Torchwood fans, rejoice! Well, maybe. A month after John Barrowman announced he’s in talks to bring the Doctor Who spin-off back to screens, Eve Myles AKA Gwen Cooper has given us more hope the show could get a Captain Jack-style resurrection.

When asked by RadioTimes.com if we’d get more Torchwood on TV (last seen in 2011 miniseries Miracle Day) the 38-year-old actor told us with a very telling grin: “If I did I couldn’t possibly say because of the consequences.” Well, a true Torchwood agent wouldn’t give up the secret that easily, would they?

However, Myles did divulge her thoughts on the show’s recently completed audio plays: “They’ve been amazing…We’ve had an astonishing response to them. But then again the fans of Torchwood have been loyal since day one – they’ve been amazing!

“[The audio plays] keeps the fans alive with brilliant storylines and keeps bringing the characters back – even those that have passed away in the series. It’s Torchwood; you can do anything with it! It can be film, it can be TV … to still be playing Gwen Cooper after all this time is a treat!”

So, would Myles reprise Gwen in a new Torchwood TV series? “Of course I would!” she said. “I mean, when do you get the chance to play Gwen Cooper as an actor? It’s a gift from Russell T Davies to me, which I’m very honoured about.”

And will she return as Broadchurch’s baddie in series three? “I cannot say anything, sorry!” Myles told us with another big grin.

Until we wait for confirmation, you can catch Myles in new period drama Victoria, where she’ll be starring alongside former Doctor Who assistant Jenna Coleman.

Speaking to us at the show’s rep carpet premiere, Myles, who will play Queen Victoria’s senior dresser, said her favourite moment on the show wasn’t acting alongside Coleman, but seeing the gigantic set for the first time: “we walked in and there it was – they’d built Buckingham Palace! It was incredible!”

Better get used to that size, Myles – The new Torchwood base will need a fair bit of space if Captain Jack keeps that pterodactyl inside again…
