'If you've got forever,
you don't notice the flecks on the concrete or bother to touch the bricks. And
you send your friends into danger, knowing the stakes aren't the same for you,
that you might get them killed while you walk away unscathed.'
Captain
Jack Harkness
Skye Deva Bennett
‘Little Girl’ (Tarot Reader)
'When
the people found out what it could do, they built the church on top of it. If I
told you not to use it, would you listen?'
Skye played the Little
Girl who read the tarot cards to Captain Jack Harkness. She knew why he had
come to see her. She was the same girl who had read his tarot cards in
'Fragments' after he'd returned to Earth in the Victorian age, and had informed
him then that a century or so would need to pass before he would see the Doctor
again, which had forced him to take up employment with Torchwood.
Skye's professional career
began at the age of 10 when she played Steven Seagal's daughter in 'Shadowman'.
Her theatrical debut came at the age of 13 when she played Nadia, in Peter
Flannery's translation of 'Burnt by the Sun' at the National Theatre, in
London, in March 2009.
She played Young Martha in
the television mini series 'The Pillars of the Earth' for 8 episodes in 2010.
Skye has been in both Casualty and Holby City playing three different
characters.
In 2016 she played Lisa in
Friday Night Dinner series, in the episode Congratulations. And played a range
of different characters for the medical afternoon drama series Doctors from
2007 - 2017.
As well as acting, Skye
has also voiced characters for video games, such as Xenoblade Chronicles 2:
Torna~The Golden Country, as Mythra in 2018, Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 as Wasp
and White Tiger, and in the English version of Zenobureido 2 as Pyra, and
Mythra again in 2017.
Joanna Griffiths
‘Nurse’
'Can
I have a hand in here, please? All right, wake up! Dressing gowns on! It's not
a drill. Can you listen to me carefully, please?'
Torchwood insisted that
patients needed to leave the hospital immediately, while the risk of one more
death would raise the total towards 13, needed for Duroc to return to walk the
Earth. The nurse discovered that one child was still missing and lost her life
looking for him.
Joanna's career began in
1982 as a garage attendant in the Play for Today series, England's Greens and
Peasant Land. She went on to play a DHSS Clerk in Brookside in 1984, Carla in
Casualty in '98 before playing another character in Holby City in 2001. After
Torchwood she played WPC Helen Anderson in A Bit of Tom Jones? in 2009 and Sara
Bjorkland in Wallander a year earlier. Her credits end in 2012 in New Tricks
where she played Catherine in The Girl Who Lived.
Ben Walker
'Jamie Burton'
'They're
trying to make me have it again. It didn't work though. The cancer just comes
back, just makes my hair fall out. I'm gonna die. I might as well do it with
eyebrows.'
Jamie is playing video
games on a hand-held device in the toilets so doesn't hear the nurse looking
for him. When he returns afterwards, he discovers the dried-out husk of the
nurse beside his bed. He runs for the door and is rescued by Owen.
A year before playing
Jamie, Ben played Roger in the film The Golden Compass (and I so wish they'd
continued that film with the original cast).
After Torchwood, Ben
played Jamie for another series - Demons in the episode The Whole Enchilada in
2009. He played Gus Waterford in Doctors in 2010 in the episode The Light
Fantastic. In 2012 he played Stanley in film short Still Falls the Rain.
Nothing is mentioned after that.
Lauren Phillips
'Hen Night Girl'
'Smile,
it won't kill you. You're gorgeous, you are.'
Dressed as an Angel, Hen
Night Girl comes onto Owen and kisses him, a hand slipping into his trousers
and is a little disappointed when she gets no sexual response. Understandable,
given Owen has just come back from the dead.
Lauren voiced three
characters for It's My Shout in 2005 - 2006 for The Playhouse, Gun/Pineapple
Girl and First Kiss/The Hunt for a New Bob Crutch. She played Kelly Evans in
Pobol y Cwm for 3 episodes, from 2004 - 2006 and a partygoer in Ghost Image a
year before Torchwood. Since then, Lauren has played a Coosa High Cheerleader
in Dance of the Dead in 2008, Alicia in iCarly episode, iCook in 2009 and in
2016 played an Opening Dancer in Center Stage: on Pointe.
Golda Rosheuvel
'Doctor'
'Her
red blood cell count is through the floor and she's massively dehydrated. All
of which has placed a considerable strain on her heart.'
Golda played the doctor
who tended to Martha who resembled an 80-year-old woman.
It's not Golda's first
outing with Torchwood. She played Dr Angela Connolly in Exit Wounds. It's
possible, given that her name wasn't used in this episode, that she could still
be Angela Connolly in Dead Man Walking.
Prior to Torchwood,
Golda's television and film roles began in 2000 when she played Maid by Fire
and in the Ensemble of Jesus Christ Superstar. Much of her earlier credits were
as Doctors in some form or another, playing Doctor Lorrimer in Casualty in
2006, then a Hospital receptionist in 2008, after TW, and Doctor Renshaw in
Corrie in 2012.
Golda went on to play two
different characters in Holby City in from 2011 - 2012, but a midwife in
Eastenders in 2015. More recently played Lyndsey Morrison in Silent Witness in
2019 having played Celia Ojama in 2008.
Janie Booth
'Hospital Patient'
Janie played a heart
attack patient in Intensive Care. She had no lines to speak.
Janie is an actress as
well as a writer, and is the daughter of American actress Tucker McGuire.
Her first credited acting
role came in 1961 when she played Marie in the television series Amelia. Janie
has played characters in many well-known television series' from the 1970s such

Rhys ap William
'Police Officer'
'That's
enough. Let's calm down, shall we? Yeah, of course you are, and I'm MI5.'
When Owen tussled with
Jack in the night club, the cops came to break it up and took both men back to
the station in different cars, while weevils looked on from across the road.
Back in 2002, Rhys played
a journalist in A Mind to Kill, before his role in Torchwood, and Welsh film
