TORCHWOOD THIS WEEK September 20, 2008 - Vol 2, No 37 The weekly guide to Torchwood transmissions. by Benjamin F. Elliott http://groups.yahoo.com/group/torchwood http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho |

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. The conflict ends on 24 October when the series 2 finale airs. |
UK - BBC HD http://www.bbc.co.uk/hd begins an encore of the Pre- Watershed Versions of Series 2 this Saturday at 7:35PM BST. These episodes have some sex, language, and violence removed, as they were intended for BBC Two pre-watershed viewing. |
