'Torchwood' bought by US HD channel

American broadcaster HDNet has purchased the first two seasons of the BBC science-fiction drama Torchwood.

"We're thrilled to be airing Torchwood in HD," announced Mark Cuban, President and co-founder of the all-high definition channel. "This is certainly a Russell T. Davies signature show. Torchwood explores adult themes and doesn't shy away from anything. Whether it's the diverse storylines or the hero's ambivalence to sexual boundaries, this is not your typical show, and I love it."

The Doctor Who spin-off, which stars John Barrowman as Time Agent Captain Jack Harkness, will air on HDNet from Monday, September 17.
