In Exit Wounds, we learn that Tosh was actually posing as a medic in Aliens of London, standing in for Owen in because he was hung over.

“We never did get that date.”

Owen, Exit Wounds

It’s a neat little aside in what is by far the best bit of Exit Wounds — Owen and Tosh’s death scenes, which despite the inconsistent ride these two characters have had over the course of two series, still manages to pack an emotional punch. Naoki Mori and Burn Gorman have never offered less than their all with whatever they’ve been given to work with and they don’t let the side down here.

The rest of Exit Wounds, sadly, is utterly uninvolving, all hinging, it seems, on a revenge plot by Jack’s long-thought-but-not-really dead brother Gray, who frustratingly, never once calls Jack by his real name!

So “Jack” it remains.

Whose to know what “Jack” and the slimmed-down Torchwood team will have to contend with next? Perhaps there’s a place for PC Andy in the Hub, after all.
