Doctor Who is to be given a sexy spin-off series for adults after the 9pm watershed on the BBC. Creator Russell T Davies says Torchwood, an anagram of Doctor Who, would be "dark, wild and sexy".
BBC3 is to screen Torchwood next year to cash in on the anticipated success of the next series of Doctor Who, starring David Tennant. Davies is likely to deploy a similar sense of irreverence in the new series, which he said would unfold over 13 episodes "with humour". The star will be John Barrowman, who plays the bi-sexual Capt Jack Harkness.
