The BBCA runs will likely edit that stuff out. They chop the episodes down by 10 minutes for foreign distribution anyway at BBC Wales, and then BBCA make a further 2 minutes of cuts per episode, so they run 12 minutes short per ep of Torchwood.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

But Torchwood is going to be available On Demand and when they did that with Life on Mars they put the UK Ed up.
(Also this is all about season 2 -- so not what BBCA will be showing before 2009 in all likelihood.)

Ah, on demand it is! I can't believe James didn't realise what his Torchwood role would involve - he must have been shitting bricks when he saw the script!!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

No they don't - the international and broadcast versions are identical except that the international versions ship with split audio (& textless, if they're being sold in a non-English speaking market). All reversioning is done over here by the network that's going to air it. (Or in a few cases by BBC NY Production, which, like BBCA, is not technically a part of the BBC in spite of the name. It's a little complicated.)

And, I believe, that BBCA has said that they're not cutting for content - just for time.

Woops. Yes, I just checked, and my ass was typing there. It'll be between 2 to 4 minutes shorter on BBCA, apparently.

I'm feeling so amused by the conversation in SPN right now. I hope that those folks aren't spoiled -- I mean instigating a conversation based on spoilery knowledge in a thread supposedly w/o spoilers is not on, right?
I hope that they enjoy the plot point rather than get pissed off by it.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Right. Which is why, other than encouraging someone to run with a plot bunny, I am keeping my mouth shut over there rather than let something accidentally slip.
