Is it too much to hope that one of the ghosts in the footage might be Samara or Sadako and hop out of the screen to get Hewitt when she's watching dailies?

There is a BBC newsrelease that features Torchwood. People over at the TWOP Torchwood thread are commenting negatively on the fact that it's going to be on BBC3. So, is BBC3 like being on the UPN or something?

You need to have digital tv to get it, though it is free.

I think I'd compare BBC3 more to a premium cable network in the US. It commissions interesting, quality comedy and drama (e.g. Little Britain, Life on Mars, now Torchwood). It is, however, only available as a digital channel and you need cable or satellite to see it. I assume those who are complaining want access to a larger audience - if it's successful it will get a repeat slot on BBC1 (like Life on Mars) and will pick up more viewers that way.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If I'd known you'd be hanging out with him, Jess, I'd have sent a happy birthday hug or something for him--Saturday was his birthday, and he spent it working.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Eureka is being shown on USA, too, apparently.

Our wings are not tired.
Finally had a chance to watch Eureka tonight with the boys. Then I had to immediately check to see when I could have more more more. Good timing I'd say. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. That was good fun.

Katya, Life on Mars was a BBC1 programme and wasn't shown on BBC3 at all. Perhaps you are getting it confused with something else...? The one BBC3 show I can think of which got excellent reviews and a very rapid repeat on BBC1 was Casanova.
BBC3 and BBC4 are supposed to cater for specialised audiences (young in the case of BBC3, intellectual for BBC4), and had a very hard time at the beginning carving out their own identities. Their teeny-tiny audience shares and frequent repeats were a bit of a joke for a while. However, they've both done very well in the past year or two and have been getting ever higher-profile original programming.
I predict that Torchwood will get the highest-ever ratings for BBC3 and that's part of the point. It's absolutely the perfect show for them, but ratings will still be lower than they would be for BBC1, because many people simply can't get the digital channels.

So, BBC3 is much like Scifi in some parts of the US. (Digital cable only.)
I really enjoyed Life on Mars. (Are we talking about it here? Or in Natter?)
