Where Are We Now?
The BBC is reporting that, just like last year, there will be a one week pause in the flow of Doctor Who to make way for the Eurovison Song Contest. So, this seemed to me like a good point to take stock and see where we all are in the Whoniverse.
The Sarah Jane Adventures:
(For series two rumors and very exact listings of the cuts in the US version of SJA, you may wish to keep an eye on Sarah Jane.tv.)
UK: Series 2 hasn’t begun yet, but there is a rumour that the Doctor will make an appearance in the show this series.
US: Series 1 is almost done. On 16 May, SciFi showed The first half of the last story “The Lost Boy.” The final episode of the series will be shown on 30 May 2008. Yes. You have to wait a whole extra week to find out what happens.
Doctor Who:
UK: The Unicorn and The Wasp (episode 7) will appear as per usual on 17 May 2008. The following week will see The Eurovison Song Contest on on 24 May. Then we can finally see the first half of Steven Moffat’s two-parter (Silence In The Library) on 31 May.
US: Guess what? The US has a gap week, too! On 16 May the Sci Fi Channel showed The Sontaran Stratagem (episode 4), but the second half of the two-parter (The Poison Sky) won’t appear until 30 May.
Torchwood:
US & UK: Series 2 is done, and we’ve heard no official word about when Series 3 might begin. There is, however, a special audio adventure coming up on Radio 4 (sometime in June or July last I heard.)
You are officially up to date.

Thank you for the Radio 4 heads up.
