I thought it was common knowlege that they shipped Doctor Who episodes, on film, under the title "Torchwood" to keep people from lifting them and copying them before broadcast, and so, when they decided to have a nifty conspiracy to make a spinoff show about, they used that name.
Of course, now I wonder if they're going to ship "Torchwood" episodes under the anagram "Doctor Who".
Of course, "Blake's Seven" anagrams to "Eve Slabs Ken", and "Red Dwarf" anagrams to "Draw Fred." And "Vicar of Dibley" anagrams to "I File A VCR Body."
