Have your seen Survivors. Its not really sci -fi ...more end of the world, epidemic kills most of the population, epidemic caused by pharmeceutical company, type show. But reallly good. We watched the first two seasons. Hoping a third season comes along soon. BBC America on demand probably has it and netflix might have the DVDs.

I'm actually going to look into that once I finish my morning routine of forums.

That always confuses me for a moment...

"New series of Dr. Who / Torchwood !"
huh? wait, New series?? When'd the last series end?
Oh, wait..duh..
series = season

[Kinda curious about survivors, once I figure their sequence]

I love Dr Who and Torchwood!! I miss Torchwood a lot. Did they take it permanently off the air??? Are they making more of them in the UK? I DVR most Dr Who's I am rarely home when it is on so I have several saved for a rainy day at this point. Ahhh scfi. This femme definately has a geek side and proud of it!!!! lol Have to check out this Survivors you all are talking about. I watch so little tv, that if ppl don't tell me about a show I never hear about them. hehe.

Rumor is that there will be a series 4 but haven't heard of official start date.

We love Torchwood and Dr. Who. Martha Jones was a lame companion, though, and was my least favorite season. I adored Rose, and the season with Donna Noble was the best! "Blink" and "The Girl in the Fireplace" are permanently saved on my Tivo so that I can watch them from time to time.

Life's been hectic the past few months, so we haven't seen any of the new Doctor, but the episodes are all saved on Tivo. One day we'll have a marathon.

Blink
The Family of Blood
Utopia
The Sound of Drums
Last of the Time Lords
The End of Time

My faves...
I managed to trigger curiosity in my relatives after sitting to watch "Blink" for dinner one time..
Their review? "Ok, Spooky..I'll never see gargoyles or Weeping Angels the same again.."
Martha Jones seemed too...Like they tried too hard..{Didnt she pop up once when Rose was Doctor's companion?..Cybermen episode "Army of Ghosts", she was one of the clerks in Torchwood?}
