Torchwood: The New World Preview

In just two days, we'll witness the opening events of Miracle Day, a brand new series of Torchwood that sees the entire population of the planet Earth become immortal- is that a blessing or a curse? Don't expect answers as to who is behind the Miracle or their motives for causing a global population boom this week, but do expect a reintroduction to the remaining members of the team and the new American characters, as well as one or two huge action setpieces to kick the new season into gear! Here are some hints of what's to come in Episode One, The New World:
1. The episode opens with a suitably dark 'death' gone wrong.
2. CIA agent Rex Matheson must travel abroad to find what he wants.
3. Where has Captain Jack Harkness been in the year that's passed since Children of Earth?
4. Gwen and Rhys are living in an ideal house in the countryside- well, ideal for some...
5. "Owen Harper, FBI!"
6. Gwen's family are affected by the Miracle, drawing her and her newborn child Anwen into danger once more.
7. "My arm hurts."
8. Brace yourself for a few predictable scenes explaining what Torchwood is- the US is watching now, remember!
9. Jack bursts back onto the screen with a literal bang...
10. Helicopters and rocket launchers make for an explosive ending to an exciting opener!
Torchwood Miracle Day: The New World airs this Thursday at 9pm on BBC One.
