Do you mean Dark Talk or Torchwood?

Thanks coffeegirl.
Todays darktalk is very funny,make sure you watch/listen,not long to watch it as the next one is Friday.
Does anyone save the darktalk videos or is it just the mission stuff?.
This weeks BBC 3 episode was another odd episode,not sure what to make of it anyone got opinions on it?
The thing is not all Torchwood's stuff is going to be based on the ARG/Game... Some of it is Backstory for Torchwood/Doctor Who.
Much like the last episode of Doctor Who last season when we found out that:

Captain Jack = The Face of Bo/Beau. Now THAT was a shocker lol.

Are you serious? lol, wow no offence cos I know there are some people out there who've never heard of it; but I know even the cool people who're not nerds like me (meaning I'm a nerd lol) Know of Torchwood it's just kind of suprising!
Torchwood is a spinoff series to Doctor Who (you MUST have heard of Doctor Who, right?) And the name Torchwood is actually an anagram of Doctor Who. But anyway it's about an Earth Based Coalition (Much like U.N.I.T in the Dr. Who series') Who track and monitor alien activity in a rift which is constantly opening and closing throughout Cardiff, Wales.
Edit: I do find it strange that they're airing the 12th episode Friday night though. On TVRage.com (which can be relied upon usually) it has the next 2 episodes listed as.
25 2x12 28 / Mar / 2008 Fragments.
26 2x13 04 / Apr / 2008 Exit Wounds.

The schedule can always be found on the BBC;
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-perl/whatson/search/advance_search.cgi?keyword=torchwood
http://www.bbc.co.uk/torchwood/sites/news/pages/production_news_26_torchwoodmoving.shtml
So:
Friday 21 Mar - Adrift BBC2, Fragments BBC3
Friday 28 March - Fragments BBC2,
Friday 4 Apr - Exit Wounds BBC2
I've seen statements that BBC3 will not air Exit Wounds first, but nothing definite
the_velociraptor, a good overview of Torchwood can be found at wikipedia.

Any particular reason they've switched it from Wed to Fri?

I think it's a extra episode as an Easter treat for Good Friday. Notice that the activation date in mission 9 is the same date as this extra episode - time for another intersection in plots I reckon

I'm not sure because if you look @ Chelec's post. "Fragments" will be shown both this and next Friday... With the final episode of the season "Exit Wounds" being shown again on a Friday, April 4th.

I would say its because of The Apprentice but thats on BBC1 now with the fired show after on BBC2,On BBC2 in the 9PM slot is some documentary called The Secret Peacemaker.
Dunno why the BBC have decided to mess up the schedules for things.
From my TV magazine it appears BBC 3 arnt showing the last episode next Friday at 10pm & Eastenders & Little Britain take the slots followed by Upstaged & Family Guy.

I know but they realised that the Friday slots weren't getting awesome ratings merely because it was on a Friday which is why they switched it to midweek in the first place...
That's why I was wondering. I should have said switched it back to Friday's, sorry lol.

Not sure why the switch to Friday, but pretty sure that the reason there are 2 episodes this week - and therefore 2 missions in the game - is to finish up the season before April 5, which is when Doctor Who is planned to start.

You know how, sometimes when you type a wrong answer in the mission response, it gives you tips?
I often notice "Tosh's video will help" or something like that...
I've missed a few missions... and I keep looking for this video it keeps talking about... where do I find it? :S
This is probably a really stupid question....
Same place all the evidence/clues are:
Mission>current mission.
Tosh's guide
AHHH THAT WAS DRIVING ME CRAZY THANKYOU SO MUCH haha.
And sorry for the stupid question xD

Todays BBC3 episode was good,cant believe we've waited this long to find out about the background of the characters & how they became part of Torchwood.
Cant believe I've got to wait 2 weeks for the final episode on BBC2 though,its pure evil BBC3 arnt showing it.
Todays mission was good although:

Even though Abigail was an alien I liked her,its a shame she had be killed,she made me laugh every week
