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

Torchwood - Lost Souls - will premiere on BBC Radio 4
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4 this Wednesday at 2:15PM BST (9:15AM EDT,
6:15AM PDT) as part of their daylong coverage of the Big Bang tests
at CERN. Lost Souls is a 45 minute Torchwood episode starring the
cast following the events of the Series 2 finale Exit Wounds. If
you have not seen Exit Wounds, there will be spoilers. Lost Souls
is tied into CERN's efforts to recreate the aftershocks following the
Big Bang. The episode will remain available for listeners around the
world at the Radio 4 website for one week and have a CD release on
Thursday 11 September. There are some reports that a free podcast may
be available, but I cannot guarantee this.

Canada - SPACE http://www.spacecast.com is airing Torchwood in 65 minute timeslots. So make sure your recording device is scheduled to record Torchwood for 1 hour, 5 minutes instead of 1 hour. If you are in the Central and Mountain Time Zones and also plan to watch Doctor Who Series 4 on the CBC this fall, check your cable/satellite provider's channel lineup to make sure you have other regions of CBC. In those 2 time zones the 65 minute Torchwood broadcast on SPACE will overlap Doctor Who on CBC (9PM all time zones), and neither show has a repeat slot. Satellite customers should be fine and it is believed that most digital cable subscribers have multiple CBCs too, but the time to check your lineup is now, as opposed to the 19th of September.

Canada - Ztele http://www.ztele.com will air Torchwood Series 2 in French many times a week this fall starting 14 October. Until then, Season 2 of Jericho will air in the same time slots. Ztele's version of Torchwood will be available in SD and HD versions.
