It starred John Barrowman as Jack Harkness, Eve Myles as Gwen Cooper, Burn Gorman as Owen Harper, Naoko Mori as Toshiko Sato, Gareth David-Lloyd as Ianto Jones and Freema Agyeman as Martha Jones for episodes 6, 7, and 8.

== Overview ==
It consisted of thirteen stories and thirteen episodes. The first episode saw James Marsters appear as John Hart. It included glimpses of the 51st century and the First World War. Freema Agyeman guest starred as Martha Jones from episode 6 to episode 8.
The opening monologue spoken by John Barrowman was revised for this season; instead of saying how "you" have to be ready because in the 21st century "everything changes", it was now a more proactive statement, saying, "Torchwood is ready."
