We now know a little more about this, they are an organisation that collects fallen alien technology and MacGyvers it into new technology for Earth. The first mentioning of Torchwood was in "Bad Wolf", it was part of a question that was something like "What now stands on the site of the former Torchwood building" suggesting it went public at some point, but in "The Christmas Invasion" even the United Nations was not aware of it.
The series, which will show on BBC3 in the Autumn of 2006 will star John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness, who was last seen in "The Parting of The Ways" having been revived from his death while defending the Bad Wolf station from a Dalek attack in the year 200,100 (or at some time near there). It has been stated that there will be no explanation as to how Jack got back to the 21st century, however it was also stated that the Captain would return to Doctor Who in series 3/29. This may be no longer relevant as this may have been before any Torchwood work began, or it could be that he will be picked up by the Doctor in a later episode, and he will eventually stay behind on Earth to work with Torchwood

it is refreshing to see a character that isn't hung up on sex/sexuality but who isn't Kirking!
