Torchwood - Children of Earth is the official name of the third season of the series. Unlike previous seasons that relied on "monster of the week" style plot scenarios, a five episodes are linked and form part of a larger story. It follows the actions of Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman), and his remaining colleagues Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles) and Ianto Jones (Gareth David-Lloyd) as they investigate an alien force that is demanding the sacrifice of a large percentage of Earths children, whilst also being hunted by the British Government.
