20 More Teasers for Torchwood: Miracle Day Released

We're growing ever closer to the premiere of the fourth season of Torchwood. Torchwood: Miracle Day, as its titled, premieres tomorrow night on Starz. Unfortunately for UK fans of the series, the series won't be premiering until July 14.

To tide both audiences over until the big premiere, though, Doctor Who TV has released twenty new spoilers for the first episode of the series, titled "The New World." The teasers show some indications of continuing previous storylines while creating new ones. Interestingly, it looks like there's going to be a mention of former Doctor Who companion Rose Tyler, who travelled in the TARDIS alongside Jack Harkness for a while. Apparently, though, Ianto Jones isn't mentioned in the first episode (though he will be mentioned later on, according to showrunner Russell T. Davies). Here are ten of the teasers; the rest you can find on Doctor Who TV's website:

Remember the Bad Wolf virus that erased all information regarding Rose Tyler from the Torchwood database? Well, it’s been reappropriated.

“I’m sorry. They brought me in as an expert, but I don’t know what the hell this is.”

There is no mention of previous main characters Toshiko Sato, Ianto Jones, Suzie Costello, or Martha Jones. However…

Lots of characters meet for the first time, including more than one that are related.

“Yes, I’m feeding her lard. Keep telling her that and by the time she’s 13, she’ll have a total psychological complex!”

Jack is apparently living in Kazran Sardick’s living room, as a squatter.

Only humans are affected by “the miracle.”

There is graphic nudity – if you consider a nipple graphic.

Someone betrays Torchwood. It’s genuinely surprising and heartbreaking.

The episode runs exactly 49 minutes, 42 seconds, plus 1 minute, six seconds of closing credits, plus a 1 minute, 15 second montage of clips from upcoming episodes, for a total run time of 52 minutes, three seconds.

Kazran Sardick, by the way, is Michael Gambon's character from the most recent Doctor Who Christmas special, "A Christmas Carol."

Check out ten more teasers for Torchwood: Miracle Day.

Torchwood: Miracle Day will premiere on Starz in the US on July 8, and on BBC One in the UK on July 14.
