When we heard that Russell T. Davies was working on a U.S. version of Doctor Who spinoff Torchwood for Fox, we were as doubtful as everyone else that Davies brand of queer subversiveness would fly here. And we were right.<\/p>\n
According to a statement from BBC Worldwide:<\/p>\n
BBC Worldwide Productions and the FOX Broadcasting Company have mutually agreed not to progress together with a 13-episode serialized ‘Torchwood’ format. We are currently in discussion with several interested networks.<\/p>\n
The BBC’s Jane Tranter insisted to the Hollywood Reporter that the U.S. Torchwood still isn't dead, and the show, which would reportedly still star John Barrowman as alien-fighter Captain Jack Harkness, is still making progress.<\/p>\n
But you don’t need to worry about the BBC trying to create 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 time. There is only one Doctor, so I don’t see that happening.”<\/p>\n
