Torchwood 2.03 - To the Last Man

[Dune]

"To the Last Man"
Written by Helen Raynor, Directed by Andy Goddard

Toshiko falls for a handsome soldier trapped out of his time, who unwittingly holds the key to saving the world. With an old hospital haunted by ghosts from 1918, a crisis foreseen by Torchwood 90 years ago is about to reach its climax. Time zones are colliding, but, with life-and-death decisions to be made, will Torchwood be able to stop an explosive end for the city of Cardiff?

Every year TW revives a WW1 soldier from suspended animation, waiting for the day the world needs him for a purpose they don't yet know. He is revived for a day and let out of the Hub. He is called Tommy Brockless and Tosh looks foward to the defrosting day, and is happy to be his escort for the day. "Heart" sums up the episode apparently.
Helen Raynor wrote the episode in order to gets Tosh to "grow up" in terms of personal relationships since she's a bit naive.

(TW Magazine)

"It incorporates a hospital shifting in time, a soldier named Tommy and some never-before-seen Torchwood employees."

The action partially takes place at St Teilo's Military Hospital in 1918.

The Torchwood Institute once had people called Gerald and Harriet working for them.

Gwen is menaced by a one-legged man in a hospital. Very David Lynch.

Captain Jack has sealed orders from past Torchwood employees that can only be opened at a certain critical time.

A blank piece of paper is deployed by Captain Jack to explain how a Time shift works.

Two of the Torchwood team share an almighty - distinctly non-platonic - snog.

Toshiko wears a dress for an important day at the office - and we get to see her flat!

Besucher der offiziellen Website werden diese Story wiedererkennen, da wird dieses jährliche Auftauen nämlich in einem relativ langen Memo erwähnt (welches damals so einige Diskussionen erzeugte, ob das nicht Jack sei...)
