SEASON PREMIERE: Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang- Saturday, January 26th at 9:00pm ET/6:00pm PT with an encore at Midnight ET/9:00pm PT on BBC America.
Captain Jack returns as the Torchwood team reunites to fight a rogue Time Agent. The mysterious Captain John Hart (James Marsters, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) is determined to wreak havoc and needs to find something hidden on Earth. But with Gwen's life in danger and cluster bombs scattered across the city, whose side is Jack on?
The high-octane second season will take the Torchwood team through dare-devil action, temptation, heartache, and a life changing event.
Ever since Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) disappeared in the Season One finale, the Torchwood team - Gwen (Eve Myles), Owen (Burn Gorman), Toshiko (Naoko Mori), and Ianto (Gareth David-Lloyd) - has had to cope without him. It's clear that, strong as they've become, there is no replacement for their mysterious Captain.
Thankfully, slick Captain Jack returns in time to battle a rogue Time Agent, the charismatic-but-psychopathic Captain John Hart, played by James Marsters (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Smallville). From the moment these two Time Agents come face-to-face, it's apparent they have a history - but with Gwen's life in danger, and cluster bombs scattered across the city, whose side is Jack on?
The second season also features guest appearances from Alan Dale (Ugly Betty, The O.C.), Richard Briers (Hamlet, Monarch of the Glen), Ruth Jones (Saxondale, Gavin & Stacey), and Nerys Hughes (The Liver Birds, District Nurse). In addition, for three episodes, Doctor Who's Martha Jones (Freema Agyemen) teams up with Torchwood to help solve a series of mysterious deaths in Cardiff. She steps into the Hub for the first time, bringing the Torchwood team medical expertise learned while time travelling with The Doctor.

The BBC's Doctor Who website has released a new trailer for the upcoming Christmas special, "Voyage of the Damned". It can be viewed by clicking on "14" in the site's Advent(ure) Calendar. UK viewers can also see the trailer on the BBC's YouTube page.
John Simm returns as time-traveling detective, Sam Tyler, who, after a near fatal car crash in present day, wakes up dazed, confused and in 1973. Freaked out by his new and outdated surroundings, Sam tries to return to the present. Has he gone crazy, in a coma or traveled back in time?
Season two sees Sam clearly established in the upper echelons of Manchester's Police force, so he's still at odds with his chain-smoking, bigoted, technologically-backward and corrupt boss, Detective Chief Inspector Gene Hunt (Philip Glenister).
Gene's maverick methods of policing continue and his desire to rid Manchester of criminal scum is stronger than ever, now that his mentor, Superintendent Woolf (Kevin McNally, Pirates of the Caribbean), is back at the precinct. However, Sam is astonished to find that his own mentor and inspiration from present day, Chief Inspector Glenn Fletcher (Emmet Brown, Outlaws) has also joined the team - although he's just a fresh-faced, new recruit, dealing with the extra pressure of the racist attitudes of his new colleagues. Marc Warren guest stars as Tony Crane - another ghost from Sam's ‘future past' - who's a sleazy casino owner with a line in counterfeit cash. When Sam realizes the danger Crane's girlfriend, Eve (Yasmin Bannerman), will face in the future, he tries to put him away in a style that's more old-school than what he'd usually recommend.
As Sam continues to use his knowledge and the techniques of the future to solve crimes in the past, each case offers some key to the mystery of his life. And, as the series draws to a close, the messages and visions Sam habitually perceives start to link up, pointing in one direction. Perhaps the voices he hears aren't those of doctors by his comatose form in modern day. Perhaps Sam's journey has murkier origins than he imagined. Certainly, its destination will chill Sam to the core.
With classic music by David Bowie, Santana, T Rex, ELO, Roxy Music and Thin Lizzy, a guest role by Hustle's Marc Warren and an episode written by the creator of Torchwood, Chris Chibnall, the final season promises a thrilling finish and, finally, the fans will learn the truth about Sam Tyler and how he came to be stuck in 1973.
Episode one and episode two will run back-to-back in a special two-hour premiere!
Episode one
Despite eerie visions that suggest a tantalizing proximity to modern day, DI Sam Tyler once again wakes up to find himself very much amongst the pale brown hues of the technologically prehistoric, politically incorrect world of ‘70s Manchester. And worse, he's got a murder to solve. Sam encounters the young incarnation of Tony Crane, a nasty villain he put away in his previous life. This is his chance to do what every cop dreams about- stop the killer before he kills. Stepping outside of the law to make sure Crane is put away; Sam shocks even his brash colleagues in CID (Criminal Investigation Department). But what they can't understand is what Sam fears - that, since his car accident, Crane has been released and found his way to his hospital bedside where he is exacting his revenge on Sam's vulnerable body. Still desperate to discover how he got to 1973, why he remains there and how he may return to the present day, Sam has to race against the clock to capture a killer, who is trying to murder him in the future.
Episode one airs December 11th at 8pm et/pt
Episode two
At a loss to discover the guilty party in a spate of armed robberies, A-Division goes to prison to escort notorious safe-cracker Dickie Fingers (Steve Evets) back to CID. However, as they transport him out of jail, they are set upon by a dangerous gang who will stop at nothing to get their hands on Fingers. As his mentor, Superintendent Harry Woolf, presides over the investigation, DCI Gene Hunt is keener than ever to show off his team's effectiveness, and they head straight for chief suspect Arnold Malone (Stephen Bent) who tips them off about the next robbery. Jaws drop in the CID unit when their first African-American team member arrives, DC Glenn Fletcher. Sam is taken aback - not because Fletcher's black, but because Fletcher's his mentor from his old life. Glenn becomes the butt of Ray's shockingly racist jibes, and yet seems happy to put up with it - something the present-day, older Glenn Fletcher would never do.
Episode two airs December 11th at 9pm et/pt
