A Torchwood radio drama set after the death of Tosh and Owen. Torchwood is following the trail of a highly dangerous energy field, one that is causing thousands of people to disappear in Delhi, India. Once the team arrives at the source location, Captain Jack Harkness discovers Torchwood India and his former lover, the Duchess, still the same over eighty years after his last visit.

A pleasant enough tale that would've been better served in a longer format. The primary focus is on Jack with the barest minimum of Gwen and Ianto. I did find it funny that the Duchess looked at Ianto rather than Gwen as Jack's current lover. Danger for Ianto and Gwen, but the lack of real time made it barely worth a blip of worry.

More like 3 and 1/2 stars. Still the one I liked the best even after a second listen. I liked that Queen Victoria created branches of Torchwood throughout the Empire. Torchwood India opens up like many, many possibilities. I even liked The Duchess in all her delirium. It's something that couldn't have been filmed but makes a good action pack radio play.
