So, the fine folks at BBC America sent out an email to those of us dedicated fans who are on their "Cult" mailing list... Could they tell us any more about the show? Of course not... Could they tell us anything at all? Could they even update the website that says Torchwood premieres on September 8th... Arrrgh!
Let's face it, us Americans just aren't getting any love here, between the BBC blocking access to the website and BBC America's tight-lippedness... It almost makes me wonder if we Torchwood fans in the States need to start a mutual-support group...
But enough of my soapbox... for those of you who don't read the blog regularly, here's the "official announcement" as quoted from BBC America:
Torchwood Returns!
And it's bigger, sexier, and deadlier than ever before! Saturday, January 26th at 9pm et/pt.

As an American fan of the BBC, I would be happy to pay the television license fee to subscribe to their content.
This seems too simple and is probably thwarted by "international copyright laws" or some such thing, but I would like to see such sponsorship move in this direction.
Try being a Canadian TW fan. We just finished up series one this past Sunday! With no date for series two, we're hanging in the lurch until, probably, October 2008, at the earliest! And the CBC co-produces Torchwood! They won't even answer polite queries from fans, not even a form 'thanks for contacting us' email.
The CBC are idiots.
Odd as there now seems to be a BBCA press release doing the rounds, at futoncritic among other places: http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=20080109bbca01
Also a new clip here: http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/torchwood/290257
I think it's probably up on YT as well by now.
You know, it's funny, even in that Futon Critic article they don't tell you the names of the eppisodes...
You think you have it bad? The station that aired it in Australia canceled Series 1 and relegated it to a midnight timeslot. They also bought the rights for Season 2 without waiting 'till the first series aired and there hasn't been a word of Torchwood yet.
