Well, it’s been a long time coming, but cameras are finally set to roll on a fourth season of Torchwood for broadcast in 2011. But the big difference of course is that it’s going to be shot in America, courtesy of a co-funding deal with cable network Starz. Russell T Davies remains in charge of the show, and both John Barrowman and Eve Myles are set to return.

And now Myles has been talking a little about the forthcoming shoot, as she prepares to uproot her family to America to film the new series. “To be honest, I am quite nervous and apprehensive but then I still get nervous every time I start a new job and then as soon as I’ve filmed the first day I calm down a bit”, she told Wales Online.

As for her thoughts on Torchwood in America, and getting back down to work?

“We’re not sure yet whether we are going to be living in Los Angeles or Canada but Torchwood is already very popular in America and I had no idea exactly how big it was until I was in Washington DC and I saw myself on the back of a bus. Weird. It’s got an absolutely massive fan base, it’s been the number one sci-fi show for the past three years out there”, she said.

She added that “I haven’t managed to see John much but we get on so well that as soon as we start working it will be like we’ve been together for weeks.”

Myles revealed that the shoot for the new series will begin next January, ahead of its broadcast in the summer of 2011.

Expect more details between now and the end of the year…
