After (in our opinion) a too long
delay, BBC America is ready to launch its HD simulcast July 20, getting things kicked off with a load of science fiction programming for the summer.
Torchwood: Children of Earth is scheduled as the first HD offering, with five consecutive nights of the new season to get things going before the season finale of
Primeval shows its stuff in high definition along with the U.S. premiere of
Being Human. That's all just a tease until the Sunday, July 26 U.S. premiere of
Dr. Who: Planet of the Dead. Of course, in this day and age more than a few may have turned to the internet to catch quality UK television long before the programmes air here, but until iPlayer HD comes across the pond everyone else can look forward to getting their BBC re-airs in the quality they were
intended - here's hoping for
Top Gear HD next.Full press release and details are after the break.
