1. STARZ tonight (Friday), 10 & 11 p.m.

One day, nobody dies. All across the world, nobody dies. And then the next day, and the next, and the next, people keep aging -- they get hurt and sick -- but they never die. The result: a population boom, overnight.

With all the extra people, resources are finite. It’s said that in four month's time, the human race will cease to be viable. But this can’t be a natural event – someone’s got to be behind it. It’s a race against time as C.I.A. agent Rex Matheson investigates a global conspiracy. The answers lie within an old, secret British institute. As Rex keeps asking “What is Torchwood?", he’s drawn into a world of adventure, and a threat to change what it means to be human, forever.



“Torchwood,” stars John Barrowman (“Torchwood”, “Desperate Housewives”) as Captain Jack Harkness, Eve Myles (“Torchwood”, “Little Dorrit") as Gwen Cooper, Mekhi Phifer (“ER”, “Lie to Me”) as Rex Matheson and Bill Pullman (While You Were Sleeping, Independence Day) as Oswald Danes.

Sadly STARZ is not included in my Verizon cable package! And I strongly suspect that if I try to change that package, they'll lock me in for another 2 years! I got suckered into one which trumpeted $99 a month for cable, cell/landline & computer. That was plus "taxes and fees." Total monthly bill? $209!

Anyway, enjoy Torchwood - great ensemble cast & great writing.

2. Its obviously easier for me being in the UK

I'd normally pre-set to record something like that using the Sky Box + recorder but forgot it was on last night until too late - I was out. However - in the UK we've got BBC iPlayer too , for free , so watched it this morning on the computer.:)

Aside from the storyline the film quality is excellent.

4. Well, hot dayum! as they say in Georgia! Thanks for the heads up, dipsydoodle

Just talked to Verizon and got three free months of the Starz channels as a promotion, so can watch Torchwood after all!
Both the first and second episode will be on tonight, back-to-back.
