O.o There is no thread for Torchwood on this site yet.

The new spin off to Doctor Who started last Sunday at 9pm on BBC Three, and is repeated on BBC2 every Wednesday.

Having watched episodes one and two,I have to say that it is a really cool show! I look forward to seeing the rest of the first season. The tone is much darker than Who and more adult. The writing is funny, action packed and John Barrowman (Captain Jack) has some great lines. The man has screen presence too.

Are there any Woodies out there?

Ooh! over here! Me! Me!
Ok, early days yet. Maybe too soon to start calling myself a fan. But I like it. A lot

*sigh* Captain Jack has a wonderful...coat, doesn't he?

Oh, sorry, were we admiring the writing?

Sure rub it in, you all get real t.v. and we here across the pond get shafted. I have no opinion of Torchwood because I haven't seen it and I likely won't get to unless SciFi picks it up...argh!!

Saw the first two episodes on Wednesday - bloody brilliant! I like that fact that it's darker in tone than Dr Who (not that I got anything against the good Doctor, of course). Looking to be a blinding series.

Woodies?????

From what we have seen so far it looks very promising. If the rest of the series is as good as the first two then the BBC will have another hit on their hands.
Judging by the credits, the BBC has made this in partnership with a Canadian network so it probably wont be to long before it crosses the Atlantic.

Ooh, really? Do you recall which one? I'm assuming it's the CBC, our government-funded national channel (similar to the BBC, I think?). I believe they were involved in some way with Doctor Who, of which they started showing the second season a few weeks ago. It would be nice if it was SPACE though (our version of SciFi channel), I think it would get better exposure. And there'd be no chance of it being pre-empted by hockey.

To be perfectly honest I am not too sure about this show yet.

There are some good things but it certainly aint no Firefly. I was the same with BSG when it first came around though so maybe it will grow on me.

Why have they taken the sky from ME
