Because of the unique way the BBC is funded...

So, Julie Gardener has CONFIRMED that Torchwood S3 will be a 5-episode one week mini-series type event. Of course, this is all about money, pure and simple, and that's really a shame, because unlike Who, I don't think TW has enough casual fans (hardcore, yes, casual, no) in the UK to survive that kind of cutback. Unless S4 follows VERY SWIFTLY on the heels of this event, I doubt it'll get made.

God, I bet BBC America are SO FUCKING PISSED OFF right about now.

That sucks unbelievably.

I know that there's issues like getting all the actors *cough*finding a space in JB's schedule*cough* but surely they could have made the effort.
I mean, 2009 we're only going to be getting a few DW specials instead of a full season, and now only 5 eps of Torchwood? That's just stupid.
