Well, do you know what? Again, it's linked all the way back to Doctor Who and it's linked all the way back to Rocketman.

You know that first job I told you about that Julie Gardner was producer on it? Well, the last two episodes of Rocketman were directed by a young director called James Strong.

And James was great then.

He's always been brilliant.

And then I did Rocky Mountain.

On the read-through of Torchwood, that famous night in Cardiff, who was in the bar, James Strong.

know how that works in a basement.

There will be a brand new exclusive interview with director James Strong and original Ood voice actor Silas Carson has even recorded fresh lines to flesh out the ultimate crop tour experience.

Naturally, this was all shot in standard definition back in the day, though the original cut has been released in upscaled HD on Blu-ray.

Um, written by the one and only Russell T. Davies, when he could actually write proper Doctor Who.

Uh, directed by James Strong, who has, you know, directed loads of other episodes.

Um, quite a few Torchwood ones as well, uh, which we've recently reviewed.

Cyberwoman springs to mind, and, um, They Keep Killing Suzie, um, which was not a bad episode to be honest.

Episode one would now be block four.

A new director was now needed.

This would be James Strong, who had recently completed the work on the 2007 Christmas special, Voyage of the Damned.

Mm.
