IllusionTV http://www.illusiontv.com , a service that provides sci-fi
and fantasy shows to US cable companies' on-demand programming
lineups, has announced that they will offer the classic Doctor Who
series beginning in January 2008. It is unknown at this time how many
stories will be offered. IllusionTV notes on their website that there
is no cost to see their shows on demand beyond a customer's existing
digital cable subscription. Shows do have commercials in order to pay
the costs of the service. A pre-Doctor Who David Tennant can be seen
in the 2005 Quatermass remake this month through the IllusionTV
service.

Torchwood schedule information is included in the Torchwood This Week
