ORIGINAL BROADCAST: 21/03/2008
Two years ago today, the Torchwood team began their twelfth and penultimate adventure of the second series, starring John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness and Eve Myles as Gwen Cooper. It was broadcast by BBC Three on 21st March 2008, and was repeated on BBC Two the following week as both the original version, and as an edited version, in order for a younger audience to be able to enjoy the Doctor Who spin-off series.
After the team gets signs of an unidentified life form, they go to investigate an abandoned building, apart from Gwen, who is running late. They discover that the building is a trap, and it is planted with several bombs, which explode. The explosion causes the team to be trapped in various places, unable to contact each other. As the team wait for Gwen and Rhys to arrive, their lives flash before their eyes, revealing how Jack, Ianto, Owen, and Toshiko got recruited to Torchwood.
In the Victorian era, Jack is picked up by Alice Guppy and Emily Holroyd, who have noticed his immortality and his numerous references in public to the Doctor. They identify themselves as being Torchwood members and offer Jack a job. Jack initially declines the offer, learning that they view the Doctor as a threat. Eventually he agrees to the assignment, and has to tackle the threat of a blowfish, similar to one that had appeared earlier in the series.
