The Doctor From Gallifrey 

- Today on TARDIS Log: We discuss the episode 5 of Torchwood: Miracle Day "The Categories of Life", last night's episode if you are in the UK. Read it here.

- The BBC have responded to a small number of complaints about there being too much gay content in Torchwood. They said:

"We have strict Editorial Guidelines which govern the content of our programmes, and Torchwood is no exception.

These clearly state: "In all BBC output the portrayal of sex, or the exploration of sexual issues, should be editorially justified and treated with appropriate sensitivity. In post-watershed content, we must be able to justify the frank and realistic portrayal of sex and the exploration of themes and issues which some people might find offensive."

Captain Jack Harkness is an established character in the series. The audience over the previous series of Torchwood have known him to be promiscuous and bi-sexual so we felt the content was justified in terms of the context and characters and would be within the expectations of regular viewers. We aim to depict relationships whether heterosexual or homosexual in an honest and realistic way. These scenes are not meant to cause offence."

The BBC cut a scene from episode 3 showing Jack and a barman have sex so imagine the complaints if that had been shown!

- Doctor Who is yet to appear in the schedules for the 27th August in the UK. BBC America has confirmed it will air in the US on that date but it is notably absent from the BBC One highlight of week 35. However, it is worth noting that Torchwood did not orginally appear when the schedules were first published and appeared a few days later, so don't panic!
