They murdered all the villagers... they're cannibalising the bodies. — TORCHWOOD | 1x06 COUNTRYCIDE

[witchofthemidlands]

my mum recognised the actor who plays the barmaid in “73 yards” from something so i looked it up & it's the same actor who played one of the main cannibals in countrycide & seeing as one of my first thoughts about ruby heading down into that town & towards the pub was a visceral reaction that bombarded me with flashbacks of jack, owen & gwen barricading themselves in a desolate pub in the swansea countryside to fend off the cannibals i have been laughing about this for the last 10 minutes.

This week in obscure Doctor Who expanded universe references the internet has found:

First, the pub has a beer called Llanfer Ceiriog Pale Ale. While there's some similarly named locations IRL, with the Ceiriog Valley being a valley in North-East Wales, there is no place actually called this. Instead it's seemingly a direct reference to a fictional Welsh village visited by Seven and Ace in Cat's Cradle: Witch's Mark, connected by a stone circle to a planet of fantasy creatures. Quite ironic, given how mocking the landlady and patrons are about people thinking Welsh villages are backwards and full of witchcraft.

Secondly, while this might be a coincidence, Kate's suggestion of a Sontaran's arrival inspiring belief in God could be referencing DWM 59's comic: "The Gods Walk Among Us", where ancient Egyptians indeed mistake a Sontaran named Styx for a god.

Bonus, because it's not actually a reference, but just a reused filming location:

The pub Ruby stays in is the same one in Countrycide. At least in this case, however, it's just a filming location coincidence. The external shots are completely different, they're in different villages, and the pubs have different names.

And here it is, the fully finished lineup all together. I loved this shot from Countrycide - I love how they’re all standing, I love the colours of their outfits, I just love it. And this is definitely my favourite episode so I really wanted to doodle something from it!

[queerconfusionthings]

torchwood fans stay winning in delusion when pub in new doctor who episode is called 'dead wood' and has the same interior as violent cannibal episode countrycide

[timey-acey222]

every day i wake up, remember that ianto attempted suicide after the events of countrycide, and go back to sleep

[benevolenterrancy]

If we're being honest, a proper Ianto Paper Doll Book should just include page after page of slight suit variations...

So I'm watching Supernatural for the first time (yes I know I'm late to the party) and I'm on S1 Ep15

There's strange probably cannibal rural people who may or may not be about to eat Sam and Dean

There's so so many similarities between this episode and Torchwood S1 Ep6 'Countrycide' (yes I know Countrycide came after this) and it's driving me insane

ESPECIALLY THE FACT THAT BOTH THE WINCHESTERS AND TORCHWOOD NORMALLY DEAL WITH PARANORMAL/SUPERNATURAL/ALIEN THINGS SO THIS EPISODE REALLY HIGHLIGHTS THE TRUE HORRORS OF HUMAN NATURE AND THE UNEXPECTEDNESS THAT HUMANS CAN BE SO, SO MUCH WORSE THAN ALIENS OR DEMONS OR WHATEVER

[captainlynxx]

Already doing this on twitter but wth

30 day torchwood challenge - day 1

Favourite S1 episode:

Captain Jack Harkness or Countrycide. I probably prefer Captain Jack Harkness but Countrycide is also absolutely incredible.

[human-thing-person]

Just thinking of this thing i sent my friends after convincing them to watch torchwood

It's so silly goofy

I love ianto jones

I would literally die for him

[elliottexists]

the fact that countrycide started off as "haha fun team camping session" and then ended up being the most traumatising episode ever is so crazy of the writers fr
