Note - due to technical issues, This Week In Doctor Who and Torchwood This Week are going out a day early, before the usual final editing and corrections. Unavoidable issue. Normal service should resume next week. But one thing - Canadians, check out the listing for SPACE! Torchwood Series 2 is getting a repeat run in November that will *not* conflict with Doctor Who!
Doctor Who schedule information is in This Week In Doctor Who
