Ianto just kind of shimmied into Torchwood by means of coffee.

Owen and Tosh: I hope that this story goes some way in explaining their emotional trauma. Ianto: I really just wanted to write a romantic comedy... with a pterodactyl.

Somewhat new to the Torchwood series, so I enjoy finding the behind the scenes stuff. Thank you for posting:)

The Most emotional 😭 episode in my opinion.

It was great to see the members origins pre Torchwood in this episode.

Honestly this episode broke my heart on so many levels. The whole thing with Jack and Gray was terrible because you could see Jack's remorse and anguish at having lost his brother but at the same time Gray had nothing but hatred and resentment for Jack. Jack had been looking for his brother for centuries and this should have been their happy reunion but it was too late for them. For Gray. And don't even get me started on Owen and Tosh... the two most heartbreaking tv deaths ever. I mean we always knew it would happen but not so soon and not all at once. And the way it happened... god I still get shivers every time I think about it. Truly phenomenal!

Tosh and owen: deep stories, dramatic and emotional. Ianto: a romantic comedy with a pterodactyl

I'm not dissing Ionto's 'backstory', but it wasn't really him pre-Torchwood. It was him wanting to carry on working for Torchwood even though he knows how dangerous it was as he would have watched all his friends from Torchwood 1 die. We didn't see his life back when he was a normal guy. Its sort of the same for Tosh because although we saw her before she worked or Torchwood she was still involved in something that was extra terrestrial, cause its how she ended up in that prison thing. I know that it was only a 45 minute episode and that Big Finish have probably filled that plot hole with Zone 10 - that's what I have presumed from the trailer and reading about the plot - but would it of been that hard to make it a two parter? Like first episode Ionto and Tosh's story then at the end before the credits say something like: NEXT EPISODE THE PRE-TORCHWOOD OF JACK AND OWEN Then we would have more detail that I would have liked to have seen like the reason behind Jack getting into so many fights and why nearly every time he ended up dying - that's what was implied. And maybe how Owen and his Fiancé met, as that could of shown more depth onto how close they were. But yeah other than those points I loved this episode. And Wow. I intended this to be a short comment

So they can kill of our dose of janto but wont kill that ginger prick off. No affence to any ginger people

man..i was really hoping they would show some of the naked hide and seek ;)

It was so convenient that Jack was the only one to actually die.

....Didn't you just sum up rose and not gwen?

i've been hearing things like "Gwen is Jack's Rose" in these series. and i say that's bull. utter and complete bull.!! Gwen is whiny and bitchy and thinks she knows best. i don't like her.

Needs someone like Gwen Cooper---bullshit----she is a lying, conniving, selfish and just down right mean to her coworkers, bitch. Yeah everyone needs one of them.

tosh and owen should have been together.....seriously it's unfair that they would kill them off

It's Tonight by Hard Fi! The Shazam app on my phone kept messing about when i played the song! but eventually it found it! :D Enjoy!

This episode broke my heart!!!!!!!!!!!!! My friend and I were literally sobbing our eyes out.

I think Tosh could have survived - she shouldn't have been shot by Gray. Children of Earth could have worked even better with the four of them alive.

Is Captain Hart doing a British accent?

When Tosh said "because you're breaking my heart" I lost it. I cried like a baby for two hours straight. I've been rewatching Torchwood and thought I'd be over it as its now four years, almost five since it first aired but nope, I still bawled my eyes out and ate a block of chocolate. I ship Tosh/Owen so hard and I have way too many feels right now!

First of all Ms. Cooper won't have to suffer a thing she doesn't even care about Andy and second of all I want Andy Davison to be the doctors companion I think that Tom Price, Matt Smith, and Jenna Louise Coleman will work well together.

Shame on them.

PERFECT!!!

Even KZfaq comments aren't safe from petty Gwen-hate. Big surprise.

@Entroki A spin off of the spin off!

@Entroki With a new version of the lion king as theme xD

I miss Tosh, Owen and Ianto :'(

Such a bad decision. Its just not the same now

PC= police constable? lol sorry I'm not Welsh or English.. I'm American and love Torchwood to bits :)

whats that music 07:15?

I heard that song (the one at 10:15) (Tonight by Hard-FI) on the radio a few days ago. I just about burst into tears...

If I was 10 . . . that would've been awesome but now I'm 40. And it's STILL AWESOME!!! Lol I love John!!

@Nouillade Me too!

"It's like any real life situation. You lose people" sounds like he is gonna cry.. probably is. Watching this is almost as sad as the actual episode! Eve just makes you wanna hug her.. They're all such fantastic actors...

oh god, Burn... you're utterly fantastic... "King of the Weevils", indeed! and now I'm crying again....

when Joh admitted that Eve burst into tears i felt so sorry for her!!

All Hail King Owen of Weevils and King ianto of Torchwood lol

OMG at 0:52 i have the same desktop background as on that laptop :D

Long live Owen, King of the Weevils! WOOP WOOP :D

They were gunna KILL PC Andy!???? NOOOOOO. I am so glad they didn't but maybe if they had killed him instead of Ianto? Lol but i suppose it's Jack that has to suffer not Gwen. :(

It was Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (season 2, episode 1) when Jack was explaining to Gwen where he went with the Doctor.

Captain John is a brilliantly made character but I think in order for that character to come across as well as it does it takes a great actor (Enter) James Marsters...an actor I had never seen or heard of until the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang episode who I kept hoping would return sometime as he is a very amusing character. But more then anything losing Owen and Tosh is what is heartbreaking about this episode. These people are absolutely some of the most brilliant actors I have ever seen.

Definitely! That was classic!! The episode showed a more compassionate kind of side to Jack. Despite all his resistance against Gwen's investigating, it was cool to see that he was actually trying to help without telling anyone.

episode one serie 2 "Kiss kiss bang bang Jacks talk to Gwen, in the hub.

Thanks, I was watching the TW eps I recorded on Tivo and found it, I get it now.

Random question, what part of which episode does Jack explain that being brought back was like being hauled over broken glass?

I can't understand the scene being filmed in the begining of this vid, why is Jack screaming so much? John can't be that strong.

do ya see him at around 1:40 just lying back on the phone with a bottle sticking outta him

Does someone know the song that starts playing at 9:58 when Tosh is dying? I can't find it anywhere?
