I was thrilled to be invited to join the great Ben and Baz Greenland for an episode of their podcast, The TARDIS Crew.
The guys are doing a retrospective deep dive on Russell T. Davies’ last tenure overseeing the Doctor Who franchise, and asked if I’d like to talk about any of his specific work on the show. I was delighted to get the chance to talk about Torchwood: Children of Earth, which stands out as not only the best that Torchwood has ever been, but belongs in the conversation as one of the best pieces of Doctor Who ever made. It’s a fun and freeform discussion, that we split into two parts for ease of listening.

One of the best things Davies has ever written.
I loved CoE the first time I watched it, in 2009. Unfortunately when I watched it as part of my New Series pilgrimage in 2022 I realized it had turned into a QAnon fever dream, two major plot points now aligning with the worst of American alt-right conspiracy theory. Wonder if RTD would structure the plot differently, if he knew then what he knows now.
