Is the Torchwood crew exactly the same as the Doctor Who crew?

They're both BBC Wales, so there's probably a lot of overlap. I'm not sure how much the writing staff overlaps, though. It's got to put a lot of strain on RTD himself, though.
Hi, Michele!
Is this the right forum for info about new shows currently in production? Looks like David Greenwalt is making an Angel clone set in New York.
It's fine here, Laga. You could also mention it in the Buffy/Angel thread, because it's not spoiling plot or guest appearances.
And HA! Greenwalt! The first thing I said about that show Moonlight was when I told Strega I liked that show when it was called Angel. And then of course Strega, being roughly equivalent to the Files & Records character reminded me the same thing could have been (and was) said about Angel in reference to Forever Night.
Hey, Tom!
The news that Greenwalt is involved is the first thing that has made me even vaguely interested in that vampire PI show, I must say.
I read over on TWOP that Frank Capra is going to do an episode of The Closer.
But I have no idea which one.
And I just read a casting rumor that Bradley Cooper is going to be on the new season of Nip/Tuck. Didn't hear whether it was a one-shot, recurring or what.
Hey, the guy who plays "Sam" the cute homeless guy on the Starter Wife is going to play "Bill" in the TV version of True Blood.
One of my friends works on Torchwood, and says the Who end rumour is crap. Who and Torchwood are very unusual in UK TV terms, in that they're sharing staff, they're long, long UK series and they're quite complex (CGI, location shoots etc). A usual UK series is about 6 episodes in total, with a budget about a tenth of an average US first season show, with little in the way of complexity (see also: budget). And they normally run for one or two series max. So you can understand why producers might be finding the work on Who & Torchwood drowning, especially considering the budget for an entire series of Who is roughly that of one episode of Firefly.
Ooh, I just read a Heroes casting rumor over at TWOP - whitefonting for the very, very timid because I have no idea how true this is: David Anders.
That's it.
