Hey Guys,

welcome to the first adventure of the 5th season of Big Finish Torchwood ‘Night of the Fendahl’. It is the 25th adventure in total and it doesn’t feel like it is going that long and that I listened to so many of them. They were all so great. But back to this particular one. It is with Gwen Cooper and it is a sequel to the old story ‘Image of the Fendahl’. The story place at some point after she got her kid. So I would image it is after season 4 of Torchwood.

Hello I am your victim

That is how the story starts. I was what is going on. They are going to film a snuff movie and Gwen is playing the victim in it. This brings us to the question what is wrong with Gwen. Because she would never take part in such a thing. You all know that I am not a big fan of Gwen. But she is strong and will never act like this. So something seems to posses her.

Dark…

The story is a really dark one. You can see the dark night in front of your eyes, the rain pouring down, thunder… it creates a really dark and cold atmosphere. Than there are the four man who are up to no good. It feels like the danger is right there to grab. Actually I feel really uncomfortable when I heard the adventure. It is like you just want to turn around and run far away. But you can’t. You know that Gwen wouldn’t run. You know that Gwen will not bow to anyone but somehow it is not Gwen so you don’t feel so secure. So everything can happen to her.

Phil the good one…

Three of the man feel like aggressors. The fourth Phil feels different. He seems trying to help Gwen, to make her leave but just with words. But he is not going… he is still going through with it. But it doesn’t really feel like he is forced to be there. He may not really want to be there but one the other hand he wants to. When she doesn’t run, he is starting to blame her. On the first one he looks like is better than the others but I think in the end he is as bad as all of the others.

It is great and dark and it feels so uncomfortable but still go and listen to it. It is a great story.
