Doctor Who Spinoff Torchwood

[Quest]

Captain Jack will be spun off of Dr. Who into his own scifi series in the summer of 2006 on BBC 3

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.

Well so long as its not anything like K9 and Company then it should be worth watching

I doubt they will follow in K9 & Co's footsteps, lol. I have a feeling this spinoff will be a good one.

[dmck]

From what I'm hearing about it it should be very good, and finally Wales gets to be itself instead of a London stand-in.
But what are they going to call the Dr Who demo tapes now, word is the name "Torchwood" is what the first season's demos had written on them to keep them out of prying Who Fan's hands!

Well filming will be starting in about a week, then we only have to wait till about November to see it.

"Well now," - I've been following this spin-off on it's repeat screening on, BBC 2 on a Wednesday evening at 9pm (as I don't have Digital) and, I've found it a great deal better than I was expecting it to be.

By the way, "TORCHWOOD" is actually an anagram of "DOCTOR WHO"!!! ;D

[jabberwocky]

Well I have watch the full season now, It started reather disappointingly for me but it did improve with some of the stories. But I have to say that no matter what you will never find a job enviroment where everyone is bi. or in Jakes case Tri as in Try anything.
Still even with the improvments in story writing I don't feel that I will bother to following this series.
