"Torchwood" - BBC America Premiere Sat, Sept. 8th:

From the BBC America site:

http://www.bbcamerica.com/

TORCHWOOD

Save the planet - one alien at a time!

Premieres Saturday, September 8 at 9pm.

<><><><><><>

This site doesn't have a separate web page for Torchwood yet.

At the top of the page, on the right hand side, click on Torchwood, and a video clip of the promo commercial will play (formatted in Adobe Flash Player 9).

And here's a surprise for dial up users -- whatever BBC America has done for their video, once it loads, this puppy plays normally. No stops and stars like over at SciFi Channel's SciFi Pulse.

[Hulabaloo]

I think it was

Spoiler:

marry,shag, and throw off a cliff

Spoiler:

It was, "Me, Alan and Justin. Marry, shag or throw off a cliff?" I watched it today, I Sky+ it. His answers were, David = Shag, Alan = Marry and Justin = Throw off a cliff, but he said he'd shag him first if it made him feel better.

Edit: Gotta feel sorry for the Americans, they're behind on Jekyll which was one hell of a show, plus two series' of Doctor Who, however, they get to see Atlantis before we do...

Thanks. I just saw it that day via alternate means and I laughed so much during the show I may have heard it wrong.

[ShadowMaat]

Hee! I was just listening to one of the Big Finish audio adventures and when the Doctor was talking about "...a rather nasty little group motivated by self-interest disguised by patriotism and completely amoral. They call themselves..." I could practically hear the word "Torchwood." Alas, it was a different group, but I was too busy being amused to care.

Would that be the Forge, or someone else again?

[BruTak]

Ok gang, it's time to light the fires an' kick the tires...

As of the end of September, we will have virtually non-stop Dr. Who related programming until Wimbledon 2008.


First off - The Sarah Jane Adventures begins a 10 week run.

Next - On Christmas Day, the Dr. Who Christmas Special "Voyage of the Damned".

Then in January (probably the 2nd, taking over the slot vacated by Heroes), seaon 2 of Torchwood.

Which takes us up to March, and season 4 of Dr. Who.


Ohhhh, the antici....

...pation.

[ShadowMaat]

Would that be the Forge, or someone else again?

Yup, the Forge. Haven't run into them yet.

As for SJA, when does it start?

[BruTak]

As for SJA, when does it start?

Last week of September I hear.

[Reefgirl]

At least it'll take the edge off of Atlantis, which I'll probably watch for the first episode then give up

[Mr Prophet]

Yup, the Forge. Haven't run into them yet.

They're a lot like Torchwood 1 and rather more pro than the Cardiff mob.

TV Best Bets for Saturday, September 08

*All Times Eastern


Torchwood

9:00 PM - BBC America

Like "Doctor Who"? You'll love its cousin, whose title is an anagram
of that sci-fi stalwart's name. It chronicles the adventures of
investigators who use otherworldly technology to solve crimes
involving both aliens and humans. They're a young group, but that
could have a sinister explanation. John Barrowman leads the cast as
Capt. Jack Harkness, the group's boss.

[prion]

'Torchwood's' hero comes out to play (and save us from aliens)

excerpt:

From the moment he swashbuckled into the reimagined "Doctor Who" universe in 2005, Capt. Jack Harkness has been an immensely appealing character.
Part of that appeal stems from the retro good looks of Harkness, a mysterious space adventurer clad in the sweeping greatcoat of a World War II hero. This is just my two cents, but the blue-eyed, square-jawed, energetic Capt. Jack makes Tom Cruise look like a tired old hag.
