Any word on the Torchwood spin off?
One man's hobo booze is another man's fiiiine sippin' wine.

Oh, and by the way, I don't use drawbacks in my game, just complications.

The plan is that Doctor Who airs in Spring and Torchwood in Fall.
You must be proud, bold, pleasant, resolute,
And now and then stab, as occasion serves.

Out of curiosity, what is Torchwood supposed to be about?

see below:

Torchwood is a secret institute created by Queen Victoria to defend England from threats from other worlds. The series will apparently be set in modern Cardiff and will star Captain Jack Harkness and team dealing with alien threats. Very British weird X-Files stuff with a bisexual 51st century lead :-)

Let's just hope it ain't all about Captain Jack. I do want to see some nice-looking ladies.

(I'm narrow-minded, I'm sorry. Oh, wait, I'm not! :wink: )

Here's what I've been able to dig up:

Founder of H.E.R.O.I.C, Complimenter-in-Chief, Co-Arch Henchman to the Grin, Servant of the Hoff!

I've had a TORCHWOOD thought:

John Barrowman said it will not be revealed in the series how Jack Harkness has arrived in the early 21st century. We know Jack is missing two years of memories. what if those two years coincide with his time as part of Torchwood?

I tingle with anticipation. If it's half as good as Dr Who, I'll watch it happily. I hope K9 has a cameo, that's all. :D

Given that K9 is getting his own kids show and that TORCHWOOD is supposed to be darker than Doctor Who, i'm not expecting to see K9.

Based on the previews, TORCHWOOD makes an appearance in "Army of ghosts"
