Wow, it’s Eighties week in Torchwood! The fourth instalment of Miracle Day features appearances from ex-’80s movie “stars” C. Thomas Howell and Mare Winningham, whilst there’s another tip of the hat to The A-Team.
Three instalments in and the new series of Torchwood is already suffering from homesickness. Miracle Day has become more mundane than miraculous.
And so along comes the much-touted Jane Espenson (Buffy, Caprica, Game Of Thrones) and her first episode for Torchwood: Miracle Day. But will the incredibly experienced genre TV writer come up with the goods?
Continuing directly where the explosive first episode left off, we find Captain Jack, Gwen and Rhys (and the baby!) being extradited by CIA Agent Rex Matheson and his sultry colleague Peterfield.
