Torchwood, the Doctor Who spin-off, is premiering on Channel 10 tonight. I’m sure it will last five minutes in its prime-time slot of 9:30 PM. Channel 10 never gives anything a chance to find an audience, so it will be relegated to the Friday night death slot of 10:30 PM (this is changeable, especially when Big bloody Brother is on - see Veronica Mars and how it is not on Australian television!).
I see it. I see it all.
And with really freaking long commercial breaks!
Why couldn’t they stick Torchwood on the ABC along with the Doctor Who mother ship, or even on SBS, which would have been a perfect fit along with its existing cult programming such as Queer as Folk and Big Love, and, I believe, possibly, Red Dwarf? Oh yeah, and its selection of ‘art-house’ T&A exploitation?
Why does it have to be murdered by Channel bloody 10, with its damned aversion to intellectual programming?

Ugh. I hated that VM got pushed back and back and back, until it finally settled at that 10.30-only-if-we’re-not-airing-a-movie timeslot. Ugh.
I bet that will happen with Torchwood too. Channel 10 sucks balls.
