BBC America has confirmed that Torchwood will be added to its line up as part of theSupernatural Saturday strand. It will join Doctor Who, Hex, Life on Mars and Jekyll as part of the new programming.

The BBC Press Office have released details for the first episode of the upcoming third series, confirming that it will be broadcast during the week beginning 31st March. Although the day and time are yet to be confirmed, we believe the show will be broadcast on Saturday 31st March as announced previously.

The press release says, "David Tennant returns to his role as the Doctor and meets his brand-new companion in the highly anticipated third series of Russell T Davies's Doctor Who."

"For Martha Jones, a medical student in Central London, an ordinary day turns into a nightmare when her entire hospital is transported to the Moon. There, she has to battle the Judoon and outwit a blood-sucking Plasmavore – but can she trust a mysterious stranger called the Doctor?"

The special Doctor Who themed episode of the quiz show The Weakest Link has been scheduled for transmission on BBC One from 8.30pm on Friday 30th March.

As previously reported, the episode was recorded on the 21st November and the contestants who took part were David Tennant, Camille Coduri, Noel Clarke, John Barrowman, Nicholas Briggs, Tracy-Ann Oberman, Claire Rushbrook, Andrew Hayden-Smith and K9. So far the winner has remained a closely guarded secret!

BBC Four has scheduled a repeat of episode 1 of The Web of Fear on Sunday, 18th March.

It will be shown from 8.35pm, as part of an evening of programmes themed around the London Underground. Episode 1 is the only surviving episode in the BBC archives from the six-part Patrick Troughton story, that was originally broadcast in 1968.

The Doctor Who Information Network has been notified by Canadian broadcasterCBC that the 3rd Series of Doctor Who will air beginning in June 2007 and the 1st Series of Torchwood will air in Fall 2007. This will be a shorter wait for Series 3 than Canadians had for Series 2, where it aired from August to November (in French) and October to February (in English).

According to Dreamwatch SciFi, the BBC have confirmed that season three of Doctor Who will commence on 31st March.

In addition, we can reveal that the series had originally been planned to launch on 24th March, indeed this is stated in the new issue of Doctor Who Magazine, but the schedule was changed earlier this week when it was decided that BBC One would be screening England's European Championship match against Israel on that Saturday.

The start time is likely to be the traditional 7pm slot.
