Coming this year, the 5 episode 3rd series of Torchwood. Premiering
across one week on BBC One. A week that has not been decided on yet.

Torchwood is about to premiere in India and South Africa on their
respective BBC Entertainment channels. 14 January in India. 18
January in South Africa.

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

Column 1 - TWIDW: This Week In Doctor Who - the classic column. No
more Sarah Jane listings. Listings for North and South America
(essentially the Western Hemisphere) removed. Listings for stations
with rights to Doctor Who that aren't airing the show right now -
removed.
Column 2 - TWIDW: Western Hemisphere Who Schedules - everything
Doctor Who from North and South America, inclduing almost all the PBS
listings. Listings for PBS stations that aren't airing the show right
now - removed.
Column 3 - TWIDW: The Sarah Jane Schedules (premiere) - The Sarah
Jane Adventures schedules all together and easy to read. Also - all
the podcasts. Also - the listings for Doctor Who stations not
currently airing the show that still have rights (all over the world,
including PBS). If the K9 series ever gets finished and reaches the
airwaves, it will be here. Essentially the catch-all column that can
morph into a proper Sarah Jane column as the show's influence spreads
around the globe.
Column 4 - TWIDW: Torchwood This Week - apart from adding the TWIDW
branding, this column stays the same.
