re: #302 The War TARDIS
Never saw Torchwood, and not sure what to make of it, from the reviews. Elizabeth Sladen died far too young, cutting the Sarah Jane Adventures far too short.
Torchwood was a more adult-themed spin off. Sex and death, basically. Some good acting from a couple of the supporting cast. I think it sits out there as sort of an outlier among the Dr. Who related universe of entertainment.
