Torchwood is a British science fiction television programme created by Russell T. Davies. The series is a spin-off from Davies' 2005 revival of the long-running science fiction programme Doctor Who. The show features stage veterans John Barrowman and Bill Pullman.

Torchwood follows the exploits of a small team of alien-hunters, who make up the Cardiff, Wales branch of the fictional Torchwood Institute, which deals mainly with incidents involving extraterrestrials. Its central character is Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman), an immortal ex-con man from the distant future who has lived on Earth since the 19th century; Jack originally appeared in the 2005 series of Doctor Who. Under Jack's leadership, the formerly morally ambivalent organisation operates under a much more humanist ethos.
