I wonder what this new child-friendly repeat will be like... I'd have thought it would cut out the bulk of a lot of the episodes. For example "Day One" of series 1, not much of that would be suitable for children - the synopsis is

Gwen's first day on the job sees Cardiff's nightlife at the mercy of an alien who consumes its victims during orgasm leaving behind dust. Torchwood tracks the alien to a sperm bank, but too late for the patrons within. Gwen and Jack trick it into leaving its host and captures it within a portable cell, where it peters out, itself turning to dust.

It means that the "adult content" will be even more forced than the first series, since all episodes will have been written with a child-friendly version in mind. The adult stuff will have been made easier to remove, and will therefore be even more gratuitous.

With the first series, I could honestly imagine a room full of people at 4.30pm on a Friday saying: "Right... here's a few Doctor Who-like scripts, lets go through them all and add some adult content! ...and nobody's going home until we've done it!!"
