Kai: There has to be more Torchwood

Kai Owen says the final episode of the new Torchwood mini-series is so "phenomenal" there has to be another round of the programme.

The Welsh actor, who plays Gwen's love interest Rhys, said the cast are just waiting for the go-ahead.

"Waiting for the nod, hopefully it will be happening - nothing has been confirmed yet but I'd do it forever, it's a brilliant job," he said.

Kai continued: "I mean, it gets better after that first episode as well, it makes you want to watch the other four and they get better and better and better, episode five is so phenomenal, so it's got to happen again."

Talking about the new series, which airs next week, he said: "It was just lovely to work on one big storyline all the way through it.

"I loved that part about it really, because we all knew what was happening and we were all excited to see how it was gonna end because we knew it was all gonna tie in."

:: Torchwood: Children Of Earth, a new five-part series for the BBC, runs every night next week starting on Monday at 9pm.
