According to the dubious Which Torchwood Character Are You? quiz at buddytv.com, I am “tough-Welsh-chick-with-a-heart-of-gold” Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles). Of course, it would have been nice to have been Captain Jack Harkness, but I’m not nearly that self-confident.

Here is the breakdown:

You may be extremely ambitious and feisty, but your compassion and ability to relate to people helps keep you grounded. However, your empathetic nature and your desire to believe in the goodness of others can sometimes hinder you when you’re put into dangerous situations. Romance isn’t hard for you to find, but your affairs don’t always end well.

This is as accurate as any horoscope, I suppose. At least I’m not Owen Harper…

Which one are you?

Breaking news from Blogtor Who: Torchwood will return for another series, a full 13-episode season (not just a mini-series a la Children of Earth).

The news was given by John Barrowman on BBC’s Radio 2 in an interview with Stephen Wright. I have transcribed the relevant clip below (pardon any inaccuracies):

STEPHEN WRIGHT: “And what about Doctor Who? I know that you like the new Doctor Who, and of course there’s Captain Jack. Are you going to have further adventures in the new Doctor Who series; is there going to be any more Captain Jack?”

JOHN BARROWMAN: “Well, first off, the Doctor Who aspect I don’t know about Captain Jack’s future in Doctor Who, because nothing’s been said or I haven’t been asked. I’m kind of prepared that I won’t be in any of it, which is fine… but, Torchwood — we are discussing the future of Torchwood, because most definitely Torchwood will come back to the BBC, which is fantastic.”

STEPHEN WRIGHT: “But you’re not sure when.”

JOHN BARROWMAN: “We’re not sure when, ’cause we have to work out the logistics of the filming and it’s already said that it’ll be 13 episodes instead of 5.”

STEPHEN WRIGHT: “Okay, well, that’s great news!”

Great news indeed!
