Okay, random Doctor Who - and Torchwood-related speculation for next year... not actually SPOILERS for anything, but if I'm right, it could be huge...
Let's see:
1) Russell Davies and John Barrowman have said that Torchwood series 3 is going ahead... and a fan who asked Russell reported that he said it would be moving to BBC1.
2) ...but the BBC haven't officially announced the renewal yet.
3) Why would they be holding off on the announcement?
4) There are also rumors that the BBC1 run of Torchwood will be some sort of Special Event-type broadcast -- more of a miniseries than a full season, filling in for the lack of Who. That could be worthy of a major press launch.
5) But that still wouldn't be a reason to delay the announcement after Torchwood's season finale.
6) One possibility: something about the third season's new format or cast will depend on what happens in the season finale of Doctor Who, so they're holding off to avoid spoiling that.
7) This would fit nicely with the rumors flying around that Martha is going to join Torchwood as a new regular.
8) But... since we already know Martha can wander into Torchwood any time she likes, after her previous guest spots, that wouldn't be a Who spoiler, would it?
9) What about someone else joining the team as well?
10) Someone mentioned Mickey as a possibility.
11) He'd have to end up back in our universe, which would be a pretty big spoiler of just that sort.
12) But it's hard to picture him leaving Rose behind in her universe.
13) Hang on... A couple of years back, didn't Russell successfully pitch a one-off Special Event thing to BBC1 which never materialized, showing Rose working at (her universe's version of) Torchwood?
14) ...Oh my God now *that* could be a spoiler.
15) I can hear the internet exploding from here...
Now: I have no idea whether this is even the slightest bit right. But if next season's Torchwood is the Jack, Martha, *and* Rose Show... you read it here first.
