Ok now I’m wondering which version will they be airing in Canada (on Space).
Sometimes we get the american version for shows, sometimes we get the europe/uk version.
With a previous posters example Highlander, I saw one version on one channel and another version on another channel, both Canadian channels.

i really dont understand this its torchwood wherever its shown just show the scenes that are filmed whats the point of editing it??? anyway im still gonna watch it im a british torchwood fan at heart :))

@Vanessa
There are plenty of sites that have video hosting that aren’t the Beeb, Hulu, or other country specific ones :)

Personally, I’m probably not going to bother with either. Torchwood ought to have finished with Children of Earth in my opinion. Especially as it had to be picked up by an American company to be given the green light again? We do TV differently than the US, and shows that might be very popular there might not be so popular here (ie House M.D, Ghost Whisperer, etc which aren’t run on many channels..) Torchwood Miracle Day may be a trainwreck in British standards, compared to original series 1 and 2…

@Rose
But the fact that it’s being written by American screenwriters who are known in Britain as well as two British screenwriters who’ve already worked on Torchwood is what’ll prevent it from being a disaster. There’s way too much negativity surrounding Miracle Day considering most people haven’t even seen the first episode yet. Have a little faith ;)

Vanessa, as RTD stated, the BBC has been doing co-productions with the US for over 20 years (including fan favorite Sherlock by Steven Moffat.) In those instances it was the PBS flagship station WGBH in Boston.

So really, Torchwood being co-produced by an American company is nothing new.

@lizzy

And there’s American TV companies hat have been treating the UK viewing population like dirt for years too- such as Earth Final Conflict, which was not released on DVD for this region nor in PAL except for season 1. Especially when a UK company is part involved in making it they could treat us a bit more fairly and Torchwood was orginally a British program and yet we will have to wait possibly for ages after its come out in America to see it- they haven’t even come up with a date for us. Also if not enough people watch something it gets dropped- if it is watched in the US but not much in the UK, even if lots did watch the US version online, are the BBC really going to stay part of it and will UK TV companies really be willing to show future series here in the UK?

Ummm, well I think that a UK date for Torchwood has been announced hasn’t it? 6 days after the US I though. Could be wrong of course…
