Wreckin’ Wednesday - Torchwood/Doctor Who
Jan. 17th, 2018 04:22 pmWho: Stars Yvonne Hartman from Doctor Who ‘Army of Ghosts’.
When: Set during the missing year of Nine and Rose’s traveling, soon after the Nestene Consciousness attack.
Where: London and Cardiff.
Why: It’s brilliant! And a teensy bit homoerotic :-)
Recc’d for: Other Yvonne Hartman fans and hard core Torchwood fans.
Why I liked it: It’s narrated by the actress who played Yvonne (sigh) on Doctor Who. We get lots of references to the Torchwood team pre-show, providing a cool link between the worlds of Who and TW. It’s a well written episode with interesting side characters, some moments of genuine horror as well as humor, and even some thoughtfulness from an unexpected source.
But mostly, I enjoyed it because we get inside Yvonne’s head, see her in action, and learn about her as a person. In other words - great fan fic inspiration!

What could have been done better: There’s not enough episodes in this audio drama series starring Yvonne :-/
