New "Torchwood: Children of Earth" goodies

The BBC has released a press kit for the upcoming Torchwood Series Three, and in it are some goodies about everyone's favorite gay/omnisexual alien-fighting couple, Captain Jack and Ianto Jones. Here's what gay series creator Russell T Davies has to share about the fellas:

The relationship between Captain Jack and Ianto has developed. Was that something you'd be planning for a while?

"Not planning, as such, it just grew naturally out of the scripts and performances from John and Gareth. And it's such a rich area – the sheer will-they-or-won't-they tension of two men getting closer.

"But, again, you can come to Torchwood as a new viewer and follow their relationship from the start – you won't get lost! And it's honestly a pleasure to write for two such fine actors – they make the whole process a delight."

Local fave Gareth David-Lloyd, who plays Ianto, adds: ""It was nice to film those elements of the series. As it panned out across previous series, the relationship between Jack and Ianto has been quite organic. So it was nice that we get to the stage in series three where they are going through all the usual couple difficulties. I think the way it's been done is extremely real.""

Additionally, John Barrowman says that Children of Earth is "one of the darker Torchwood storylines" (yay!) and from the previews, which are filled with creepy, alien-controlled children, I don't doubt it.

If you haven't yet seen the trailer that was released a few weeks back, I've reposted it below. July can't come fast enough!
