Trivia
Having been set up to do so by the conclusion of her storyline in Doctor Who: Journey's End, Freema Agyeman was due to reprise her role as Martha Jones. However she was unable to due to "scheduling issues". Russell T. Davies explained that Agyeman was cast in Law & Order: UK before Children of Earth had been officially commissioned. Because Law & Order offered her 13 episodes a year, she went with that over Torchwood which had been reduced to 5. In response, Davies created the character of Lois Habiba, played by Cush Jumbo, to be a "kind of a Martha figure", one with added innocence who is out of her depth. See more »Goofs
Colonel Oduya states that the children stopped at "8.40 GMT". From the paper that Ianto picks up the date is given as "Wednesday September 2009". If this is correct, then the UK is still on B(ritish) S(ummer) T(ime), and "8.40 GMT" doesn't fit with the school run. See more »Quotes

Having grown up with Nigel Kneale's truly haunting "Quatermass" with Sir John Mills, this latest "Torchwood" series brought back many childhood memories as there are shades of the final '70s series in this production. With a most mysterious alien force at work and the earth in true peril, season three of the series has a true emotional resonance with the viewer.
This is a new, revised "Torchwood", aimed at a more mainstream audience but now equipped with a bigger budget and a prime time slot on BBC1. As a result, the series pulls no punches and delivers a more satisfactory experience than many of the recent "Doctor Who" tales.
The pace of this season is perfect and the production team acknowledge the age old adage that what you don't see is far more frightening than what is revealed. With excellent production values, "Children of Earth" is a true treat for dedicated "Torchwood" fans and the more casual viewer who is new to the adventures of Captain Jack and company.
