Torchwood is a British science fiction drama television program created by Russell T. Davies and stars John Barrowman and Eve Myles. It deals with the machinations and activities of the Cardiff branch of the fictional Torchwood Institute, which deal mainly with incidents involving extraterrestrials. An initial 13-part series was commissioned by the BBC as a spinoff from the long-running science fiction program Doctor Who, with which it is closely interlinked.
