Review of Fragments by 15thDoctor

Fragments is another strong story from Chibnall. Unsurprisingly whenever Doctor Who spin offs dabble with time travel things start to sparkle a little bit more. Captain Jack’s backstory is a yawning chasm of potential, so it’s a relief to be able to fill in some gaps between Parting of the Ways and the start of Torchwood Series One. Big Finish have made good use of Victorian Torchwood, I wish more of this had made it to screen. Again, the inherent sadness of a being who can’t die and watches the world pass around them is not unique to Torchwood, but it makes for good drama.
