Creating drama throughout the UK
The high octane sci-fi thriller Torchwood follows a team of modern day investigators as they use futuristic technology to solve alien and human mysteries. The first two episodes were watched by 2.6 million viewers, the highest ever audience (so far) for a BBC Three programme. Created by award-winning writer Russell T Davies, with Chris Chibnall as co-producer and lead writer, Torchwood is both set and made in Cardiff.
Two of our most loved dramas, Life on Mars (made by independent production company, Kudos) and Doctor Who, also came out of our world-class production centre in Wales. This is part of our commitment to producing programming throughout the UK. Scotland brought us Sea of Souls, now in its third series, and Waterloo Road. And we make great drama in Northern Ireland too. New for this year were Lilies, Rough Diamond and The Amazing Mrs Pritchard. Murphy's Law, with James Nesbitt, in the title role, returned in 2007 for a fifth series.
