There will be 12 episodes, four of which have been completed and another four are currently recording. As for next year, there will be four specials (not counting the already recorded 2008 Xmas special). These will all be made with Russell T Davies as producer (Steven Moffat steps into the role from the beginning of Series 5), so the series isn't really between producers quite yet. Regarding Torchwood, the viewing figures for Series 2 have certainly been healthy, and the impression I got whilst in the UK is that the show is still highly regarded at the BBC and is likely to keep going. The fact that there will be a five-part mini series in 2009 is no more an indicator of declining fortunes than Doctor Who's own 'gap year'.
