Torchwood
Description
Torchwood is a British science fiction television programme created by Russell T Davies for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). Initially developed as a stand-alone show, it was reworked into a spin-off of the long-running television production Doctor Who. Originally targeted towards adult audiences, compared to the family-centric nature of its parent series, the first series of Torchwood was broadcast after-watershed. It premiered on BBC Three on 22 October 2006 and aired 13 episodes before concluding on 1 January 2007. A second series was commissioned thereafter with the programme moving to BBC Two.
