Torchwood Series 3 will be promoted to BBC One and air in Spring
2009. Right now only 5 episodes have been commissioned, which are
planned to air over one week. They are leaving open the option of
making more episodes. John Barrowman returns as Captain Jack for
these episodes. See the report at http://community.tvguide.com/blog-
entry/TVGuide-News-Blog/Todays-News/Torchwood-Season-3/800040744 .
SciFi Russia http://www.scifichannel.ru has added Torchwood and Doctor Who to their schedule. Torchwood is apparently having its Russia premiere. Episodes air Monday at 9PM Moscow time with repeats through the week.
Doctor Who schedule information is in This Week In Doctor Who
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho .
The New Zealand Doctor Who Fan Club http://nzdwfc.tetrap.com
currently has a discussion on their main forum regarding rumors that
TV2 is finally premiering Torchwood Series 1 on Wednesday 9 July.
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.
