firstly I think he probably just said he was disappointed with a mini series but it has been blown out of proportion.
Secondly I think the BBC have done the same as normal, try to destroy a great program by killing off all the best characters in a short space of time and deduct screen time when the likes of Jonathan "I like the sound of my own voice" Ross gets whatever he likes. Cut their shows and make more of what we want, afterall we pay a licence for this.

having just watched the last in that series i doubt the Beeb have any plans to bring back, this was an assasination. Plus the happy hetero ending (with all the gays safely dead or unhappy) was particularly galling, rip jack and ianto- the only none stereotypical gay relationship on the BBC. - what no squealing or bitching, cant have that, lets get rid of them and replace it with some more tripe about cooking celebrities..

I have just watched episode 5 of series 3. I am gutted that it's finished. Come on BBC give us more, after all what are we paying you for!!!! Hurry up with Series 4 and please make it longer than 5 episodes.

I don't think he was "blasting" the BBC. More likely, the papers are exaggerating (as they often do). He's just unhappy about having a truncated season, as are the current fans. I love Torchwood, have been waiting for ages for Season 3, and only getting 5 episodes, no matter how wonderful they may be, is a bit disappointing.

Bad timing or no, he does have a valid point. If the ratings are good enough to get the programme moved to BBC1, why reduce it to a miniseries format, particularly in a year when Doctor Who isn't running a normal season either?

Yes, it's going to be huge, and I'm not going to miss a minute of it. That doesn't stop me from wishing it lasted longer.

From the tone of this post, I can't quite tell whether you dislike John Barroman, think he's an ungrateful git, or a combination of the two.

Agree with the beautiful butt!! On the other hand, I think John is awesome. He IS Captain Jack, and Torchwood, which has a higher viewership than the Doctor, (ok, I'm kind of surprised, too,) deserves more than just the mini series.

After seeing Barrowman as a judge on Any Dream Will Do, all I can say is I'm not surprised. He seems like pretty much a total butt a whole lot of the time.
