Torchwood - Planning Fourth Season

Torchwood might not have concluded its run at the end of the thrilling miniseries Children of Earth after all - Ianto?s tragic death not withstanding. The new year could bring some ?very good news? for fans of the sexy sci-fi series, creator Russell T. Davies tells TV Guide Magazine.

?The recession has hit British television, but fingers crossed, it will be a go. We expect things to start to move in January. We?ve got great ideas for the show. I think there?s a further lease on life for many years to come, but certainly for a [fourth season],? Davies says. John Barrowman is finishing his run in ?La Cage Aux Folles? in London, so there?s plenty of time to trade his feather boa for Captain Jack?s trench coat.

Such good news! Always hoped they'd bring this back.

Actually he does...?

He is Scottish and moved to the states with his parents and he used to get picked on for his accent so he started talking in an American accent.

Actually i'd disagree with that.

A good friend of mine moved to London from Northern Ireland when he was 10, he's now 40 and has a cockney accent. Would you say his accent is fake?

I wouldn't.

No its not, but did your friend put a fake cockney accent on after moving to london because he was being bullied?

Or like most people did it gradually change over time, Barrowman intentionally put on a fake american accent because of being bullied, it didnt creep in gradually.

Are you trying to tell me an 8 year old boy never picked up the accent? That he is still faking it today?

If you are then let's agree to disagree.

CONFIRMED 13 EPISODE SERIES!

John Barrowman was a guest today on Steve Wright in the Afternoon on BBC Radio 2. During the interview he discuses the future of Captain Jack in Doctor Who and confirms that Torchwood will be back for 13 episodes.

Are you trying to tell me an 8 year old boy never picked up the accent? That he is still faking it today?

If you are then let's agree to disagree.

Yes i am, go watch any documentaries when he goes home to scotland to see his family he reverts back to his proper scottish accent.

My guess is you have only lived in one region in your life? I'm sorry if i'm wrong.

I'm Scottish blood but have lived in England my whole life, i spent a lot of time in Scotland with my Scottish family. I have a strong Cockney accent but within hours of being up in the highlands i will and do talk with a much more Scottish accent.

The idea than 8 year old boy moved to America and is still faking the accent as a grown man is absurd. He was 8 when he started talking like that and so what if he comes back to Scotland and talks Scottish accent, doesn't make his US one a fake.

Russell Tovey to join 'Torchwood' team?

John Barrowman has hinted that Russell Tovey is in line to join the Torchwood team.

The pair recently starred alongside each other in the Doctor Who Christmas special when Captain Jack and Alonso Frame met for the first time.

Speaking to Doctor Who magazine, Barrowman described Tovey's character as "the perfect companion" for Jack.

"What I'd love, what I think would be great, is if Midshipman Frame became Jack's companion in Torchwood. He's the perfect companion for Jack.

"It'd be like Batman and Robin. Of course I'm Batman. He's Robin."

Torchwood third series, which aired in July last year, saw fan favourite Ianto Jones killed off in the penultimate episode, leaving just Captain Jack and Eve Myles's Gwen on the team.

Had a feeling this would happen, when the Doctor fixed Alonso up with Jack. What I would really like is to see Martha and Mickie maybe make an appearance, better still, make it regular. Although I doubt it, what with Freema Agyeman working on Law and Order: UK. Still, would be nice to see Mickie.

An anonymous message-board source says that the naughty Doctor Who spinoff may be spending some time in the U.S.A. for its fourth season. This would be part of a twisty time-travel storyline that includes tons of guest stars, possibly including Nathan Fillion as another Time Agent, Brent Spiner as a U.S. Senator, and more of James Marsters as Captain John. Even the anonymous message-board poster urges you to take this with a grain of salt, since it's all up in the air. (But with Russell T. Davies hanging around L.A., I could imagine him wanting to do some storylines set in the U.S.) [SciFiPulse]

Nathan Fillion :o :D

Here's a man who clearly has two accents... and is struggling to maintain one at a time!

Heh, I wonder if he knows he's switching accents. It's so cute! And that woman's accent was HAWT omgz. Phone number?

Yeah I think it was pretty obvious they were going to do that from that scene alone. But uh, isn't Ianto going to come back anyways? LOL

Nathan Fillion :o :D

Nice. Along with Doctor Who I'd LOVE to see Torchwood episodes based in the US. I think they could do some awesome storylines with US locations imo. Plus, it'd be nice to see Fillion on there, and even better to see Marsters back and Spiner! :D

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
