Stateside Torchwood airing times

Posted: 06 Jan 2008 03:08 PM CST

So, you live in the States, huh? We've got you covered too... Here's the staggered airing times for the first two episodes of Torchwood on BBC America. Worthy of note, the Beeb doesn't provide titles nor ratings for the Series Two episodes... So no word if they are carrying an editied version of the "adult" version or if they will carry their "safe harbor friendly" editions. But here is the list as the Beeb has it currently:

The Final Countdown

Posted: 06 Jan 2008 01:43 PM CST

In just over a week's time Torchwood's gonna be back on our television screens! To celebrate, I've updated our dot/TV Facebook group, and have added a selection of new photographs from episode one, "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang". They show Captain Jack squaring off against former lover, Captain John (played by James Marsters).

I've also created a new branch of the Discussion Board, where you can countdown the final days till the show's return. And then, next week, I'll add a post-episode discussion section all about "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" - a place for you to leave your thoughts, opinions and reactions about what you've just seen on screen. A new section will be added after the transmission of each new episode.

You can visit the full dot/TV group (and join it, too!) by clicking here.

In other (proper) news, it looks like the first issue of Titan's Official Torchwood Magazine will hit shelves on January 24th, although copies are bound to make themselves available way before then...
