Thirty Days of Doctor Who # 16--Favorite Spin Off

My favorite spin off is Torchwood. I got more enjoyment out of the second season of Torchwood than I did the third season of Doctor Who which ran before it.

An additional season will air sometime in 2011 on Starz. The series will still feature John Barrowman as Jack Harkness and eve Myles as Gwen Cooper, but the pair will travel to the United States to work with an American branch of the team.

Eve Myles is really hot, too:
