Canada - French station Ztele is starting their premiere of the
French language version of Torchwood Series 2 (in High Definition and Standard Definition). Many airings a week starting Monday. Series 2 has previously aired in English in standard definition (SPACE) and is currently premiering in High Definition (HD Net Canada).

Oh dear. Both HD Net Canada and Ztele are premiering Series 2 episodes at 8PM Eastern on Mondays. Just what Canadians need - you wait for months for a station airing Torchwood in HD and both the English and French language HD versions come around at once. Thankfully both stations repeat (Ztele repeats a lot), so you can blow off one or both of those stations in the Monday 8PM slot and still see both versions of Torchwood.
