Falling ratings ? Well, if they axe Torchwood, I want Torchwood 1899 with my Victorian ladies. Then what happens to poor Capn Jack ?

Where did your quote come from?

The wikipedia page for torchwood.

The OP got it from Wikipedia

Then it must be true...

You mean this one?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torchwood

yeah, in the Overview section - look

The little numbers after pieces of information, when clicked, take you to the original source of that information. Notice that the bit about it being axed doesn't have a number after it, added to the fact this forum didn't already know about it, and I think we can safely say it's not true

It's *definately* not true.

Phazer

You do know that pages on wikipedia can be edited right? I suspect that is what has happened here.

In other words, Torchwood has NOT been axed, and the OP is quoting a bullsh*t article.

If production of Torchwood is dropped for any reason, I would not believe the news
until the BBC officially announce it as such. Until then, any "news" of Torchwood
being axed for whatever reason should taken with a very large pinch of salt.

According to BARB the ratings are:-

01) Episode 1: 4.22M (#1)
02) Episode 2: 3.78M (#1)
03) Episode 3: 3.51M (#1)
04) Episode 4: 3.28M (#2)
05) Episode 5. 3.79M (#1)
06) Episode 6: 3.22M (#5)
07) Episode 7: 3.31M (#6)
08) Episode 8: 3.08M (#3)
09) Episode 9: 2.76M (#3)


So I think it's a tad unlikely that they won't order a third series.

My favourite episode of American Dad is the one where Stan says:

"If only there was a place where you could make any ridiculous claim, without any evidence at all, and millions of people would accept it as fact!"

Then the next scene shows a Wikipedia homepage.

It's a shame they've dipped a little since then (last week's only got 2.4 million despite being the season finale opener).

is another one that I found quite funny lol.

Well they shouldnt have moved it to Friday. Some people go out then. Though not me

Although these ratings don't take into account BBC iPlayer, which a lot of people use, Torchwood is often in the top 5 downloads, it may not be millions but I would bet on a good few hundred thousand downloading it over the course of the week.

No, before the Friday move also.

Do those figures include BBC3 viewing (since that's had the premier for a few weeks) or HD viewing?

I don't know. But that's probably why they're lower. I wish the BBC would scrap with the advance showings and the HD channel version (unless it's shown at least a week after the ep). It just lowers the viewing figures for the BBC 2 showing and makes the show seem less credible.

Why oh why did they move it to Friday? I watched episode 10 on BBC2 last Wednesday and I must have turned over too quickly because I didn't realise episode 11 was gonna be on Friday so I missed it. Then I put it on Wednesday expecting episode 11 but it wasn't on at all, then I found out episode 12 was gonna be on Friday and I was dead confused.

Don't they realise there are a lot of stupid people like me out there?

I am one of those stupid too- missed all the timeslot changes because I watched adrift on bbciiplayer and they didnt put an advert for the time change for episode 11 etc.

Don't feel bad. However, I would like to inform you of a thing called the TV guide...

Nope, the ratings listed above do NOT include the BBC Three showing, which has been averaging about 750k (iirc). So the ratings aren't falling - in fact, they're up on year 1.

With ratings that have been amongst the highest of each week on BBC Two, I think you can probably safely say that Torchwood is SO not likely to be cancelled.

Panic over everyone. Yet again, Wikipedia is NOT your friend.
