Well, in terms of spin-offs, we have the following:
 * The Doctor - A series in which Donna Noble slowly begins to remember the time she spent with the Doctor.
 * Paternoster Row - A series focusing on the Paternoster Gang.
 * Rose Tyler: Earth Defence - A series focusing on Rose Tyler and her new life as a member of the Torchwood Institute in Pete's World.

The Doctor is the most ambitious of the three spin-off ideas; it takes place analogous to the Doctor's adventures and features Jack Harkness and River Song, effectively combining the Russel T Davies and Steven Moffat eras of Doctor Who. In Series 1 of this spin-off, the reawakened DoctorDonna faces off against an incarnation of the Master that came before Missy. Series 2 sees the protagonists face off against a new threat as Donna seeks to reunite with the Doctor.

I imagine Paternoster Row as being a Doctor Who-ified version of SHERLOCK. Series 1 is basically the Paternoster Gang's origin story, while Series 2 sees them acting more as a cohesive group as Jenny, Vastra, and Strax investigate murders, alien and thief activity, etc. in Victorian London and beyond.

Rose Tyler: Earth Defence is intended to bring back the feel of the RTD era of Doctor Who; it is essentially a combination of Doctor Who and TORCHWOOD that focuses on characters like the Preachers and Metacrisis Tenth Doctor.
