British television has what's called the "watershed" which is a 9pm start time. Before the watershed, programmes have to be "family friendly". After the watershed pretty much anything goes - nudity, sex, swearing, etc. Torchwood is most definitely an "after the watershed" programme. I imagine it would have to be pretty heavily censored for American TV.
