Yet another British import is making its way to the United States, but this time it's not only science-fiction, but it's also garnered interest from a major network.

Fox says it wants to produce an American version of the hit BBC series "Torchwood," the "Doctor Who" spinoff that garnered critical acclaim and mass appeal last year for its "Children of Earth" miniseries. The British series, which stars John Barrowman as Capt. Jack Harkness and Eve Myles as Gwen Cooper.

This follows Syfy's announcement at the end of last year that it would produce an American version of "Being Human," showing that British television is still heavily influencing what American audiences are watching.

Many times, remakes of foreign programs get lost in translation. However, Fox is trying to sidestep that by keeping the British series' producers of "Torchwood" intact. Yes, that means creator and showrunner Russell T. Davies as well as executive producer Julie Gardner and Jane Tranter will be aboard the American version.
