Nevermind, Tybort. The source is barb.co.uk, which is hard to disagree with. I guess we go with the chart as given at List of Torchwood episodes. I've checked a few of the weeks of that season, including the ones you mentioned, and the WP:DW seems (predictably) sound. For instance, the week ending 30 March 2008 shows TW only on BBC 2, with a ratings figure of 2.976, and nothing on BBC 3. Though Barb don't give ep names, this is consistent with there being no new episode this week, as the WP:DW chart states.

Hmmm, interesting. That was a wrinkle I'd totally forgotten about, if I ever knew it. That double-broadcasting was quite a clever way for the BBC to sort of artifically cushion TW against an inevitable ratings decline. I don't think I'll ever quite look at series 2 quite the same way again. Thanks for catching this, Tybort.
