Torchwood: Children Of Earth - it happened!
UK Premiere - Already happened. Got really great ratings (around 6 million per
night - see http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.com for the numbers as they come in) - the British public liked it. The British public also spoiled some major
plotlines on twitter and subject lines of random youtube videos - beware if you surf the web. Episodes are on iPlayer for a few more days. Weekly repeats on BBC Three starting Friday. Weekly repeats on BBC HD starting 21 July.
Australia premiere - Already happened. Weekly repeats on UKTV Australia starting Tuesday.
USA Premiere - Monday 20 July 9PM EDT on BBC America
Canada Premiere - Monday 20 July 10PM EDT on SPACE
(new info) UK Military Premiere - Friday 24 July 9:35PM CET on BFBS 1 (weekly run, it appears)
BBC America in the USA and SPACE in Canada will air Children Of Earth on the same 5 days - Monday 20 July to Friday 24 July.
SPACE goes first cause this is easier:
First showing - 10PM Eastern all 5 days (75 minutes including commercials)
Second showing - 2:15AM Eastern all 5 days (75 minutes including commercials)
BBC America:
(times are approximate on BBC America)
Inside The Hub special - Monday 20 July at 8PM and 11PM and 1:30AM Eastern
(edited repeat Sunday 2 July at 1PM Eastern)
Full length versions of episodes - weeknights at 9PM and Midnight and 2:30AM
Eastern (75 minutes including commercials)
Inside Look - documentaries on each episode - weeknights at 10:15PM and 1:15AM
and 3:45AM Eastern (15 minutes)
Edited versions of episodes - weeknights at 8PM and 11PM and 1:30AM Eastern (60
minutes including commercials the next weekday)
