As expected, staying on par with another excellent release in this range.
The formula - bizarre mystery escalates into something increasingly horrific - is used effectively with just enough innovation to make it stand on its own.

And what a great ending to the set. Probably the best ending of all the sets. Very bittersweet and I just hope we see more!

I finally got round to listening to this today (we're away at the moment, and most of the hotels we've been to haven't had business centres) and have to say that it was a wonderfully bittersweet way to end a boxset, and a trip away...

Torchwood Soho continues to be an enjoyable range. This one seems to use everyone more effectively than previous sets, especially Liz. It was really interesting to have a glimpse into Norton's upbringing. Also, it was satisfying to see Norton continue to face the consequences of his machinations.
I'm a bit confused by the ending. Mostly because Norton's timeline is confusing. I think he's either destined to die on flight 405 or survive until/time travel to the 45th century, so he probably survived this one. Unless those events took place earlier in his personal timeline (and flight 405 wasn't as lethal as it appeared). Regardless, this was a strong addition to a strong range.

The synopsis reminds me a great deal of that Quatermass serial from the 1970s. In fact, I’m not sure if this’ll mark the first time Doctor Who has tackled the idea of The Rapture or at least a variation on the idea. All the sets so far have actually been based on plots from Quatermass serials. As I've never had the opportunity to see them I had no idea until they actually mentioned it in the Interviews attached to 402 Chariot of Fire. Just finished it today. Another good Soho series. I first thought that the scenes with his father were a flashback and was quite surprised when they turned into the current time of the story.
