SFX online carries news from the Beeb that more cast members have been added to the new Who spin-off, Torchwoos, about to start filming in Wales shortly. Burn Gorman, last see in the new Bleak house adaptation, will play the team’s medic, Owen Harper while Naoko Mori (who appeared breifly in last season’s Aliens of London episode) will play Toshiko Sato, Torchwood’s gadget and technological wizard. Last weekend’s werewolf epsiode of the new Doctor Who began building links to the spin-off show when viewers saw Queen Victoria, in a very League of Extraordinary Gentlemen moment, deciding to establish a cover group called Torchwood to protect the British Empire from dastadrly aliens and supernatural threats (I have visions of Mulder and Scully in Victorian garb for some reason now).
