A light romp featuring Jack at his most over-the-top. There are some nice moments that reflect on the state of the team post-Exit Wounds, but they're too slight for me. I don't think the topic of pregnancy was dealt with particularly sensitively but neither was it felt with poorly.

There were some nice moments of body horror and humour (Ianto driving off Penarth Pier!) at the end.

My favourite part of this story was the bonus scene, which had me howling with laughter!

what an odd little story. this felt like this was john barrowman f**king around in his usual way. at least his last big finish to date was well within character, of both actor and fictional.

i hated jonty.

This one shouldnt be the bottom spot for worst TW audio, idk which one would be but this one was actually funny for me and an unusual way to deal with the aftermath of Tosh and Owen s deaths, really liked all the varied sequences and the role of Ianto, overall the only reason i can come up with why i and many others left with a sour taste with this one is because the last JB audio to date was EXPECTANT and not something cooler like Absent Friends, its a shame really to see the interesting character of Jack get put on an indefinite hold getting constant mentions or references in the newer audios but with no return in sight
