Torchwood (Doctor Who fans, take a look...)

Oooooh, interesting... hope it is legit and goes all the way!

The next Dr.Who is going to be at Christmas.

Well, true, but not entirely relevant...

Right! Now that the new Dr. Who episode began the plotline that will eventually result in this new series. time people were reminded of this, I think!

Seen it, but its interesting.

New Series on BBC3

It's a spin off from Doctor Who, I believe, with Captain Jack from the first series of the revamped Doctor Who.

It looks promising. 😊

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.

I really like the sound of this. I can't wait. 🙂

Most spin off shows go down the plug hole.

Merged, 'cos I was way ahead of you.

I really don't like the X-Files meets THIS LIFE(URGH) part...

I take it by that, it's not one for the kids to settle in front of then...

I knew about this ages ago... sounds decent. The women who played that maid girl in the ghost episode of Season 1 of Dr who (the one withj Dickens!) will act as his assistant...

Yeah there was a picture of the two in some sci fi magazine a few months ago, looked a good pair.

What's this about? A spin off? When was this? 😑 Why is there so much to ask?

I'm definitely going to be finding SOME way to watch this.

This shall be the thing that will fill in the Doctor's boots until he returns.

Filming is delayed. Word is it will be before Christmas, but nothing is settled. Optimistic expectation would be September/October.

Well, I meant was, rather than is- they already showed some filming work in Doctor Who Confidential. But yes, it's not imminent. Look towards Autumn.

Bumping this because I just finished watching the first episode!

And you know, I'm actually almost hoping this isn't aired in the US. Would make it easier for me to watch...but they would edit the hell out of it. Which would annoy me immensely...
