A "sexy, funny" spin-off from the Doctor Who television series, is to be made by BBC Wales and set in Cardiff. The 13-part sci-fi drama will be called Torchwood - an anagram of Doctor Who. Russell T Davies will also write and co-produce the "paranoid thriller". Torchwood, which is aimed at adults, stars John Barrowman as Captain Jack - one of the main characters from the recent Doctor Who series. The drama features investigators solving human and alien crime. Mr Davies, from Swansea, said the series would be sexy, funny and very different to Doctor Who.
"Doctor Who has a completely different feel to this kind of thing. This is set in the same place every week. It's a different sort of fun to Doctor Who," he said.
"It's an urban series, very much set on earth. It's a Welsh series that I'm very, very proud of."
Russell T Davies is writer and one of the new series' executive producers
