James Marsters will be saddling up with the "X-Files meets Peyton Place" fun BBC At Night series Torchwood. According to James Marsters Live, Marsters will be a guest star on the popular show in an episode to air early next year. Marsters of course is best-known as Buffy's nemesis-turned-beau Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, later a (temporary) ghost on Angel.
Marsters also spent some time on Smallville as villain Milton Fine / Brainiac.
For the fans on this side of the pond who haven't heard, Torchwood is a bizarre spinoff of Doctor Who, following the adventures of Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) and his merry band of MIBs. The show is much more adult than Doctor Who (a children's show --- really!) and hasn't yet made its way to the States. Considering the massive amounts of sex and violence, it probably won't.

1. bizarre spinoff? weird choice of words.
2. You're wrong - Torchwood is coming to the U.S. - on BBC America. A short Google would have told you that.

This reviewer is fan enough of James Marsters to get most of that right but not so sure about John Barrowman. 'Torchwood' having "massive" amounts of sex & violence?? really? Has she actually watched the show? Fans of James & Jack's are dancing in the streets over in UK, believe me!!

Honestly, I'm beginning to think I'm the only person who actually watched "Day One" or "Countrycide." Season two has toned down the "We're the adult show! We can say 'Fuck!'" aspect tremendously but anyone who claims season one wasn't drenched in blood and sex is clearly not watching the same show I did.
