TORCHWOOD THIS WEEK October 4, 2008 - Vol 2, No 39 The weekly guide to Torchwood transmissions. by Benjamin F. Elliott http://groups.yahoo.com/group/torchwood http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho |

Doctor Who schedule information is in This Week In Doctor Who http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho . |

New Zealand - TVNZ's TV2 http://www.tvnz.co.nz is going straight into Torchwood series 2 this Wednesday, having finished Series 1 last Wednesday. Torchwood is still on in New Zealand. |

Canada - SPACE http://www.spacecast.com is airing Torchwood in 65 minute timeslots. So make sure your recording device is scheduled to record Torchwood for 1 hour, 5 minutes instead of 1 hour. If you are in the Central and Mountain Time Zones and also plan to watch Doctor Who Series 4 on the CBC, check your cable/satellite provider's channel lineup to make sure you have other regions of CBC. In those 2 time zones the 65 minute Torchwood broadcast on SPACE will overlap Doctor Who on CBC (9PM all time zones), and neither show has a repeat slot. Satellite customers should be fine and it is believed that most digital cable subscribers have multiple CBCs too, but the time to check your lineup is now, as opposed to the 19th of September. The conflict ends on 24 October when the series 2 finale airs. |
SCANDANAVIA - the BBC Press Office http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice announced Wednesday that Scandanavia will see the launch of a new set of BBC channels in December. BBC Entertainment Scandanavia will replace BBC Prime in the country and will likely air Doctor Who and Torchwood. BBC HD will also launch in Scandanavia and could also air Torchwood. The BBC will launch the new suite of channels and retire BBC Prime in all of the Nordic countries - it is not clear if this will happen simultaneously or if it will be just one Nordic country at a time. Each country is supposed to get their own version of these channels. BBC Prime continues for now in other countries, though the eventual plan is to replace it altogether will lots of localized BBC channels. |
