TORCHWOOD THIS WEEK
March 15, 2008 - Vol 2, No 10
The weekly guide to Torchwood transmissions.

Torchwood shoved to Friday to make room for the Sugar daddy.

BBC Two and BBC Three will air Torchwood on Wednesday for the last
time on the 19th. BBC Two - 2-10 From Out of the Rain at 9PM. BBC
Three - 2-11 Adrift at 10PM. Torchwood airs on Fridays from the
21st, with Adrift on BBC Two at 9PM and 2-12 Fragments on BBC
Three at 10:30PM. Fragments airs on BBC Two on Friday 28 March,
with 2-13 Exit Wounds premiering on BBC Two on 4 April at 9PM.

The reason for the date move - the UK version of The Apprentice is
back for a new series on BBC One. Wednesdays 9PM from 26 March, with
the elimination show on BBC Two at 10PM. Hosted by Sir Alan Sugar,
The Apprentice has been very successful, and presumably the BBC does
not want to have Torchwood and Sir Alan in competition with each
other.

Been catching up with the BBC America Saturday broadcasts. The last
couple of episodes have started on time (9PM Eastern) but ended at
least a minute late. You may want to set extra time on your
VCR/DVDR/Digital Video Recorder to see the full episode. I do not
know how this is affecting the late night repeats of Torchwood on the
station.

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

I am trying to find websites and station information for some of the
more elusive Torchwood sales. If you spot it airing or getting ready
to air in your country, and I've missed it, let me know so it gets
into the next edition and more fans get informed.
