Torchwood started its life on television as a spin-off from Doctor
Who, bringing Captain Jack to join new colleagues in a television
series that quickly established itself as fresh and watchable
television. Its fourth series, subtitled 'Miracle Day', also moved
from the niche channel of BBC3 to metamorphose into an
international production between the BBC and the US network Starz.
Torchwood has continued to entertain, provoke and attract large
audiences and an expanding fandom. This is the first critical
celebration of Torchwood across its four series, considering issues
of representation, as well as the fandom that surrounds the show
and its complex contexts. Focusing in particular on how the
meanings and understandings of cult television have shifted and
become subject to technological, industry and marketing changes in
recent years, Torchwood Declassified explores aspects of the show
including its aesthetics and branding, its use of tropes from the
horror genre, vast tie-in merchandise, status as a spin-off, the
nature of a celebrity that is both cult and mainstream, as well as
the use of sound and music, and Torchwood's connection to place and
location.
