Apologies for the late upload, this was meant to drop yesterday but we all know the drill, copyright shenanigans- but I hope you all enjoy the video! If you want me to talk more about Children of Earth of Miracle Day let me know in the comments below

I love how Peter plays 3 different doctor who characters

Congratulations to the 456's Ambassador on being approved as Pure Evil on the Villains Wiki today.

absolutely terrifying to think that a mothership was not real and this is just a tweaking junkie

Torchwood Series 3 is one of the best series of Who-related TV and is a near-perfect distillation of the potential Torchwood had before its cancellation.

I miss torchwood. The idea of a way grittier show set in the doctor who franchise blew my mind as a kid

Tbh the 456 kinda remind me of the Sycorax, in that they're seemingly more bark than bite. Like, yeah, they both seem to have incredible power, being able to possess large chunks of the human race, and the 456 release a virus in 1 building, but that's pretty much where their power ends. Not only that, but all it takes to defeat them is to use their own wavelength against them. They have a lot of mystery surrounding them which makes them intimidating, but personally I don't think they're the all-powerful malevolent beings they try to appear as. It's the mystery that makes them so interesting though!

It’s incredible how just two words can turn an already horrifying situation into an absolutely nightmarish one.

The idea that it was just one guy trying his luck is somehow even scarier than a race of them 💀

Honestly when they show the child that was taken from the 60s in the tank being used as drugs - that still scares me as an adult.
Horrible.

I remember when I first realised that 'Torchwood' is an anagram of 'Doctor Who', it seemed so obvious afterwards.

When I first watched this and heard the words “the hit” my jaw actually dropped like literally and that’s never happened.  I was so so shocked about how far a Whoniverse show could go, and then when I saw the shot of the kid all wired up, that was tough man.  I so respect the guts they had to show this and I strangely really want to see more stuff like this in the supposed new spinoff (maybe UNIT… hopefully not UNIT).

Definitely more videos on Torchwood and Children of Earth please, and even more RTD Whoniverse content maybe?  I love your videos and it’d be great to see more stuff like this.  I definitely want to see a more in depth explanation as to what you think The 456 are

I’m okay with the Daleks absolutely torching the 456’s planet

I remember watching the series the first time and joking with my family watching with me that they want the children as drugs. Once the 456 said "the hit" I was completely shocked that my dumb joke to smooth tension while watching was correct. I remember going "You don't even want them as slaves or something. Just to get high". Such a gut wrenching scene in the show omg

I always assumed the 456 we see on the show is a rogue member of their species who also is a drug dealer. I think the plural pronouns are representative of the fact that he has multiple heads and is possibly a collective being.

I just love the reason they gave for why the Doctor never cameo’d in torchwood and it’s because The threats the TW team faced would suffer a fate far worse than what Jack’s team did to them.

What people need to understand about the Doctor is that he’s effectively a more terrifying Erdrich horror than anything he’s Ever faced,

I love the idea that Sarah Jane and Jack’s teams aren’t just protecting the earth when the Doctor isn’t there they are also effectively sparing the Threats to earth a fate far worse than death,
(The Doctor has always been an Anti-hero masquerading as a Hero)

The family of blood are the perfect example of why you don’t cross the Doctor.  I like to imagine the 456 just screaming in terror if they heard the Tardis engines.

Torchwood had so much potential and was so good at points. I really wish they had written and invested more into the show. Children of earth was so unique and chilling one of the best in the DW universe.

This storyline was f*cking terrifying. The influence from conspiracy theory and old myths makes this series so, so very upsetting. If the Doctor had been on Earth at that time, I'd like to think he'd have given them a worse treatment than the family of blood. Scares me still.

The 456 is the scariest villain in the whoverse that i have ever seen

Children of Earth is my single favorite season of Torchwood. Somehow it just hit every chord right. Also, Capaldi.
