TORCHWOOD THIS WEEK

The weekly guide to Torchwood transmissions.

Doctor Who schedule information is in This Week In Doctor Who
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho .
ASIA - BBC Entertainment Asia http://asia.bbcentertainment.com
premieres Torchwood on Monday 7 July at 7:05PM, with various repeats
through the week.
New Zealand - TV2 http://www.tvnz.co.nz finally premieres Torchwood
on Wednesday 9 July at 10:30PM. They don't have it on their website,
but various TV listings have uncovered it.
Australia - FOXTEL is launching a BBC HD channel as one of their new HD services this Sunday. Torchwood will be heavily featured, probably premiering in the next few days. Wouldn't it be lovely if they had some sort of schedule somewhere so that the people who had access to the channel had any clue what shows were airing when? Please - make this paragraph out of date. Rush some proper information out. Not just for BBC HD - there does not seem to be information for any of the new BBC HD channels. It's a week later, and I'm still waiting.
