Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: PC Andy Davidson comes across something odd while on patrol.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.

The blue police box was an incongruous sight, something that had once been familiar but had long since fallen out of use.

Where this one had come from was anybody’s guess. Andy Davidson was sure it hadn’t been here earlier; he’d have noticed. Perhaps it was a prop for a TV show, or possibly a hoax, or a student prank.

The door opened and a dishevelled head poked out. “Hello there! What year is this?”

“Um, 2005.”

“Oh bother, I’m early.” The head vanished and with a grinding sound, the blue box faded out.

Andy shrugged. He’d seen stranger things.

The End

True, he's not worth getting bent out of shape over, but Ianto's cruel fate is!

Let's face it, RTD pushes our buttons even now =(

It was really crappy how Ianto went out.:(

Shooting bullets at the glass where the alien (456) was?

RTD and his questionable storytelling. I think he was more focused on making some point about lower-income society being seen as less significant or something.

It devalued the morale of the story for me.

It was just one more plot hole in a story riddles with them. Jack and Ianto knew e glass was bulletproof and wouldn't have fired at it in reality because of the danger from ricochets. They also went to confront aliens known to create viruses for their own purposes with no protection and no plan, even though they knew there was at least one hazmat suit in the building. It was so pointless! Entirely designed to get Ianto out of the picture =(

There was more holes than plot!

It would have been more logical to blow up the alien and Ianto got caught in the crossfire. Not that I'd like to think up of ways to kill off character's I like.

Rose:...Can’t we just launch a nuclear bomb at them?
Harriet Jones: You’re a very violent young woman.

The whole aliens getting high on human children was pretty sick and RTD couldn't think of a better way of resolving the threat?!!!

Yeah, most of the plot was either vile or didn't make sense. A sad end for Torchwood, since 99% of the time I refuse to accept Miracle Day as canon.

Having computer issues. Hope it's not going to break down in the middle of Contest Week!

I wish it had all been a bad dream and the end of Torchwood series three, no series two hadn't happen. I want the old team back!

Here's hoping you have better luck than me with computer issues. I'm trying to redo the learners test for driving online and it keeps cutting out.:(

That has to be annoying!

My computer is overheating, which is worrying. I managed to survive Contest Week though.

Yeah, most of the time I treat everything from Exit Wounds onwards as a bad dream. Everyone lives in my fics. Mostly.

I'll catch up with replies over the next week or so. I hope. Computer permitting.

Imagine Moffat running Torchwood?

He seldom let people die in his stories.

From:

That would've been so much better! It takes more ingenuity to keep characters alive than it does to kill them.

From:

It's scary how many died on a family show. The fact that Moffat had to point this out to RTD and him to realise it from that point on was freaky.

I know children shouldn't be shielded too much from the realities of life and death, but that doesn't mean they should be beaten over the head with it.
