Howling:Fox commissions 'new' Torchwood

We'll have to wait and see if this is the end of the Cardiff team or not. I hope we get both.

It will be interesting to see if this US version will still be a Torchwood dedicated to the British Empire. Or whether it moves to being a global interest - I know the blurb says "U.S. version will contain a global story line" but that doesn't [preclude it being from an 'Empire' perspective.

Does anyone pick up on the references to the Fox network in The Simpsons? If so, they make it seem like Fox is so bad. Maybe Torchwood will turn out as bad as they say... :P The evil dude. 18:19, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Eh, there goes the continuity out of the window. The moment I heard "reboot" on Doctor Who and Torchwood, I got annoyed. Instead of "rebooting£ stories, they should just continue the story in its respective continuity. *sigh* Delton Menace 20:46, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Fox have no input on Dr Who. I think the use of 'reboot' in this instance is merely that BBC Worldwide will push Dr Who more in the US with Season 5. The US version of Torchwood wilol be made by BBC, not Fox - though as it will be made for Fox there is likely going to be some input from them. This is why I hope that Torchwood (Cardiff) continues.
