Created in 2006 as a spinoff of Doctor Who, the internationally
popular BBC television series Torchwood is a unique blend of
science fiction and fantasy, with much more of an adult flavor than
its progenitor. The series' "omnisexual" protagonist, maverick
51st-century time agent Captain Jack Harkness, leads a team of
operatives from the present-day Torchwood Institute, a secret
organization dedicated to battling supernatural and
extraterrestrial criminals. With its archetypal characters, adult
language, subversive humor and openly homosexual and bisexual
storylines, Torchwood provides a wealth of material for scholarly
analysis and debate.
Using Torchwood as its focal point, this timely collection of
essays by a range of experts and enthusiasts provides an
interpretive framework for understanding the continually developing
forms and genres of contemporary television drama.
