Torchwood on BBC Three
Captain Jack gets his own show!
Torchwood will debut on BBC Three late next year. Created by Russell T Davies it stars John Barrowman as Captain Jack.
"Torchwood will be a dark, clever, wild, sexy, British crime/sci-fi paranoid thriller cop show with a sense of humour - the X Files meets This Life," says Russell T Davies.
"It's a renegade bunch of investigators charged by the British government to find alien technology that has fallen to Earth," BBC Three controller Stuart Murphy told The Independent.
The show will be set in Cardiff, and will be 13 45-minute episodes, transmitting between series of Doctor Who. Confirmed writers include Sapphire and Steel creator PJ Hammond.
If you saw the second episode of Doctor Who last weekend you will see the relation between that and this new 'spin off' series. I'm really excited, especially since I loooove John Barrowman (Captain Jack). Shame it isn't on until next year though.
There's more about it on this web site - The Torchwood Institute but be warned (especially you Heather) the site probably contains spoilers for the current series of Dr Who.

We've just seen the 2nd ep of Dr Who, and while "Torchwood" was mentioned in the Christmas Invasion, the scene at the end of Ep 2 was far more explicit about the concept. Poor Doctor!
BTW... (continued in the Dr Who thread, since it doesn't really belong here)

Yeah, Robin was just telling me about this yesterday. How cool. I loved Dr Who. Watched the first season with him on Sci-Fi. Can't wait for more.
