So, The Lives of Captain Jack Volume 02 ends the way it began, with a James Goss story. This is Driving Miss Wells, only slightly along the lines of Driving Miss Daisy in which Jack is chauffeur to newsreader Trinity Wells.

Captain Jack 2.2: What have I done? review
Following on from the upbeat Piece of Mind, we have the second story in The Lives of Captain Jack Volume 02, and the mood is decidedly different. Downbeat, if not grim. Welcome to the Guy Adams penned What have I done? What have I done? It’s another minimal synopsis on the product page: On the…
Torchwood: The Green Life review
Continuing the curious yet rather fascinating run of Torchwood meets Doctor Who monsters is the wonderful The Green Life. It’s got Captain Jack, it’s got giant maggots, it’s got Jo Jones (Grant as was). Do you need to know more? Well it’s rather splendid and another David Llewellyn triumph. More?

Torchwood: The Death of Captain Jack review
I wrote a review for Torchwood: The Death of Captain Jack for Starburst. I did enjoy this David Llewellyn story, though it was perhaps more entertainment than clever plotting. My review is: TORCHWOOD: THE DEATH OF CAPTAIN JACK. *** Message Ends ***
Torchwood: Aliens Among Us Part 3 review
With its third four-disc boxset, series 5 of Torchwood comes to a end, even if not every storyline gets a conclusion. If nothing else, there is plenty that could (should?) happen, and a follow-on series would be most welcome. Meanwhile, back in Cardiff, a surprise visitor has upset several apple-carts at Torchwood. Welcome back Yvonne Hartman!…

Torchwood: Aliens Among Us 1 review
So, we now have the first set of Torchwood stories set in what would have been (so we are informed) the fifth series of the TV show. Heavily informed by Children of Earth and ignoring (so far, and I hope permanently) Miracle Day, this is a Phoenix like rebirth in the city of Cardiff and more than just a set…
