The BBC has always said the goal was to get Doctor Who in HD at some point. The problem is that it will require a total set re-build to do it, and a huge budget increase, because the special effects will cost a lot more to create.
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.
