I had almost forgotten to finish uploading my behind the scenes pictures from my time on the Dr Who and Torchwood sets! The big cog-wheel-door (which always reminded me of Deep Space Nine) is as convincing as the rest of the set, until you thump it and hear the dull thud of plywood.

Torchwood set photos: details, details, details
So, if Torchwood is such a super-secret, literally underground operation, then why do they brand everything? There is not a detail on the set that doesn’t have a logo – old or new – stuck to it somewhere. Even the drinking fountain!
Torchwood set photos: the subway
The ‘subway’ used to link the different Torchwoods together (Besides Cardiff, there is the one in London that featured in Doomsday, one in Glasgow, and apparently one that went missing). The network fell into disuse, so now it’s where they have pizza and beer. As realistic as all these tiles are, when you touch them you can tell that they’re painted wood and paper.
The Welsh dragon on the wall is a nice touch. Apparently Tosh was painting it there, but that backstory never featured in an episode. I guess it never will now.
Torchwood set photos: Jack’s office
Some more pictures of the Torchwood set. Check out the coral on Jack's desk – apparently he’s trying to grow a TARDIS! The old style television sets appeared in the Dr Who episode, The Idiot’s Lantern. To the left, on the floor, you can see the hatch to Jack’s ‘bedroom’, where Chris Moyles got stuck. There is a copy of Little Dorrit on the desk, in reference to the BBC show, starring Eve Myles.
Torchwood autopsy room, set photos
A selection of photos from the fantastic Torchwood set. This impressive 360º set was detailed for HD, so everything is highly realistic – until you touch it! Check out the slides up on the big lightbox wall. The dead body on the slab is a corpse from ‘The Lazarus Experiment‘.
TARDIS pics are coming…
Here is just a little sneak peek at some of the photo’s I took today, on the amazing Torchwood Hub set and, of course, the Tardis! I have many other pics I’m working through so expect more over the next few days. I need to relax a little now though…
Torchwood uses Linux! Ubuntu, to be exact…
Image
Sadly this shot didn’t come out the clearest, but I spotted today that one of the computers on the Torchwood Hub set was running Ubuntu. It had VLC running, so I’m assuming that they use free software to play all the graphics that give you the illusion of a super-advanced OS.
