Andy’s old art teacher is in trouble. The disappearance of three of his former pupils has brought him some unwelcome attention. The authorities think that there’s a secret in Merl’s past.
Whatever Andy’s suspicions, he discovers that something much older and stranger is hiding in Merl’s past. Clues are scattered through his paintings, and all of them lead to a place called Cadoc Point.

If Torchwood has taught me anything it’s that Merl is going to be one of three things.
Either an alien, a former Torchwood/Government agent or a child killer. Really depends on how dark they want to go with it I suppose.

I am going to get this.
Reason, it is Andy and the story sounds interesting.

Really depends on how dark they want to go with it I suppose. Yep, and right now my money is on the third option. Andy does get the darkest stories. |

Poor Andy. He never seems to get a break, does he? In fact, it would subvert my expectations if Merl turned out to be completely innocent of any wrong doing whatsoever. |

Mark, can we get a thread title change, as the story is Cadoc Point, not Cradoc. Thanks!

A quiet little mystery solidly done fortunately its more straightforward than the film that helped inspire it.

That was a pretty good outing for Andy and an ambiguous foe.

I liked it.
Nice atmosphere and setting, it took it's time to settle in, all characters work well and are believable and I just do not understand how anyone could dislike Andy.
Also, keeping the monster a mystery was probably a bonus.

My CultBox review has gone up this morning - in short, loved this! A poignant Torchwood tale of love, loss and regret. Great to see Andy acting under his own steam too, as far more than the comic relief. |

I'm not entirely sure why, but I thought this story was one of the best entries in the range for a while. Like I say, I can't put my finger on why I enjoyed it so much, but enjoy it I certainly did! I like the ambiguity of "monster", I loved the character work, and I was just thoroughly absorbed throughout. I also quite liked how this story had a bit of an Omega Factor vibe to it. I'd love to see them do more stories like this with Andy, as sometimes I think they play into the comic relief side of the character too much. If they stick with this kind of story with him in the future though, I'll be there like a shot!  |

I just re-listened to this one and I think I missed some things the first time around. This was just beautiful. Oh, it was terrifying, but the stories being told of these 3 men in this are just wonderful. The performances are understated and just perfect. The direction they were given was great. These parts could have been done in a more aggressive, confrontational way, with Merl being defensive throughout. And I'm so glad that it wasn't. I switched my vote to a 5/5. It's a wonderful story.

I liked this story. Recommended for Andy & Torchwood fans, & fans interested in art & painting. I liked the part when Andy mentioned Gwen & the others. The TW Monthlies maintain their consistent run of good quality, solidly written stories. 👍🏻 You never know what you gonna get, but it’s usually awesome. ⭐️ |

Relistened to this on my stormy drive home this evening and had forgotten how good this was. Atmospheric with strong, defined characters and Andy is as wonderful as ever.
A great release!
