Sex in spaaaaaace
Captain Jack, the new sidekick for BBC television's
"Doctor Who" at the end of the last season, is getting
his own spin-off. This matters because Captain Jack is bisexual. Yay!
"Doctor Who writer Russell Davies is at work on the new show with a team of writers," it sez here. That's Davies of Brit
"Queer As Folk" fame.
Davies calls the new show "'dark, wild and sexy. 'Torchwood' is a British sci-fi paranoid thriller, a cop show with a sense of humour.' While the audience for the time-travelling outer space adventures of Doctor Who includes both children and adults, Davies said
'Torchwood' -- the title is an anagram of Doctor Who - would be aimed at adults."
