"Four new cast members have been revealed for Torchwood: Children of Earth, the shortened third season of the cult show. Producer Peter Bennett told Torchwood Magazine about the additions, a mixture of established and upcoming talent.  Former Cape Wrath star Lucy Cohu will play Alice, described by Bennett as &amp;quot;a woman keeping many secrets from the past&amp;quot;.  Susan Brown, best known for her turn in The Riff Raff Element, plays Bridget Spears - &amp;quot;a character vitally connected to the government, which plays an important part in this story&amp;quot;, according to Bennett. The quartet is completed by newcomers Cush Jumbo and Rik Makarem, with the former playing Lois Habiba, &amp;quot;a secretary who hacks into some vital information&amp;quot;, and Makarem portraying Doctor Rupesh Patanjali, a &amp;quot;junior doctor at St Helen&amp;#039;s hospital who gets drawn into Torchwood&amp;#039;s investigations&amp;quot;. They join a trio of previously announced guest stars - including Peter Capaldi - in the third season, which is currently filming for transmission on BBC One in early 2009. &amp;gt; Click here for our review of Torchwood&amp;#039;s second season "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
