DoctorWhoNews.com has picked up a report from TV Guide saying that there will be a third season for Torchwood to begin filming in August to begin tranmission on BBC1 next Spring (in the UK).
However only five episodes have been confirmed, which will consist of a five part story to be shown over one week. TV Guide has been told there could be more.
The TV Guide report includes a quote from Executive Producer Julie Gardner: "We've decided to do a five-part mini-series, one big story that will run during one week, I wanted to make a really big noise about the show."

Torchwood season 3 gets mentioned by Andrew Mercado in yesterday Sydney Sunday Telegraph in a paragraph that also mentioned two other shows of special interest to Doctor Who fans: "ABC British mystery series Jonathan Creek will film a Christmas special (its first in several years), cult sci fi series Blake's 7 is returning for two new episodes (after its 1981 finale) and Torchwood will have only five episodes for its third series."

I'm kinda disappointed that given there will be minimal Doctor Who in 2009 I was expecting a full series of Torchwood, but I suppose some is better than none! But if the rumors are true as to which characters will be joining Jack and Co. on a permanent basis (Martha and Mickey) for future episodes then I am slightly hesitant...

Martha makes sense, but isn't Mickey more or less confined to Pete's world with little or no reason to leave?

6th to the 10th actually.
It's good to know that the 20 or so people that have UKTV in Australia will get to watch it close to the UK airing, I'm not one of them.
