Torchwood: Dead Man’s Switch
Hey Guys,
welcome to Big Finish Torchwood‘s 33 adventure Dead Man’s Switch. It is an adventure that brings as Bilis Manger back. Bilis Manger is always a fun character because you never know what to make out of him. I am never sure were to put his adventures in the timeline. Since he can time travel.. it is hard for me to put him in the timeline. But this is taking place at the time his at war with the Committee.
The three passengers
In this story we are following Bilis Manger and three other that meet on a train. The train itself is a mystery. All three want to travel somewhere else and nobody can remember to board the train. To get to the ground of the situation all three are telling what the last thing is they remember. So we have three different stories. Actually I really don’t say much about the three short stories because it would take away from the story. But all three are built like horror stories.
The unsympathetic characters
From these three people only one is sympathetic and Bilis Manger is a story for himself. But even with disliking all characters I like the story. Because you never know what he will do or is he good or bad or is he really neutral. What does he want. Why is he fighting the Committee? These whole character is for me a question mark. But that is what makes it so interesting. He is not like my questionable favourite character like Norton which you just have to love. I am actually very neutral on Bilis but I still like to put the different pieces of his character into whole picture.
