Having been impressed by ‘Day One’, will the rest of Children of Earth cement the Impossible Podcast team’s new-found liking for Torchwood, or will their enjoyment be only a one night stand? We discuss moral dilemmas, missing pterodactyls, child sacrifices and league tables in our commentary on ‘Day Five’, the explosive finale of Children of Earth!
This edition’s commentators: James, Swithun and Caleb.

We turn our attention to Doctor Who’s “adult” spin-off Torchwood as it hits the mainstream! As the children of earth come to a halt, Captain Jack, Gwen Cooper and Ianto Jones find themselves being hunted down.
But they also face an even more formidable challenge: winning over the traditionally Torchwood-skeptical members of the Impossible Podcast! Will ‘Children of Earth’, the new, more respectable BBC1 incarnation of the show, succeed where alien sex gas and Cyberwoman have failed?

Now we at A Podcast Of Impossible Things have never really been fans of Who’s first fully fledged spin-off. In fact, we’d rather sit on rusty nails than watch that sex-gas episode again. Which should give you some idea of just how valiant and selfless we are when we tell you we might be willing to endure all that misery and disappointment again (yes, even “Cyberwoman”) for your sakes.
So here’s the point – do you want to see us start a series of Torchwood commentaries?
We put the question to the audience at last November’s Whoniversal Appeal conference, and the answer was a resounding “Yes!”. But what do you, our regular listeners, want to hear?
Let us know what you think. We’ve got a few ideas for mixing up the format of the commentaries a bit, so it could prove to be real fun, but it’ll only happen if you’re sufficiently vocal!
