UK Fans Not Happy, And I Can't Blame Them!!!

Torchwood star Eve Myles has claimed that she understands fan frustration at the show's UK airdate.

US viewers will be able to watch the first episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day on Starz on July 8, but UK viewers will have to wait an additional six days to see the same episode on BBC One.

Myles (Gwen Cooper) told The Hollywood Reporter: "We never, ever, ever wanted to take this show away from the original fans. What we always wanted to do with the show was give them a gift every year, something wonderful, a big, big present.

"It works out that it will be a week after the US showing, and obviously we have nothing to do with that, me nor John [Barrowman] or [showrunners Russell T. Davies and Julie Gardner]."

Myles also promised that Miracle Day will be "the best, best series yet" and encouraged fans to "hold on tight".

"I'd just like to remind them that they're our fans," she said. "We want them to sit back and enjoy it, be proud of it like we are, and to stick with us. If it was up to me and John, we'd have it to them straight away. But it's not."

Myles also argued that UK viewers have "waited long enough" for a new series of Torchwood.

"These people have waited just over two years for this next season," she explained. "I'd like to say that if I had something to do with it that this wouldn't be happening. But, sit tight, because it is a fantastic ride."

Torchwood: Miracle Day will premiere on Thursday, July 14 at 9pm on BBC One.
