This five-episode miniseries (running for five consecutive nights) spins off the popular British series "Torchwood," which in turn was a spinoff of sorts from the long-running wacky sf series "Doctor Who."
Despite its attenuated ancestry, "Children of the Earth" turns out to be much more riveting than its predecessors, particularly the uneven, somehow shopworn "Torchwood," with its lame special effects and haphazard characterization. The remaining members of the original "Torchwood" team -- an ex-policewoman, the office factotum and the handsome, bisexual and mysteriously immortal Capt.

The corporation said television and radio services had been affected from 1245 GMT Friday onwards by "heavy electronic jamming" which had become "progressively worse".
Satellite technicians had traced the interference to Iran, it said.
The satellites its uses in the Middle East to broadcast BBC Persian television to Iran were being affected, meaning that audiences in Iran, the Middle East and Europe would likely experience disruption.
BBC Arabic television and other language services had also experienced transmission problems, the corporation said.
"Any attempt to block BBC Persian television is wrong and against international treaties on satellite communication. Whoever is attempting the blocking should stop it now," said BBC World Service director Peter Horrocks.
"It seems to be part of a pattern of behaviour by the Iranian authorities to limit the reporting of the aftermath of the disputed election.
"In Tehran, (BBC world affairs editor) John Simpson and his cameraman were briefly arrested after they had filmed material for a piece," he added.
Iranian authorities on Sunday shut down the office of Arab news channel Al-Arabiya in Tehran for a week in the wake of the disputed election win by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the channel said.
BBC Persian, launched in 1940, is one of the corporation's oldest non-English language services.The BBC said Sunday that the satellites it uses to broadcast in Persian were being... more
