BBC Worldwide reveals Torchwood: Miracle Day poster

Torchwood actors John Barrowman (Captain Jack) and Bill Pullman (Oswald Jones) took to the red carpet at Cannes earlier today, to promote the new series of programme at MIPTV.

BBC Worldwide also revealed an all-new poster featuring Captain Jack, which has the tag line "Death Is Not An Option".

The two stars were accompanied by Torchwood executive producer Julie Gardner, who commented:

"Season Three was transmitting on BBC1 around the time that I moved to Los Angeles to work at BBC Worldwide Productions. Russell T Davies had also moved there and was looking for new challenges and wanted to try for a US career. (Seeing how well it did in the US, we thought) maybe there was another chapter of Torchwood to be told. And very happily we were able to see the title to Starz."

"The pillars of the show are actually the same. But I think the difference is that because of the quality of the co-production partnership between Starz and the BBC, we have an opportunity to tell a big story over ten episodes. The fact that we are transmitting on a pay premium cable channel means that we have to compete production-value wise in that environment. We're filming at the moment and from what I have seen so far we are able to do that."

Torchwood: Miracle Day will be broadcast on BBC One and Starz in July.
