Torchwood creator Russell T. Davies explains his decision to put his TV projects on hold.
In an interview with PinkNews, Davies explained that his TV work has been put on hold following his partner’s diagnosis with brain cancer:
“That’s where we are now. He’s had thirty consecutive days of radiotherapy and chemotherapy and we’ve got six months of chemotherapy ahead of us.
“I’ve stopped work. I haven’t worked since August. We’re lucky we’ve got enough money in the bank that, if need be, I can take the whole of next year off. [..] It was a simple decision: he’s more important. Who gives a f**k about writing scripts if I can stay at home with him and make his day a bit happier?”
This obviously puts Torchwood on ice, if it wasn’t already — though I think everyone can understand why TV might not be a priority for him at this time. Earlier in the year, Starz CEO Chris Albrecht said that another Torchwood series was largely dependant on whether Davies was behind it.
