технология. Чем сезон кончился? Торчвуд научился управлять школотой? Я уверен, они бы не стали использовать эту возможность во вред человечеству.

[SserpxProductions]

just THINK how furious the Judoon at the Shadow Proclamation would be if they found out what 4-5-6 did there :0

I think that would've been epic :D

[thecuckooman]

can someone give me a link of the episodes i cant find them and i really want to watch this

[MrCoolAidan]

Russel and John you are amazing for this mini series it's the best yet but russel why didn't you show us the spaceship

[MrCoolAidan]

I wish there was a diagram of the 456's body because i'm quite curious to what it would look like out of the smoke

[torchwoodfan81]

does any one know were i can watch the belonging online? thats got eve in??

[rabagast19]

The first half of this was a bit too droll for my non-fan friends :( too bad, since it has so much to offer later on.

And I just love Capaldi's acting here. Grand stuff.

[theghostunderyourbed]

I really want to watch this but where!? :(

[Tutorialz4Mac]

Thumbs up who cried when that poor boy died at the end. That poor boy. :(

[Honey511Bee]

@Tutorialz4Mac To be honest I sobbed the hardest when Ianto died :'(

[zulu32656]

This is the darkest series Ive ever seen on television. Heart wrenching at its end and chill inducing fear when it begins with the childrens scream.

[xbloodystarx]

Every time the kids scream, it sends chills down my spine.

[benlroberts2]

@xbloodystarx this whole trailer sends chills down my spine!!!!!!

[5hutupl1nda]

Torchwood is simply one of the best scifi shows. Its earned a right not to be considered "just another spin off". CoE was simply amazing and Miracle Day, although slightly americanised is quite good too.

[xxmercenaryxx1]

We are cumming

We are cumming

We are cumming

[Emrald70]

this mini-series finally shattered my innocence

I have literally never been quite as cheerful as before I saw this and how evil humanity can be

and it did for me if not you so shut up

[MobileChikane]

I swear. Torchwood handle more serious things than the Doctor. On Earth, at least.

[cheespuffsrok]

@MobileChikane That's because Tourchwood are targeted at an older audience, the writers therefore have the means to make the series a lot darker compared to Doctor who, which is a family show.

[jbarroso22]

The Miracle Day is close!!!!! cant wait!!!

[5hazmat]

I absolutely adore Children of Earth. It's what got me into Torchwood in the first place. Brilliant storyline. It shows how much we worry about our own. Thumbs up if you can't wait until Miracle Day.

[MrBronwaugh]

@5hazmat Miracle Day was a piece of shit compared to this!

[TweetActor]

WE ARE NOT COMING BACK HERE

[PlushieKittie]

HOLY CRAP I CRAPPED MY PANTS... Well mentally I guess

[TweetActor]

i love this show!

[TheKeksiify]

So creepy. Is makes my straight ahead watching Torchwood. :D

[slitheenplanet]

Ohh this gave me goosebumps :S

[goldlioness12]

never make the mistake of watching this in row. Me and my best mate did and cried so hard. Not ashamed to admit that :D

[Chrysostone123]

That was the best week of my life.

[ProudToBeNerdy]

Brilliant trailer. Not sure about the way it goes in reverse though...

[ragnaught219]

Considdering it aired in 2009 and I've watched it a number of times, it still sends shivers down my spine. The trailer here is absolutely brilliant. Appealing to the desire to protect children at all costs and to be there for them. Astounding drama and astounding trailer, keep up the good work BBC!

[specialfred1101]

This series of torchwood is possibly better even than doctor who, it's so bloody epic. Watch it if u haven't already seen it.

[SailorMiniMoonlover]

It was creepy with that twinkle little star melody in the bakcground

[calltoduty5]

that would get me!!!

[corrietunes]

we are cumming we are cumming.. did they really think that through when writing the script for the kids

[6666kill3]

@corrietunes even tho they are saying "we are coming" , im still hearing " we are cumming " too

[xCurlGrlx]

@Daelion164 the alphabet song and twinkle twinkle have the same tune. Also ba ba black sheep.

[Daelion164]

@xCurlGrlx Holy shit your right. Never realised that

[42guide42]

It's amazing how a show that began as mostly mindless garbage turned into a mature, intelligent program. Children of Earth is one of RTD's biggest triumphs.

[VirelanAndakTakaishi]

Torchwood is actually an anagram for Doctor Who.

[magnetv]

never thought of the alphabet song being SCARY

[Daelion164]

@magnetv Its twinkle twinkle little star not the alphabet song lol

[SophieBirch14]

@Daelion164 Still creepy though

[PVRmode]

Watch full Torchwood episodes at PVRmode.com

[NekoEcho13]

Oh gawd. Children are ALWAYS creepy like that. o_o

[88HUSE]

God, I can't wait for Series 4. I dont wanna wait till summer

[elhacko1]

anybody think kids by mgmt would be an apporate but un fitting song lol

[Moonshine3991]

Bloody hell! I can't find the third season anywhere...! ='C

[ragnaught219]

@Moonshine3991 It's called Torchwood Children Of Earth. It's intense.

[ricojordanrai]

people from my school were on this 

[TheFireHawk7]

absolutely spinechilling.

[bobonita48]

does anyone know a way to watch torchwood season 3??

[johnsanchez4]

@bobonita48 Yes. You need to go buy this asap. Children of Earth isnt something you just download it is something you own. Period

[MolinMUSE]

One of the most brilliant stories on television in recent times.

[pixiedreamer13]

i love hearing this version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Wish I could download to my ipod. I love the creepiness. :)

[egXanimeXfreakX]

i totally shit my pants....

[BigFudge97]

When they said we are coming back, I shat myself

[nabilboulfelfel]

ohhh, chills!

[dw7fk]

i actually started watching torchwood from series 1 because i saw this preview. the show was diff then i expected but i love DW and torchwood!

[lahswe21]

yikes. i'm still on season 2 and now I don't know how i'm gonna wait till season 3.

[makistudio]

holly mother of...!!

[jamesbond0078857]

Is it just a coincedece that this was upload on the day of MJ's death?

[tade54]

I was wondering... if the aliens are called 456, what or who were123?

[thepuppetmaster2501]

@tade54 they call them 456 because the frequency the aliens used to contact earth was 456

[tade54]

@thepuppetmaster2501 I've realized it after I watched day 5. but thanks for answering

[Dreggmanfan]

Torchwood the new world is being filmed from January

[Sal0pe69]

best miniseries ever.

[krashburnrejoice]

Whole 5 part series on DVD costs less than that 40 minute Doctor Who cartoon, only thing that annoyed me was that cow who first suggested that some children are more expendable than others ended up in charge of government - I hope she gets a laser to her fat head in the series.

[delta0zero]

I never really got that into the first two seasons.. but damn this 5 parter was just amazing.. can't wait for the new season

[Guitarded270]

Troops rounding up civilians? Thats not too hard to imagine :/

[JadesVidz]

Okay, If anyone ever argues that American TV Is Better than British TV, I will show them Torchwood, End of.

[inferndragon]

Its a really decent Drama Serial :D

[iceclimber189]

One of the few things that can make me cry.  I'm not talking just tears, I'm talking the works.

[SEK117]

Wow! It got tickles everywhere! It's awesome! Torchwood is one of the best shows ever!

[protokolomega]

laaaangweilig

[Fran0Ran0]

"we are coming! "thats just god awful creepy. but awesome

[maribethlizziewlamer]

i saw and was sad when he hurt his own nephew

[BetaArtemis]

@maribethlizziewlamer It was his grandson, not his nephew.

[spoofmaker1]

can you get this theme on itunes?

[jnyeko]

Who thinks that 'Torchwood: Children Of Earth' was way better than 'The Dark Knight'?

[657patel]

@jnyeko why are you even comparing? they are two seperate things

[pandasftuw]

@jnyeko are you on shrooms?

[Ihavealife100]

@jnyeko That was incredibly random and a stupid comparison.

[superjoel01]

@jnyeko ME!!!!!!!!!!

[JB346Aussie]

@jnyeko By all means compare a 2 and a half hour movie dealing with a terrorist's mission to destroy social order to an alien invasion miniseries that is 5 hours long. Oh and are superhero and science fiction respectively.

Boy those apples are better than them oranges.

[johnsanchez4]

@jnyeko Agreed. I know it is wrong to say but Children Of Earth will be hard to out do. Let us hope that RTD can recreate that same magic with Torchwood: Miracle Day. Guess i have to order Starz now

[xletter24]

@johnsanchez4 I just found out the other day that live feed to Starz is included in the NetFlix package. I don't know how much it cost to add STARZ to cable, but I know NetFlix is $10 a month and that includes access to a lot of movies online and one movie at a time through the mail (that's how I'm catching up on Dr Who).

[toniswedberg]

@xletter24 Netflix is a deceptive company though. I will never use them again.

[mark33850]

@jnyeko me

[stealthtail]

That's some serious chizz.

[BetaArtemis]

Possibly one of the best series ever made! Torchwood really out-did itself with Children of Earth, it made me smile, it made me sick to my stomache with fear and grief, it made me bawl my eyes out, it showed me exactly what great television story is all about! Simply brilliant!

[livefromcouch]

effin sweet please come back for a fourth season

[KuteKoolKat]

creepy trailer!

Absolutely loved this series!

can't wait for season for

[delta769er]

that was an awesome 5 part series

[Namaechan]

Excellent music choice for this xD

[YoMommaShugga]

it was EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC , How many times must i say EPIC !!!!

[Mechanicaldrugs98]

creepy much

[loveusesdu38]

we are coming lol

[Wiggum1223]

@loveusesdu38 damn you, what has been seen cannot be unseen :P

[xoxsparklexox3]

can anyone tell me if and when this show( torchwood or children of the earth) are coming on again this year????

[rettie]

This is a too good of an illustration of fear-worshiping.

Why would anyone in this world wanted to love being scared?

I don't see any reason why anyone would love things like this, other than having an obsession with fear/evil/disharmony.

Why torture oneself with such emotions? Life has hardships on it's own. Enough to demean seeking hardships within screens.

[Wiggum1223]

@rettie Because TV/film is supposed to be an art form, and you know a piece of art is truly powerful when it messes with your emotions.

[rettie]

@Wiggum1223

Nope.

That's an option, not a prerequisite.

Insisting that it is is intolerant, stubborn, obnoxious, towards alternatives, and most definitely - close-minded.

Art can also set those emotions straight, an enrich, ennoble the audience. Messing up doesn't guarantee that it's art, either.

[Wiggum1223]

@rettie What I mean is TV should be an art form, it very rarely achieves that status.

I honestly believe that CoE is one of the few times that the word art can be applied.

[rettie]

@Wiggum1223

I agree that TV should have as much art in it as possible.

What I disagree about - is the necessity of art going hand-to-hand with disturbing visions of apocalyptic evil in general.

Honestly - I'd rather call the "Firefly" series art, rather than CoE, based on this trailer (which is to say that I like and appreciate "Firefly" a lot).

[Wiggum1223]

@rettie Judging by your comment I'm assuming you haven't seen the series itself, it's not the idea of apocalyptic evil that leads me to call CoE art, it's the ability to literally play with your emotions. It doesn't just do this by fear, although that is one of the primary goals.

I haven't seen Firefly tbh, so I wont pass judgement, although I have heard a lot of positive things about it.

[rettie]

@Wiggum1223

I openly said that I haven't - didn't I? That's what I've said - "based on this trailer".

Idea of apocalyptic evil may not have lead you to CoE - but it's motives, as presented here, are legitimately connectible to those motives.

Playing with emotions can be very noble, enriching and catharsic.

Take "Live and become", the French film.

[rettie]

Does it play with emotions any less? Is it less artistic because of absence of motive that can be legitimately described as cataclysmic.

What I am criticizing - is using art as a vessel to deliver fear into hearts of people in general.

I am praising Firefly on the account of it being very, very realistic and convincing, "human" - but in the same time allowing for strong characters, cheerful themes, happy endings and epic tales WITHOUT the cheesiness or a superficial approach to subjects.

[rettie]

@Wiggum1223

As a small off-topic - you are refreshingly not-biased and non-insulting in this, which makes it a discussion, instead of another flame war. It's very refreshing not to be insulted and labeled, and exchanging opinions, for a change.

Hat's off, Wiggum.

Many people mistake arrogance for being civilized and strength of conviction for education. So many, in fact, that I've gotten used to expecting senseless anger from speaking honestly and freely about things.

[MerlinAmbrosius17]

Season 3 (Children of Earth) was the point at which Torchwood truly came into its own, although season two was taking steps in the right direction. COE proved that Russel T. Davies was capable of elevating the show from its origins as a (frankly childish) adult Who spin-off with gratuitous sex, nudity and obsenities (which existed for no other reason than to provide cheap titillation and often even cheaper laughs) into a mature, powerful SF series in its own right.

[IantosCoffeGirl]

I really cried with Children of Earth... now I can't go to any park, I'm afraid!! what if the children stop playing and scream? O.o

[corey246]

Definatly some of the best TV I have ever seen. Smart, funny, emotional. Im sorry but no one does TV/movies like the British.

[ScorpiousMagnus]

The best 'season' of Torchwood yet.

[227060]

When I got the dvd I locked myself away and had a marathon watching ALL of Children of Earth in just over five hours, credits and all. That is the closest u will ever get to recreating the epicness of the first time u saw this serial

[227060]

This is like the old Dr Who serieals that last 5 or six episodes. This series was easily the best even though it hasn't got the typical Torchwood storyline of something coming out of the Rift

[Josienepienenien]

God, I loved it!

I cried at least 4 times and I watched them all in one day...

[227060]

I was truly rivetted andthought it gave a great comment about government, I'll always remeber the Cabinet scene when they are deciding what to do. God I love to hate the PM in CoE. The sad thing is the government probably would do something like that, and I don't mean "this labour government, that conservative government" I mean any British government

[spyboy1317]

i almost cry with the end D`:

epic season

[SaviorRina]

Dude...this gives me chills.

[curriejean]

That's because they played a well-known nursery rhyme off-key to the sound of children laughing.

I shouldn't be surprised that the formula works on some people, I guess.

[claudio1314]

filete eta serie

es muy wena lo malo es que esta en ingles xD

[BornTriggerHappy]

I came!

[GypsyLeah]

0:38

[elfwhitewave]

have yet to meet someone who did not cry at the final episode

[curriejean]

*shakes your hand*

I felt too hollow, drained and completely empty to cry. Kind of like a person suffering from depression, only short-term.

[227060]

U do mean in a good way right, cos the story was sad.

[TorchwoodGuy05]

Epic trailer

[Weegee7889]

i watched it and its gay but a good movie

[cantanstrophe]

It's not a movie. It's a mini-season for a TV show called Torchwood. It's a pretty good show; you should watch it.

[TomShayAdams]

lol

[pixiedreamer13]

all i can say, there better be a season 4.

[ntranced257]

yep its been confirmed that their will be a season 4

[pixiedreamer13]

I started to wonder if it'll be more like how they portray it on Dr.Who. Every time the Dr. meets with Torchwood people, it seems like the Dr. has to save the Earth. It'll be all new faces I am sure, hopefully they'll keep Gwen Cooper. It is just too bad the whole cast had to die within the 3 seasons. And hopefully we'll find out how Captain Jack Harkness fairs at the end.

[bradazdrwho]

jack went 2 dat space bar in d end of gtime prt 2 , dat where he telported @ d end of childrrne of earth

[curriejean]

There won't be another season of Torchwood. Instead, a new show will hijack the old name.

[Scoooobyful]

Huh? RTD said he could write the first scene for the net season off teh top of his head, and he'd know ehere you find all the characters. Also, Torchwood season 4 has just be confirmed!

[BossRoss999]

yes there is going 2 be a 4th seires

[227060]

No series 4 is coming out and there will b an American version which shall either b a remake or a spin off. I'm personally hoping for a spin off cos it would really expand the Dr Who universe

[JackJohnBarrowman]

I love Torchwood

It's the best of TV

[itcalledfatex]

freakin love torchwood and dr. who. can't wait till this comes out (: looks mega freaky.

[cutestarrrrr]

hate to tell you this but it came out months ago...

on the other hand, i love it too =]

[WeWillNotRockYou1]

It dont look that good though...

"We are cumming! UHUHUH!"

[Dominikowisz09]

@WeWillNotRockYou1 That is sad u know?

[WeWillNotRockYou1]

Im wasnt aware of that.

Thank you for informing me :)

[Mia646]

For Australia it has only come out 2 days ago.

[LittleGooseWalking]

Your right - its a classical song turned evil - creepy much?

[InkyMarshmallow]

The ultimate hair raiser...

[Serenity113]

"Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are."

How easily they can make that little song so eerie in this promo.

[dafmurray]

Is this the same basic idea as the 4th Quatermass series from 1979?

[DaynoG33k]

The aliens are drug dealers since kids are for them drugs i love it<3

[bullcurr]

If you ever SEE it, try to figure out why that 3 headed alien inside the controlled atmosphere "box" kept puking at intervals!

I'm serious it would just randomly PUKE all in that thing then go on like nothing happened!

[adlanth]

@bullcurr

Maybe it was in withdrawal.

Or maybe it was just a very 'alien' alien, who was naturally expelling fluids the way, we, for instance, sweat.

[sebbrown1]

is this worth buying on dvd, if you haven't seen much of torchwood before?

[steveneilsut]

I'd say yes, but knowing the previous two series would be advantagous. In some respects it's like tuning into a soap. You may not know the characters but after two minutes you get a good idea of what's going on. Besides you could always say the disc was scratched and get your money back...

[tardiselliot]

yeah its def worth buying. Its very standalone. It obviously draws on there relationship so far. But all you need to know is they fight against aliens, but they are currently down two members of the team due to the series 2 finale which is where children of earth picks up

[lozman67]

Download early torchwood - it's a bit hit and miss - but this ending is pretty stunning!

[TheBadWolfGames]

Word for the BBC:

You cannot end Torchwood after this. This was a hit. If you make a new series/season it will be a big hit. After this huge fantastic series you cannot end it.

:P

[jjes693693]

it was so good i thort it would be bad without burn but it was'nt lol :-)

[SLUSHO94]

Today is the German premiere!!

[techraven2]

Sometimes all you can do it take the least bad option. If he could have died, I'm sure Jack would not wanted to survive, but he's been damned to live forever.

And it isn't just Gwen and Rhes- Martha has an open invite, and there are others.

[pauldonald]

he doesnt live forever because we saw him die. remember hes the face of boe

[Beerbottles123]

we dont know if he is the face of bo, or its a coincidence that he is named 'the face of bo' from his childhood

[Joh739]

Chilling.

[charmedgamer01]

Not going to spoil it for anyone but what Jack had to do in order to stop the badguys, I cried

[moiskithorn]

Best. Torchwood. Ever.

[0LYRAWILL0]

Ive seen this episode, but i absolutly love it! It takes Torchwood to a new level.

[GlennPiper]

best story evvveeerrr it is so epic poooor poor jack what is gonna happen now?

[protonmonkey]

I told my friend to watch it, and even though she's not really a big sci-fi fan, she loves it. Now we're having all these discussions about ethics and the human race, it's brilliant!

[lostintimeline]

rip ianto rip owen rip tosh HAPPY NOW CAPTAIN JACK?? BECOUSE OF YOU THEY ARE DEAD.NOW WHOS GONNA RUN TORCHWOOD EH?? GWEN AND HER DUMB HUSBAND?? there goes the planet

[hanyouTolga]

And Toshiko and Owen are dead :[.

[XxRhii102xX]

Loved it :) the best torchwood i think (Y)

[RunningWulf101]

same here. I loved it too. It was like the best sci fi i've seen. they pulled off everything. and it was done so good. It reallly touched you in some points though..some parts were really sad and emotional. 5/5

[drwhofan7]

This is just the best ever ad in the WORLD!!!!
