BBC have issued a press release about their forthcoming Autumn season. The first programme mentioned is Torchwood.
This autumn on BBC THREE sees a season of bold, contemporary programmes with Torchwood, the new drama from writer Russell T Davies, as its centrepiece.
Starring John Barrowman and Eve Myles, Torchwood is a sci-fi crime thriller which tells the story of a crack squad of secret agents, setting their own rules and operating above the law to protect the public from both human and alien threats.
Julian Bellamy, Controller, BBC THREE says: “Torchwood is just the kind of cutting edge, ambitious drama of real scale that we’re seeking on BBC THREE and I’m delighted to be unveiling it at my first BBC THREE launch as Controller.”
Interesting that it doesn’t mention the connection to Doctor Who at all.
