Wowsers. Day One of Children Of Earth concluded with the most cliffhangery of cliffhanger endings. Jack actually exploded inside The Hub, while the possessed children of the Earth announced: "We are coming... back". In this opening instalment we also learned that Gwen was pregnant and Captain Jack has both a daughter and a grandson. Click 'play' below to watch cast members Eve Myles (Gwen), Kai Owen (Rhys) and John Barrowman (Jack) talking about the ep 1 twists:







That's absolutely the final part of our interview with JB, we promise. Now, looking ahead to episode two - airing Tuesday at 9pm - here are some hints:

  • Gwen escapes from the wreckage of The Hub in an ambulance - then joins up with Rhys
  • Ianto is forced on the run while being shot at by a sniper
  • As for the fate of Jack - well, let's just say that his dismembered body parts are slowly recovered from the scene...
  • PC Andy makes his first appearance, but his "assistance" in proceedings may mean bad news for Gwen
  • Rhys learns that Gwen is pregnant - in the most unlikely of places
  • The kids expand their message to include details of when we can expect 'them' to be coming
  • There's one of the most disgusting scenes ever seen in Torchwood
