Davies left as writer and producer a couple of years ago. Steve Moffat is the writer now and has been the executive producer since 2009.
“Considering the rampant and aggressive homosexuality of Russel T Davies and in the Torchwood spinoff”
This.
I tried to like Torchwood but couldn’t hack the “in your face” homosexuality. I turned it off years ago. The new gal is a cutie though. I caught the show entirely by accident channel surfing.
I mostly liked Torchwood, but you're right on target about how the foolishly gratuitous flaunting of homosexuality and perversion at every turn was a distracting non-sequitur that damaged the series
I have only seen a couple episodes of the newer Dr. Who series - I have it available to view on demand through Amazon Prime - is it worth starting at the beginning, or is there a better place to hop onboard? I had a nagging feeling while viewing Torchwood that I was missing something by not having started by watching all of Dr. Who first.
