Torchwood - an anagram of Doctor Who - has been created by writer Russell T Davies and will be broadcast on Sunday. Set

in Cardiff, the series stars John Barrowman as Captain Jack - one of the characters from Doctor Who - and Eve Myles as Gwen Cooper. Torchwood follows the adventures of a team of investigators solving crime - both alien and human. Swansea-born Davies, the creator of Queer as Folk and Second Coming, said the series would be aimed at an adult audiences and broadcast after the watershed. "It's a nine o'clock show and it's got very exciting adventures and good strong stories - it's an adult sci-fi," he said. "It's about real people, real lives, the lead characters have got homes lives and mortgages to pay." He added there was there is a team of six investigators and "they all get the chance to shine" as the 13-part series progresses. Russell T Davies is the creator of Torchwood Captain Jack Harkness is the leader of the Torchwood team and Ms Myles' character Gwen Cooper by chance becomes involved with the team.
