  • From their temporary base Gwen, Ianto and Clement listen in on the Government as 456 makes its demands of Frobisher. The 456 want a gift, they want the children. Clement remembers the first time the 456 came to Earth in 1965, and when a familiar face emerges from the shadows his distress is all too apparent. Dramatic clip taken from the third season of Torchwood.

    Absolutely loved Children of Earth, hands-down the best Torchwood series - far better than Miracle Day. I think what made it so good was the realism of it, and how the aliens were so ambiguous and threatening without being overt about it. The fact that we didn't actually know whether or not the 456 were actually capable of destroying the planet or not made for a real eye-opener - if this happened in real life, could we possibly take that risk? No. And it's not even that they're just asking for something like resources or water - the fact they want children is chilling enough, but the fact they want them to use as DRUGS of all things is just abhorrent, probably as messed up and offensive to the human condition as you can get. No warships, no lasers or bombs or even a properly visible enemy - just a threat, in words, that we could not possibly risk refusing. The concept of the aliens is very human and real-world in itself - drug use and child abuse - and our reaction to it is, unfortunately, disturbingly true to what would likely happen: governments would cave in, especially our petty British one. Very clever concept and execution. Can't praise it enough!

      Good point, but resources like water are far more vital to survival of life on earth than human children. Here they ask for 10% of the Earth's children- which is a lot, put into perspective, but it's not near as important as if they'd asked for 10% of the Earth's resources. Sad though it may be, (and for a rather sick purpose, too) it would also help curb overpopulation.

    It's not the 1st time they have had Actors/actresses play minor roles in doctor who and then move onto major roles. Just look as Freema Agyeman. She appeared in "Army of Ghosts" as a Torchwood 1 scientist and then she was casted as the doctors new assistant as Martha Jones and they mentioned in an episode that the 2 characters were cousins to each other to account for the same actresses.

      V-Rex Just because they live a different life to what you perceive as "normal", does not mean they are less worthy of living. By your ridiculous logic, I could say that children from 1st world countries should be the ones to die because they've already experienced a good life. If we really couldn't fight the aliens then a fair response would be to take 10% of children from all countries from all walks of life. It does the least amount of damage to any one nation/culture/ way of living, spreads the pain across the board and isn't insane.

The storyline was fantastic, it was full of mystery, there were fantastic characters with fantastic supporting performances from the actors (especially Eve Myles as Gwen and Peter Capaldi as Frobisher). The monster, the 456 was probably the most creepiest and most disgusting monster I have ever encountered in a sci-fi series. Truly wonderful series, a thoroughly deserved 10/10 from me.

    Also Peter Capaldi didn't shoot his wife and children the character he was playing did jeez it is a sci-fi production, make believe, After the director shouted cut the woman and children got up and went about their normal everyday business.

    I've been binge watching Torchwood and thought it was pretty dark, specially the 2nd season, but Children of Earth made me change my mind. I don't think tv has ever got creepier than this. It was very painful too - Jack has made many mistakes, but how much did he have to endure in his life? Killing Stephen in front of his daughter was horrible and sickening, but better dead that way, rather then live your whole life attached to a terrifying creature that uses you as a drug. I think the most disturbing thing was seeing the child with the 456. And I would have probably shot my children as well, rather than being forced to give them to those monsters, condemning them to a lifetime of hell.
