TORCHWOOD THIS WEEK July 26, 2008 - Vol 2, No 29 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 . |
|
We are still awaiting a date for the premiere of the BBC Radio 4 episode of Torchwood. It is assumed the episode will air later this summer when the reactor that the story ties into is turned on. |
|
  |
Canada - SPACE http://www.spacecast.com will give Torchwood Series 2 a two hour premiere on Friday 8 August at 9PM EDT (6PM PDT, 10:30PM Newfoundland). The regular timeslot will be Fridays at 10PM EDT (7PM PDT, 11:30PM Newfoundland). There will probably be a repeat timeslot for the episodes, but it has not been disclosed yet. SPACE does not have the English language standard definition rights to Series 1 - they are still held by CBC TV. |
  |
USA - BBC America http://www.bbcamerica.com has purchased Series 3 (5 episodes long) of Torchwood to air in 2009 after the UK broadcast. This time the rights include HD broadcasts, so HD Net US is unable to purchase this series. It is not known if HD Net Canada would have similar trouble airing the show - BBC America's rights would not automatically cause trouble. |
Corrections and updates are welcome at torchwood- owner@yahoogroups.com , TWIDW on AIM, and thebfe on Yahoo Messenger. |
