Adult Version of 'Doctor Who' To Hit Screens

An adult spin-off of Doctor Who which contains sex and bad language is set to shock fans of the classic family TV show. The BBC has commissioned risque new series Torchwood, an anagram of Doctor Who, which will air late at night. Torchwood is to be written by Doctor Who scriptwriter Russell T. Davies and will star that program's John Barrowman. It follows a team investigating crime and alien activities in contemporary Britain. Davies says, "Torchwood will be a dark, clever, wild, sexy, British crime/sci-fi paranoid thriller cop show with a sense of humor." BBC3 boss Stuart Murphy adds, "The people have affairs with one another. There will be sex and swearing, I assume. I'm quite relaxed about that."


I love LOVE love Dr. Who. I used to watch it every Saturday night, it was one some cheesy public access type channel in Canada. Dr. Who is like the poor man's James Bond (and they've probably had just as many actors playing him).

I doubt i'll ever be able to see it since it's on the BBC, but dang...seriously...Dr. Who rocks.
