Canadian Woodies

It should come to no shock to readers (after this article posted last April) that Torchwood has a home on the Canadian channel CBC - but until now, we've had no indication on when (or indeed if) the series should ever broadcast there. Well, now we do.

TORCHWOOD - CBC (FALL 2007)

According to various reports (including one at Outpost Gallifrey) CBC have just announced their plans for both Doctor Who season three, and Torchwood season one. Apparently, we can expect to see the Captain Jack fronted spin-off series in Fall 2007; bad news for any Woodie who's wanting to watch it right now I guess...

As Kurly himself posted last year "Jeez, some of these backwards countries we have in the world just need to get their priorities straight." We presume he's joking...

At the time I was talking about Doctor Who season 28 being pushed back because of hockey in Canada. So I'll say it again, no joke intended, talk about screwed up priorities.

Living near Seattle at the time, we could get CBC on cable there and they were airing WHO right along with the Beeb during season 27 but have lagged behind them and the Sci-Fi channel since.

Now that I have moved to LA we don't get CBC anyway, so while I have no more personal interest it is good to see our northern neighbors finally get the show they helped pay for.

I'll have you know that hockey isn't a bad priority, Look at the Stanly Cup, 16 teams and only flippin 3 are Canadian. I'm devoted to Doctor Who (manly cause the chemestry between Billie Piper and David Tennant was FANTASIC!!) but i'm itching for some new shows just as much as the next Canadian chic out there... Don't bash us unless ya know us... Canada ROXS (ha you guys had George Bush of flippin 8 years, who's got differece in priorites HUH??)
