Torchwood in HD and Dr Who not?
Dumb call IMO.
Hopefully to be put right in the very near future.

MotoGP was fantastic (& what an awesome race between Rossi & Stoner) in high def on EurosportHD last wk/end from the USA.

Pity Eurosport have lost the contract to run it but I gather the Beeb is getting it.
It's an amazing spectacle in high def so hopefully they keep showing it in HD.

The big thing the Beeb could help drive is 'free to air' HD, which IMO the UK needs fast.]]>Jul 21st 2008 5:42PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/20/new-head-of-bbc-hd-aims-to-get-serious-about-high-def-programmin/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/20/new-head-of-bbc-hd-aims-to-get-serious-about-high-def-programmin/
Torchwood doesn't have as many special effects, and was designed from the start as an HD production.

For those who don't know, Doctor Who is only running four hour-long specials next year (2009) and returns for a full season in 2010. It's reasonable to assume that it will be in HD by then, if not for the specials.
