not enough people are torchwood fans in 2023. like, if this shit was airing now instead of like sixteen years ago then tumblr gays would be eating this shit up. if the big finish stuff was more easily available, people would probably also be eating it up. janto and jyler would be a ship war (a heavily to one side ship war, but a ship war nonetheless). the colchester-price fans would be happily eating popcorn at the side. everyone would be an orr and tosh fan. gwen and yvonne would be tumblr sexywomen. there'd be people picking out everything burn gorman has ever been in. there would be essays about why ng should/shouldn't be hated. andy davidson would still be lurking in the background. myfanwy would have more canon appearances.

TORCHWOOD. Above the law, beyond the police. Here's Mr. Colchester and Tyler Steele from the continued series over at Big Finish! Who else is a fan? I can't get enough of these stories!

Brief descriptions of canon relationships with Jack:

Ianto: Gets asked on a date by Jack in the beginning of s2, they date until Ianto dies in Jack’s arms after confessing his love to Jack

Tyler: Had a sexual relationship with Jack that lasted for a while, fucked him in a morgue once

Rani Takes on the World : Beyond Bannerman Road (1)

After watching the minisode from 2020 called Farewell Sarah Jane, you can't help but think you want to see all these characters back. Lucky for me, when I saw it, this boxset had just come out, and I have to say I was impressed.

Every story is different and better than the last, the characters' evolution is perfectly managed considering the big gap between the TV show and the events from these three stories. It really has the ambition to be a true successor to the Sarah Jane Adventures by putting Rani as the front woman and working on very qualitative scripts.

I honestly cannot wait for the next one to come out and I sincerely hope it catches up on the high expectations this boxset helped build within me.

Here is a story by story review, beware some spoilers here and there, even though I made my best to make it spoiler free.

Here Today

I only have one word for this one: wow. First of all, the time loop is well executed and the urgence of the situation is very well conveyed by the twists, the characters and the music.

I can't not mention the jaw-dropping scene at the end of the first time loop. Absolutely chilling. You have to listen to it to understand how much of a shock it is.

You don't have a second to yourself when listening to this one, the story just takes you and you have to get along.

Destination: Wedding

I'm not gonna lie, it was kind of hard for me to get into this one at first but in the end I loved it so much more than the pilot! You can easily guess the solution to the mystery but never without a doubt.

Gita is just the perfect comic character, every single sentence of her is an instant punchline, and she's also got a lot of heart.

Rani seems to be kind of in a young adult life crisis, because once again she's comparing herself to her same aged peers, even more so in this one with the pressure of her mother onto her. These are themes that resonated with me a lot since I am approximately the same age as Rani is supposed to be in this and I actually am going through all of this.

Also, I wasn't sure I understood it correctly in the first story but now it's clear: Phoenix is a non-binary person! Yay! And they're dating Clyde, a major character!

In the end this one was pretty enjoyable even though it had a lot less action and tension than the one before, but the character work and the mysterious plot make it an absolute banger!

The Withching Tree

Wow, this one was definitely my favourite! So chilling! I started listening to it during a night road trip and it was really frightening!

The plot twist is really surprising and every new happening is a shock.

I really liked that this episode was kind of an episode of Rani's podcast, I hope they do that on the second series as well.

It was very well orchestrated to make the tension build up to the great reveal, which is so satisfying to listen to. Honestly a great piece of drama.

This is the first time I had heard about Tyler Steele because I didn't listen to any of the Torchwood stuff, so at first I was like "Who does he think he is? Why is he so ok with aliens?" but then I looked him up and it made a lot more sense.

I also loved that the Blue Box Files were being mentioned since I'm also currently listening to Doctor Who Redacted so it was a really nice touch from Big Finish to make Rani and Samira talk about them!

I finished Aliens Among us part 2 today and can we just take a moment for Hasan?

I loved him!

Just this poor dude who has to order Coffee he doesn't like just to get hit by a bike EVERYDAY and then has to shovel sand into packages. Just to end up... like that!!

I LOVED YOU! (So did Tyler but yk what I mean)
