in 2008
Time is splintering when
an old abandoned hospital is set to be demolished. Visions of 1918 are seeping
into the present. Only Tommy, shell shocked from the War can reset time, and
only Toshiko can help him.
Anthony Lewis
'Thomas Reginald Brockless'
'First
year they woke me up, 1919, they told me it was all over. We won. The war to
end all wars, they said. And then three weeks later, you had the Second World
War. After all that. Do you never wonder if we're worth saving? The human
race?'
Anthony Lewis plays Tommy
Brockless, a young WWI soldier, shell-shocked from the atrocities of WWI. He's
woken every year since 1918 because at some point in the future, Torchwood will
need his help to save the world. He goes through rigorous tests to see that
he's functioning well, and for an old guy in a young body he seems healthier
than the rest put together. He's bitter about the wars still raging around the
world, feeling that the War to End all Wars wasn't as effective as he'd first
thought.
