BFA Torchwood 57 The Grey Mare
A Ianto story set in a beautiful and Welsh speaking bit of Wales.
... whenever he says he doesnt speak Welsh they go 'from Cardiff?' and he's like 'yeah'
I like when the stories seem to really love Wales. Even with all the monsters, the point isnt the monsters, its the people dealing with them. So I liked this story very well.
Technically this is the second time I listened to it, but the first time was after I had my booster vaccine just before christmas and I ended up very, very, vague on what actually happened in it, apart from the bit at the end where they eat turkey and remember the time the oven didnt work so they had to boil the turkey. Mum's oven dpesnt work this year but she has a microwave so that worked better.
Today it was proper spooky and atmospheric. It starts out just a nice little rental house in a nice little village and ends up all horse skulls and Torchwood. The creep factor builds up and up and it uses the audio to have them sitting in the dark a lot so they can see about as much as we can.
There's also layers of emotional story going on between the... ghastly bits. Ianto and love. And death.
Good story for midwinter nights, will listen again.
