For those who live in the US and want to see it uncut (BBC America cuts out a few minutes for time when they broadcast it), apparently the uncut version is on BBC America OnDemand.

I thought the Brits were uncut?
OK... bad joke (my subject title)!
I know. But I couldn't resist!
Thanks for the tip, though: I had no idea they were editing any of it! Do you know if it's just a few seconds here and there throughout the episode, or are there any scenes missing? OMG! I don't want to miss out on anything good!! :(
If its anything like Doctor Who
Still, I understand wanting to catch the whole thing.
I don't know what gets
I don't know what gets cut.
According to this, "...the best news is that the content of those shows -- especially that of Torchwood -- is not going to be edited by censors. There is one caveat in that when shown in the U.K. the programs run 50 minutes, but here will be 48 minutes, meaning two minutes will be cut. But Ancier assured us that any cuts made would be extraneous material and not Captain Jack's same-sex kisses or double-entendres."
In the end, it depends on how long the original episode was. When airing Doctor Who on Sci-Fi, sometimes nothing would get cut, sometimes a small bit would get cut, and sometimes an entire scene or two would get cut (apparently, BBC doesn't cut as much out of Who as Sci-Fi does, but they still will cut stuff out).
