Torchwood: Sabotage
Mar. 2nd, 2024 01:01 amAce and Mr Colchester.
They're fun because there's a tiny overlap in the venn diagram of their interests that puts them on the same side, but ever so much else where they're not. They respect each other but they've got different jobs with different priorities. So they spend much of this audio sort of politely telling each other they're doing the wrong job the wrong way.
It's all the kind of plausible in the real world corporate ecological problems that could go in a different genre most of the time, but it's also plausibly what Ace and Mr Colchester would be doing these days.
It's almost a surprise when the Whoniverse story turns out to be about aliens after all.
Like you've been busy with the people stuff and forgot what else they do.
I like it a lot.
