Explore a thrilling new dimension of sci-fi
adventures in this spinoff of the legendary Doctor Who,
created by the sci-fi classic’s executive producer,
Russell T. Davies. From a secret underground base built
on a rift in the time/space continuum, somewhere near
the Cardiff branch of the Torchwood Institute, the Torchwood
team sets its own rules. They’re separate from the
government, working outside the police and beyond the
United Nations. Led by the enigmatic Captain Jack Harkness
(John Barrowman, Doctor Who, The Producers), they use
scavenged alien technology to solve crimes—both
alien and human. Because they’re working within
a new science, everyone at Torchwood is young. Or is it
because they die young? Co-stars Eve Myles (These Foolish
Things, Doctor Who). Extras include episode commentary,
deleted scenes, outtakes and featurettes.
