She lives, especially from when Ianto died, in complete guilt. And she loses people around her all the time. However, everyone seems to be overlooking a very significant, important factor: in all his regenerations, the Doctor has been many things… but he has never been Welsh.
Doctor Who has a lot of ties to Wales, of course. It films there, for one thing. The organisation was destroyed at the end of season two of Torchwood with their Cardiff headquarters in ruins after a series of bombs rocked the Welsh capital.
Torchwood season 5 has never happened — in spite of the fact the Doctor Who spinoff was never canceled. Russell T. Davies launched the Torchwood spinoff series in , and the last season aired in Captain Jack Harkness became immortal in season 1 on Doctor Who in the last episode. He died and resurrected thanks to Rose. Jack was contaminated with the nano genes during his first two appearances. Thus when he dies they resurrect him back to that version. Russell T Davies and the Torchwood team have been, rightly, following a similar philosophy.
Torchwood has now lost three major cast members across six or seven episodes, and not because of a dispute with an actor or anything like that. The characters concerned died because the story demanded that they do so. And yet, off the back of the death of Ianto, Internet campaigns have started to spring up. Take a look at www. The site is urging people to send a packet of coffee to Mark Thompson at the BBC, echoing the protests that saved the Jericho TV show in the States where mountains of nuts were sent to CBS, as a show of fan support for the programme.
Only in the case of Jericho , the protest was about the canning of the whole programme, not the death of one character. Ad — content continues below.
Digging through the guest book for the site, the BBC is, to be fair, responding to such protests too. To commemorate the ten year anniversary of Ianto's on-screen death on 9th July , John Barrowman and Gareth David-Lloyd have been reunited in studio for Torchwood: Serenity.
Originally scheduled for release on 25 July, this very special Torchwood story has been made available EARLY as a surprise treat for fans of the show. The announcement was made on social media at midday on Tuesday 9th July with the hashtag IantoLives. Since then, Torchwood has been revived as an international co-production for television in Miracle Day , and continues to thrive in multiple audio drama ranges courtesy of Big Finish. Fans of Torchwood and Ianto Jones were absolutely dismayed when the character was killed off as a result of gas poisoning by alien menace, the Serenity Plaza is the most exclusive gated community in South Wales.
