I find it pretty weird that a main cast member is left out of this article, Indira Varma as Suzie Costello. I tried to put her in but the edits are not sticking so I would not be able to rate this as a good article. |

:Late answer, but her presentation as part of the main cast in episode 1 was meant to hide the fact she was killed off in the same episode; she was effectively a recurring character only appearing during her temporary resurrection or a brief flashback after that.

== Chibnall as showrunner? == |

@[[User:TheDoctorWho|TheDoctorWho]] I'm not convinced we should be listing Chibnall as a showrunner for Torchwood, on the basis of a single outlying passing mention that describes him as such. The first line of [[showrunner]] suggests that a showrunner must be an executive producer, which I think holds true given commonly understood production aspect of the position. Hence Chibnall being far more commonly described as "head writer" for the first two series. I've not seen any substantial indication that he ran the day-to-day production, and the article prose doesn't indicate that either.

:I wouldn't say there's an excess of sources crediting him as such, but there are a few others.

[https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/doctor-who-torchwood-return/ Barrowman also refers to him as such in this quote that Radio Times has]. I can't personally speak for the executive producer credit. While I know that IMDb isn't a reliable source, and I would need to actually verify he's credited as such, [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1163823/ he does appear to be listed as a co-producer] for the first two series, which means he did serve in some sort of producer-related capacity. Similar to your reference of Wikipedia's page on showrunners, I'll also point out that the [[head writer]] article states "{{tq|In fictional comedy or drama TV shows, this is generally performed by an executive producer, who is usually also the showrunner}}" (emphasis on the term ''generally'' which provides room for exceptions).

Considering the new audiobook series ''Torchwood: Aliens Among Us'' is referred to as Torchwood Series 5 by many sources including the producing studio [[Big Finish Productions]] should we update this article to include it (treating it as a series)?

Is Torchwood back in 2020

Chibnall as showrunner?
[edit]@TheDoctorWho I'm not convinced we should be listing Chibnall as a showrunner for Torchwood, on the basis of a single outlying passing mention that describes him as such. The first line of showrunner suggests that a showrunner must be an executive producer, which I think holds true given commonly understood production aspect of the position. Hence Chibnall being far more commonly described as "head writer" for the first two series. I've not seen any substantial indication that he ran the day-to-day production, and the article prose doesn't indicate that either. U-Mos (talk) 07:11, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
- I wouldn't say there's an excess of sources crediting him as such, but there are a few others. This GamesRadar+ source for example. Barrowman also refers to him as such in this quote that Radio Times has. I can't personally speak for the executive producer credit. While I know that IMDb isn't a reliable source, and I would need to actually verify he's credited as such, he does appear to be listed as a co-producer for the first two series, which means he did serve in some sort of producer-related capacity. Similar to your reference of Wikipedia's page on showrunners, I'll also point out that the head writer article states "

" (emphasis on the term generally which provides room for exceptions).

I also think Davies should be listed above him, as he'd also be showrunner of the first two series and more indisputably so. U-Mos (talk) 08:18, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
