Is Torchwood popular in the UK?

Question

Ive been watching a TV show called Torchwood on DirecTV. Its on one of their HD channels, so not a real broadcasting network. Its a sci-fi show, kind of X-files like, and while the plot is a obvious in some ways, I ended up enjoying it and watched quite a few episodes- at least a season or two's worth. Is Torchwood popular in the UK? Are there more seasons coming?

Thanks

Answer 3

from the viewing fiqures in the uk- yes-- it is a spin off of the long time Doctor Who sci fi series. Doctor who first ran from 1963- 1989 and then was brought back in 2005

- season one of the New  Dr who introduced the Character of Capt Jack --Episodes 9/10 and then Capt Jack is in eps 11-13

                                                                                                                                                                                                  

season 3 will start filming in august- but it will be only 5 episodes- all one story

Answer 4

I've never watched it myself but yes, it is relatively popular. It's a spin-off of Doctor Who and is advertised as the "adult version".

Answer 5

Apart from Silent Witness, its probably the worst series (not featuring Bruce Forsyth) that the BBC has ever made.  Here its advertised as sci-fi for adults - that shows the bbc thinks we are all kids!
