Torchwood America Hits Buffers
Following the fiasco of the new Daleks it’s good to see some good sense breaking out in the Whoniverse: the proposed Torchwood America looks like it might not happen.
The BBC had been in talks with Fox about producing an Americanized version of the show, a truly horrific prospect. Fortunately Fox have now pulled out. According to the Beeb:
BBC Worldwide Productions and the FOX Broadcasting Company have mutually agreed not to progress together with a 13-episode serialized Torchwood format
That’s good news, but before we start celebrating there was a rider to the statement: “We are currently in discussion with several interested networks.” Jane Tranter of BBC Worldwide said that although Fox has declined to be involved the Beeb hasn’t given up on the idea yet: “It’s very much ongoing and very much alive”.
Don’t do it Jane. Fox pulling out gives you a great opportunity to take a dose of retcon and forget this car crash of an idea.
