Review: Torchwood – Disco

Review by Cavan Gilbey


May sees the end of Big Finish’s ‘Ianthology’ with Disco, a story which allows for Gareth David-Lloyd delve into a side of the character we have not really had any information or development around; Ianto’s relationship with his estranged father ‘Disco’. There were some hints in the tv show about Ianto’s relationship with his dad but this episode and the latter two episodes of I Hate Mondays attempt to explore the effects of Disco’s death on Ianto.

Review: Torchwood – I Hate Mondays

Review by Cavan Gilbey


That title says a lot really. It hits home to that instinctual hatred we have for the work week, that knowledge that we have to wake up and head out to the office for another day of doldrum and mundanities. Even at Torchwood, Monday is a day worthy of dread. As a thematic premise for a set of stories, a series of bad days at work caused by mundane and ordinary reasons, it is a perfect set-up for this trilogy of Torchwood One tales.

Review: Torchwood – Odyssey

Review by Cavan Gilbey


The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit are amongst my favourite episodes of Doctor Who; they bring a much needed sense of cosmic and occult horror to the Tennant era and the show in general with a return of the classic base under siege formula. Those episodes are always ones I tend to rewatch when I want to dip back into Tennant’s stint on the show, which I’ve been doing quite a bit in the run up to The Star Beast. So when Big Finish announced a trilogy of stories featuring survivors from those episodes I was naturally intrigued, and this first story certainly made me far more excited to hear the next two chapters of this Ood trilogy. Here we are reunited with Ida Scott and we finally get to see what exactly the Beast meant when he teased about her relationship with her father, which isn’t exactly the best.
