GAAAAH!! Wow, that was, quality-wise, so much better than that other radio thing, which, let's face it, was awful. I'm intrigued by the fact that so much actual canonical stuff is happening in a radio play, mostly the PC Andy thing, OMGYES!!! I'll bet they manage to retcon him in one of the next two, just so as not to confuse the televisual audience. I, for one, am totally FOR PC Andy knowing about aliens and the Rift, it's far, far more fun that way.

Anyway, nice to know Ianto's now taken over half of Owen's doctorly blood duties (is there actually anything Ianto can't do?), and is also the one actually Thinking Things Through, Coming Up With Solutions and, with Gwen, Calling Jack On His Shit. What does Jack DO, exactly? Apart, probably, from swashbucklingly rescuing people from fires with helicopters or something.

All in all, that was actually quite okay. Still not a great fan of the medium, but yeah, thumbs up. And Tom Price FTW, radiowise, he was FUCKING ace.

Glad you liked it, because I really enjoyed it but just read another review which thought it was totally rubbish... and I often think you're quite harsh, so if you liked it then that's good... not that it actually matters who did and didn't like it, but you know. Anyway, I really liked PC Andy's journey of compassion to panic and back to compassion again and liked the way he had to stop Jack and Gwen using stun guns on the poor girl. Jack's cluelessness didn't really bother me - he can't be expected to know all earth history up to the 51st century can he? And i think it's fairly I/C that he was so gung-ho with the "gun" and the motorbike - he's often not particularly careful. I liked Ianto's easy familiarity with Jack a lot. All in all - looking forward to today's!
