When we heard that Russell T. Davies was working on a U.S. interlingual rendition of Doctor Who spinoff Torchwood for Fox , we were as dubious as everyone else that Humphrey Davy ’ brand of queer subversiveness would fly here . And we were right .
According to a program line from BBC Worldwide :
BBC Worldwide Productions and the FOX Broadcasting Company have mutually agreed not to progress together with a 13 - sequence serialise ‘ Torchwood ’ format . We are currently in word with several interested networks .
The BBC ’s Jane Tranter insisted to the Hollywood Reporter that the U.S. Torchwood still is n’t dead , and the show , which would reportedly still star John Barrowman as foreign - fighter Captain Jack Harkness , is still making progress .
But you do n’t need to care about the BBC trying to make a U.S. version of parent show Doctor Who . Says Tranter : “ It may well be confusing to have a British Doctor and an American Doctor at the same clock time . There is only one Doctor , so I do n’t see that fall out . ” [ THR ]
