Torchwood Filming Next Week

According to a brief comment by John Barrowman today's installment of ITV's "This Morning," which Barrowman has been filling in as guest host all week, Torchwood, the Doctor Who spinoff series he and Eve Myles will star in for the autumn, begins filming "next week". There is currently no official word from the production, but this is indication that the series will film during the off-time for Doctor Who (which starts filming its third series in July). Barrowman also noted that the series would be "more adult, more saucy and I drive around in a big vehicle," and he commented that his character would soon be an action figure: "Yes I am going to be an action figure! I proofed it last night and it should be on the shelves soon." (Thanks to Chuck Foster, Stuart Jackson)
