I have high hopes for this! Torchwood in the 70s seems like it could be amazing. I know they visited that era with The Dollhouse, but that one did not grab me I am afraid.

Yep, fortunately this is '70s Torchwood in the UK! The preview in this week's podcast has really upped the bar for me, I have a feeling this is going to be something very special. |

To be honest, considering I’ve yet to see a positive review for The Dollhouse I doubt the American branch of Torchwood will ever be mentioned let alone revisited in the future. |

A very strong set up Ep 70s style conspiracy thriller combined with a compelling yet sensitive take on someone trying to do a job and get through a personal aftermath at the same time.

I ended up totally confounded by this release. I will have to see if part 2 makes me connect more with the characters and story. Love Louise Jameson, but I feel totally remote and removed from her character here. It might just be me though, as the other reviews are glowing.

I’ll wait for part 2 to be released before listening to the whole thing. I was already going to, but might as well. |

Another interesting review. Just a shame they began the review calling Louise Jameson's character Robert! |

This is a dark slice of John Le Carre-style skullduggery. A spittingly arch Barnaby Edwards as Simeon; Anthony Howell, whose voice could charm the wallpaper off the walls, is outraged and hardened as Cornwell. Omari Douglas is Neil Hart, attempting to make some sense of all this, and Louise Jameson is imperious and innebriated as Roberta Craven, and probably 'has an agenda'. These are just a handful of the wonderfully rich and expressive voice talents Barndaby Edwards has brought together for this release - one of the best audios under the Torchwood banner for quite some time. You can almost taste the radiophonics in Blair Mowat's terrific score.
This is a slight reboot for the Torchwood range, I'm thinking, possibly brought about by a change of creators behind the scenes. It dispenses with some of the silliness I felt was becoming a little too entrenched in recent stories, has more of a political leaning than usual, and brings some new characters to the fore. All these things are steps in the direction as far as I'm concerned. The Autons are slowly introduced into the mix, and the effect is very creepy.
The best TW release for ages. Can't wait for Part 2.

is it a reboot? James Goss remains the range’s producer, doesn’t he? anyway, as to your first paragraph, 100% agree. Not knowing how part two turns out, I would totally be onboard for a 70s era strand of Torchwood with Roberta Kraven. |

For some reason, I thought that Scott Handcock's departure from the range was more recent that it was - two years ago now.
Hopefully a 70's Torchwood set might not be out of the question. On the basis of this, I certainly hope it gets a revisit.

Another review...
(I think I need to move up my timetable of purchasing my next 12 month subscription based on these reviews)

My take is up on CultBox - in short, murderous corporate shenanigans, Autons, Louise Jameson brilliant, boorish and brimming with frustration - loved this! |

Loved this one. Thogh couldn't stop thinking it was Leela in 1970's Doctor WHo/Torchwood.
