Jack and Toshiko head to a disused club, over complaints of music being heard, no sooner are they there, then they are transported back to 1941, Owen, Ianto and Gwen face a race to open The rift, and get them back.
So many good elements, the mystery itself, the threat of the rift opening, and of course that jaw dropping moment when The real Captain Jack Harkness is introduced.
A very resonant moment where Toshiko realises that back then she would have been eyed with suspicion, a theme that would now very likely be omitted.
You'd want Gwen and Owen on your side, I fear if it was just Ianto, you'd be stuck somewhere in the past.
Lots of little, satisfying snippets to look out for, The Bad Wolf sign, The Vote Saxon posters, series one of Torchwood felt more like an extension of Doctor Who than simply a spin-off series.
I've grown to enjoy Murray Melvin's performance as Bilis, he's certainly a bit creepy and strange, a shade camp, but he's menacing and intriguing enough, overall the character works very well.
9/10.
