Torchwood IS an adult BBC spin off of Doctor Who and goes out at 10-10.30 pm here.
The writer IS gay, one Russell T Davies, and despite his gay hobbyhorse, I like him as one of the best screenwriters in Britain, as he has done a great job of updating and popularising the new Doctor Who.And he is 6’6 and big, so I wont argue with him....lol
Despite the unnecessary gay subtexts, I like Torchwood and think it is a good sci-fi show.
...and the episode “gridlock” (even though there was a gay couple as minor characters) was more positive about faith and religion than any drama series I have seen in twelve months.
