AFTER THE FOX

[6.05 - French Time] According to THR, American network Fox has decided not to pursue a US version of Torchwood.

Last January came the news that Russell T. Davies, former Doctor Who franchise boss, was cooking a stateside version of Who's spin-off with Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner - BBC execs now working in Los Angeles. And the fan response to this idea was far from enthusiastic.

BBC Worldwide said they are currently in discussion with several interested networks. Jane Tranter added that there would be no US version of Doctor Who: « It may well be confusing to have a British Doctor and an American Doctor at the same time ».

Series five of Doctor Who just set a deserved rating record on BBC America with its premiere (http://tvbythenumbers.com/2010/04/19/doctor-who-is-bbc-americas-best-rated-telecast-ever/49065).
