Note - due to technical issues, This Week In Doctor Who and Torchwood
This Week are going out a day early, before the usual final editing
and corrections. Unavoidable issue. Normal service should resume next
week. But one thing - Canadians, check out the listing for SPACE!
Torchwood Series 2 is getting a repeat run in November that will
*not* conflict with Doctor Who!

Doctor Who schedule information is in This Week In Doctor Who
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thisweekindoctorwho .

Corrections and updates are welcome at torchwood-
owner@yahoogroups.com , TWIDW on AIM, and thebfe on Yahoo Messenger.
