brief notes on Torchwood: the Lost Files

Having listened to all 3 now, yes, I liked overall, although I thought the first one was a mess continuity-wise and could have done with some editing by someone who remembers series 1. (Note to writers: the Hub has its own generators. This was a significant plot point in more than one Series 1 episode.) Barrowman has finally discovered how to act for plays on the radiogram, which is a good thing considering the concentrated joy for Jack/Ianto fans which James Goss provided in his script for the third play. I was already pretty partial to Goss's writing for audio, but that seals it for me, even if I have some major nitpicks continuity-wise with this one as well. Goss is autobuy status, methinks. I just wish I hadn't manage to accidentally spoiler myself for the third one by looking up something else Torchwood-related.

I think the third one does work continuity-wise, it's just the set up to trick you into thinking it's set at a different point in the series than it actually is is done so well.

(Avoiding spoilers at the expense of clarity).

Yeah, I hadn't thought of that, but good point.
