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. On the other hand ...

Australia - ABC http://www.abc.net.au/tv has purchased Series 1 and 2 of
Torchwood, bringing Torchwood back to over the air TV. The episodes will
begin sometime this year, probably on ABC2. With Doctor Who's history on
ABC, Torchwood should thrive better than on TEN.

Doctor Who schedule information is in This Week In Doctor Who

FRANCE:

NRJ 12 http://www.nrj12.fr
Series 1 and 2 repeats, episodes dubbed in French, expect slight cuts on bloodshed
Saturday 7:40PM CET 2-06 Reset (off the schedule after this point)

Sci-Fi France http://www.scifitv.fr
Torchwood Series 1 is airing, but I cannot get the current schedule as of
this writing. If anyone here knows the webmaster, the schedule information
on the site will be slightly more useful if more than 1 day is displayed.
Especially if that day has already passed. Otherwise, the site is lovely,
but if you do not know when the show is on, it gets a tad ... pointless.

CANADA:

HD Net Canada http://www.hd.net
Complete, uncut episodes in High Definition (not the same schedule as HD Net US).
Monday 8 and 11:10PM EST/5 and 8:10PM PST 2-02 Sleeper
9 February 8 and 11PM EST/5 and 8PM PST 2-03 To the Last Man

SPACE http://www.spacecast.com
16:9 letterbox. Episodes only air once. Series 2 repeat run completed. 65 minute time slot.

Looks like Torchwood is off the schedule for now. Here is hoping they can get Series 3 when it becomes available and that CBC releases Series 1 so SPACE can have the full run.

Ztele http://www.ztele.com/index.jsp
HD on Ztele HD, Dubbed in French.
Winter 2009 (midseason)
