“Everything Changes”, the first episode of BBC television’s Doctor Who spin-off series Torchwood, aired in the autumn of 2006.
Aimed at an older audience than Doctor Who, the programme follows the adventures of a group of alien hunters in Cardiff – one of whom is a popular character from Doctor Who, Jack Harkness.
The programme won praise from the bisexual community for its positive, normal portrayal of bisexuality: most of the team are bisexual but most of the time this is just a part of who they are rather than a point of drama or tension.
Series three of the programme, the five-part Children of Earth story, explored the situation of a bisexual man coming out to his family.
