Psychotronic Time Lord's blog: "Time Lord Times (The Whoniverse)"

The high-octane second season will take the Torchwood team through dare-devil action, temptation, heartache, and a life changing event. Ever since Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) disappeared in the Season One finale, the Torchwood team - Gwen (Eve Myles), Owen (Burn Gorman), Toshiko (Naoko Mori), and Ianto (Gareth David-Lloyd) - has had to cope without him. It's clear that, strong as they've become, there is no replacement for their mysterious Captain. Thankfully, slick Captain Jack returns in time to battle a rogue Time Agent, the charismatic-but-psychopathic Captain John Hart, played by James Marsters (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Smallville). From the moment these two Time Agents come face-to-face, it's apparent they have a history - but with Gwen's life in danger, and cluster bombs scattered across the city, whose side is Jack on? The second season also features guest appearances from Alan Dale (Ugly Betty, The O.C.), Richard Briers (Hamlet, Monarch of the Glen), Ruth Jones (Saxondale, Gavin & Stacey), and Nerys Hughes (The Liver Birds, District Nurse). In addition, for three episodes, Doctor Who's Martha Jones (Freema Agyemen) teams up with Torchwood to help solve a series of mysterious deaths in Cardiff. She steps into the Hub for the first time, bringing the Torchwood team medical expertise learned while time travelling with The Doctor. First up: Episode One - Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang Captain Jack returns as the Torchwood team reunites to fight a rogue Time Agent. The mysterious Captain John Hart (James Marsters, Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) is determined to wreak havoc and needs to find something hidden on Earth. But with Gwen's life in danger and cluster bombs scattered across the city, whose side is Jack on? Torchwood: Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang premieres Wednesday 16th January at 9:00pm (UK) on BBC Two.
