It will come on Friday July 15 at 10 ET and every Friday for the next 9 weeks. The 1st episode is on at 10 ET tonight and on sometime tomorrow night for anyone that missed it.

Works out rather well, I can watch Harry potter then go home and watch Torchwood

I actually though it was pretty good. Did prefer the older episodes, but that doesn't mean this series is bad. Just different.

And I loved the jokes about the Severn Bridge. Too true. Nearly ?6 to get over it now! (and as Gwen made a point of in the clips of upcoming episodes - Wales is NOT England tongue.gif).

Awful, they've totally Americanised it.

I wouldn't say it was awful, I really enjoyed it but I agree that it was very Americanised. They even said "Season" and not "series" which is something that really annoys me for some reason. Was nice to see the actor who played Greg Pratt in ER ( I forgot his name) :D

So i guess all the big alien stuff of Doctor Who (the Christmas specials) and Torchwood (Children of Earth) never made the news in America or never happened because the CIA woman was surprised about aliens.

lol +1 point made!

utter crap - the yanks part fund it and turn it into yet another boring seen it all before CSI clone. It just doesn't befit the Torchwood name.

I'm tempted to say that I agree but I'll wait until 've watched a bit more before making a final decision. The hardest thing for me was the jarring difference between Eve Myles's very natural acting style and the new American cast who just seemed very wooden in comparison.

I thought the bit about the CIA agent racing out of a hospital, jumping on a plane and renditioning everyone within a few hours was pretty silly as well.

The first two seasons of Torchwood were a bit silly but I thought Children of Earth was really excellent. Hopefully this will improve over the next couple of episodes to match that.

Can't watch it any more, 3 episodes in and it's getting far worse with each episode :(

RIP Torchwood and shame on you Russell T(wat) Davies for supposedly 'overseeing' production but ultimately letting the Yanks murder your previously successful series!

You should have let the BBC pick it back up and continued with the successful formula you had before.

Muppet!

RIP Torchwood

These two points are exactly the opinion I was thinking when coming in this thread

I've always felt first series of torchwood was rubbish and then it got better with Children of Earth being its highest point. Sadly this series so far has let it down.

HOWEVER I've started watching it so I will watch it to conclusion and I just hope it will get better

what series is children of the earth?

Im up to speed with the latest series of Torchwood, and its been my first time properly watching.

Ive watched some early episodes which had individual stories per episode, but only watched maybe 2 and thought they were too silly to carry on watching.

Children of Earth would be Series 3, but I don't think they ever labeled it as such.

    • 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.
