Doctor Who spin-off is "far from transmission" says Russell T Davies (www.radiotimes.com)

Does anyone (besides RTD) have any hype for this spinoff? The Sea Devils were so hokey and boring in that special.

I'm not particularly hopeful for another Doctor Who spinoff. Torchwood was magical, but second and third sci-fi shows under the same intellectual property are usually bad.

All that said, I think the Terileptils (or are we getting the sea devils, I havent been paying attention...either way, both are awesome) and I look forward to seeing more of the overly dramatic campy goodness.

Sarah Jane was good. But it was intentional as a childrens show and had a great lead.

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 2 points 5 days ago

Yeah. That's true. Doctor Who has batted way above average for sci-fi spin-off shows.

I would say it's way too early to have any "hype"...but I'm curious.
