One: I am a Welshman; two: I am a drunkard; three: I am a lover of the human race, especially of women.

Wales Comic Con

Gareth will be appearing at Wales Comic Con in Wrexham, North Wales, at Glyndwr University, Wrexham on Sunday September 27th, 2009 alongside Katy Wix (Rhiannon, Ianto's sister) from Torchwood: Children of Earth.

For further information please go to Wales Comic Con.

Are We There Yet?

With Torchwood: Children of Earth airdates confirmed around the globe (9-00 pm July 6th-10th in the UK; check out the calendar for others), trailers and promo pics emerging, we can at last say yes, we are almost there.

Before that, of course, we have a treat or three in store in the UK with the new Torchwood audio dramas on Radio 4 during the afternoons of 1st-3rd July. Don't be disheartened if you can't tune in to the Afternoon Play slot 2-15 - 3-00 pm - there's always the trusty iPlayer. Or the BBC's download facility . Failing that, CDs of the dramas are available for pre-order now.

Gareth has asked us to tell you that Ianto fans should enjoy the third play, The Dead Line, in particular as it has one of his favourite scenes. And as we mentioned a few weeks ago, there is a Q&A session with Gareth in #16 of the official Torchwood magazine (out now), along with masses of CoE and audio dramas info and pics. As if all that wasn't enough, Ianto is this issue's Hub Pin-up.

Lots more info on our Torchwood page.

Sin Eaters Signing

Gareth will be appearing at Borders Bookshop in The Hayes, Cardiff at 1pm on Saturday August 15th to sign copies of the Torchwood audiobook The Sin Eaters, which he narrates.

For further information, directions etc. please go to Cardiff Borders' website.

Newport Blues

Blue Gillespie will be playing TJ's in Newport on Friday 14th August 2009.

Our Prince Charming

Fancy some good old thigh-slapping fun?! Gareth is set to play Prince Charming in the Preston Guild Hall and Charter Theatre's production of Cinderella this Christmas. The panto will run from Tuesday 8th December 2009 to Sunday 3rd January 2010, and you'll find ticket booking info in the What's On section of the theatre's website. He's behind you! Oh no he isn't (oh yes he is!).

Message from (poorly) Gareth

Thanks to everybody who was supportive at Torchsong and to all the lovely people who've sent messages and comments afterwards. And I apologise for not being at the Children of Earth preview, which I came back from the US for, but it seems I brought a souvenir back with me - con 'flu!
