Meanwhile, nearly a full year after it had aired in the UK, broadcast of the first series of ''Torchwood'' on the CBC occurred in the fall of 2007, after the third series of ''Doctor Who'', even though the season finale of ''Torchwood'' led into the third season finale of ''Doctor Who''. The CBC aired the more adult-oriented ''Torchwood'' generally intact, except for censoring certain words of dialogue (mainly the F-word) and making the expected cuts for commercial time. Since first-season ''Torchwood'' episodes ran 50 minutes without commercial interruption in the UK (as opposed to 45 minutes for ''Doctor Who''), more extensive editing for commercials was required than the parent program | Meanwhile, nearly a full year after it had aired in the UK, broadcast of the first series of ''Torchwood'' on the CBC occurred in the fall of 2007, after the third series of ''Doctor Who'', even though the season finale of ''Torchwood'' led into the third season finale of ''Doctor Who''.

It was rumoured that the CBC had also dropped its funding for [[series 4 (Doctor Who)|series 4]] of ''Doctor Who'', which was supported by the fact the CBC no longer received screen credit on series 4 episodes, but the CBC later reassured them it was still supporting the series. | In [[2008 (production)|2008]], it was announced that the CBC would no longer be funding ''Torchwood'' and would not air the second series (it was subsequently aired by a competing network, [[Space (TV channel)|Space]], about five months after its UK broadcast).
