John McCall writes: I just rewatched Children of Earth the last few days and have to say how compelling it is. Peter Capaldi is going to be good as the new Doctor I predict. I also forgot about the terrible sacrifice Jack had to make at the end. Really dont understand why the show ended. Anyone know why they went the mini-series route? Heres the Wikipedia answer: Because the BBC was not awarded the increase in the licence fee it requested, Torchwood (like Doctor Who and The Sarah Jane Adventures the same year) faced budget cuts. As part of Davies agreement with the BBC, Torchwood was stripped across the networks premiere channel, BBC One, every weeknight for one week in July 2009. Despite the move to BBC One, the show was cut from a standard thirteen episode run to just five, something that lead actor John Barrowman felt was almost like a punishment from the BBC.
