Doctor Who: Torchwood spinoff 'punished' by BBC, says Barrowman
Torchwood star John Barrowman has accused the BBC of "punishing" the hit sci-fi show after it slashed the number of episodes in the new series as part of its move from BBC2 to BBC1.
The third run of the Doctor Who spinoff launches on BBC1 next week, but its run has been cut to five hour-long episodes – eight fewer than in each previous series, last year on BBC2 and before that on BBC3.
