- Summary
- "Doctor Who and spinoffs Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures offer American audiences very different insights into the Whoniverse. Whereas Torchwood became a U.S.-U.K. co-production, The Sarah Jane Adventures was largely mismarketed. The past decade has been an exciting time in the Whoniverse, the Doctor--and the franchise--are poised for yet another regeneration"--Provided by publisher.
