Torchwood, Torchwood S1 Unpublished Script - Virus

original production material

An original but unpublished production screenplay for Torchwood Season 1.

In 2005 the BBC announced this episode in the original lineup but it never materialised. Annotations on this production used script indicate they intended to shoot it, but the reason for cancellation is unknown.

It is very witty and richly embellished with season 1 lore - including elaborating on the Gwen and Owen fling, references to Ianto and his stopwatch, Owen displaying his wry wit, and the usual high drama!

Themes originating from this episode definitely reappear in later seasons, with the reanimation of Owen in season 2 and Miracle Day coming to mind.
