Torchwood Rewatch: Combat (S1E11)
We step into the ring with guest Julie this week, returning at long last to our Torchwood progress to discuss Noel Clarke’s contribution to the first season. (Yes, THAT Noel Clarke.)
A long-running Doctor Who fandom podcast aimed at open and positive discussion.

They say you can’t go back again…assuming you want to at all. Gwen, Jack, and Owen each take charge of caretaking an unexpected time traveler, coming to three very different ends.
Gwen embroils herself in a ghost story where the spirit is the one haunted by the living, and the rest of the team effectively takes a week off.
Sporting a “risen mitten” and a “life knife”, the Torchwood team revives a traitor from their past to do…well, exactly what you’d expect a traitor to do: betray.
When writer Toby Whithouse gives us a story that finally centers around Tosh, we should know better than to expect a ‘very special episode’ where things turn out lovely.
When the Torchwood team heads to the country, the storytelling takes a notably dark and distressing turn. Oddly enough, we’re all really happy to see it happen.
The Torchwood team squares off against a dark and dangerous interpretation of the faerie folk. But does anything actually change as a result of the confrontation?
We test the limits of our “find the good in everything” zeitgeist as we press on through the fourth episode of Torchwood’s first season. It’s…a thing that aired.
The third episode of the first Torchwood season appears to be a bit of “viewer’s ret-con” for most of us, as we can’t really recall any details having seen the story in years past…though we know we did.
Chris Chibnall gives us a rather — interesting — sci-fi premise for the second outing of our Torchwood team. There’s a lot to enjoy, a lot to question, and even a bit of foreshadowing to seasons to come in this next episode installment.
