Now, that was just bloody brilliant. Rhys is an amazing character, and getting a typical week in the day and the life of the world of Torchwood, but from his perspective, is gold enough alone to justify the release, but mixed up with all the other zaniness going on, the soft links to the events of Department X (what do they need all those fridges for, eh?), plus the knowledge from The Torchwood Archives that The Committee is lurking around in the background of all this (which suddenly makes Jack's reaction to the computer's tale of the inhabitants of its homeward suddenly disappearing have a bit of a different edge to it), and you're just layering more and more on top of all the brilliance. Combined with the fact that this is, as so many of Goss' works are, in the first person (from Rhys' perspective this time), and you're left with a 2.5 hour adventure narrated by Rhys, as he slowly ramps up the tension and excitement as Torchwood gets sucked into something you wouldn't find odd seeing in a Sapphire & Steel serial. Bloody good stuff. The highlight of the Audio Originals thus far.
