Torchwood This Week

Quiet week for Torchwood scheduling. There, that line usually results
in interesting stuff happening in the next day or two.

USA - BBC America is planning to premiere Torchwood: Children Of
Earth (Series 3) on the same 5 days that the episodes air on BBC One
in the UK. However, the episodes may premiere in the UK and US as
late as June or July.

Australia - it looks like UKTV Australia will premiere Series 2 on Tuesday 3 February, using the timeslots where they currently repeat Series 1. If you were not able to see Series 2 in 2008 because you could not get Ten's HD station, hopefully it will be a bit easier to get UKTV.

Canada - HD Net Canada http://www.hd.net will begin airing Series 2 episodes uncut on Monday 26 January at 8PM EST/5PM PST/9:30PM Newfoundland. This is the first HD airing for the episodes in Canada. The episodes should look just like they did when HD Net in the USA aired them last year.

Doctor Who schedule information is in This Week In Doctor Who

1 February pre-empted by movie. Is this just Super Bowl counter- programming or is Torchwood taking a break from the schedule. The answer is almost surely in the Space forums, which I cannot get to because the robotic system for approving new members is glitching. Strong suggestion to website makers - always make certain there is *some* way to e-mail a person in case your automated system has bugs.
