The BBC *made* huge amounts on Torchwood, and Wales had a noticeable upswing in tourism. Then canonically 2/3 of the cast was killed off and everything that made Torchwood unique from Dcotor Who - the hub, the team, the rift, was either blown up or ignored.
I don't see too many means of bringing it back short of bringing it back as a whole new show with a whole new cast - i.e., making it start all over again from scratch with only the name to recommend it - and ways of crossing it over with the home show are going to become more difficult with Who because the shows now have different frontrunners.
And that's before you get into the fandom backlash over Ianto or snuff as entertainment.
