Torchwood Commentary – Children of Earth ‘Day One’

By , and

Posted on

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?

This edition’s commentators: James, Swithun and Caleb.

Find out as we discuss museum security, the dramatic potential of piles of sand, and the significance of chops. Hmmmm! Lovely chops!
