Night of the Fendahl · Torchwood Main Range • Episode 25

Torchwood vs Monsters!

Marco makes films. You wouldn't like them. The lighting's shoddy, the sets are cheap and the sound's appalling. But there's an audience for them. Because they're films in which bad things happen to women.

Marco's latest venture is based on real events. Events which took place in Fetch Priory many years ago. It's an anthology piece, and Marco needs one final victim. But the last victim is not who anyone is expecting.

Death has returned to Fetch Priory. And Death is no-one's victim.

This is a story that is absolutely made by its final scene. The finale of the piece, where Gwen confronts Phil about his actions and hypocrisy, is excellent. The rest of the play treads that horribly fine line between stories about exploitation and stories that are genuinely feel exploitative. I'd say it definitely falls in the former category, but your mileage may vary.
