Just to let our US viewers know that this season/series of Torchwood starts on Starz six days before it does in the UK.

Is there anyway TVRAGE can adjust this? Or are we stuck like we are with Flashpoint (Canada)?

That would be like Law & Order: UK airing in Canada before it aired in the UK.
Nothing can be done, UK airtimes are on the main page, US and other countries in the alternate airtimes.

The air dates/times for the US are the primary air dates/times since it's being produced by Starz here in the US. They did do some filming in Wales but primary filming, production and broadcast is now in the US for this show.

The BBC still own the rights to the show and also the distribution rights worldwide.

Since it's a co-production between Starz and BBC, airdates should be listed for both channels.

They are. The fact that it premiered in the U.S. is indicated, and it showed up on the RSS feeds last Friday for the American premiere

I've been using the ical download since the RSS feeds don't update in a timely manner. Any chance of getting the US airtime for Torchwood into the ical download?

That is just BS. TV Rage should show the first airdate as the primary. That is when the show is available to the world. Who, but the brits, care when the show airs in the UK?!

Perhaps TV Rage could list this as two different shows:

Torchwood: Miracle Day (BBC)
Torchwood: Miracle Day (Starz)

It's silly for us 'Mericans to see the BBC airdates 6 days later (which ends up looking like last weeks' episode a day early).

I imagine it would be just as silly for the Brits to see the US airdates 6 days early.

The American airdates are already added as alternate airdates. That way the show up on the US schedule on the correct day.

Ben,

I'm not seeing that at all. Is there somewhere else I should be looking?

http://www.tvrage.com/Torchwood/episode_list

I look at the Episodes List http://www.myepisodes.com/views.php and the All-In-One! http://www.myepisodes.com/myshows.php and only see the BBC showtimes/dates.

Where do I find these alternate airdates?

Thanks.
