Peter Capaldi
‘John Frobisher’
“Just
tell me it's something small. Tell me it's a, it's a meteorite, or a shadow on
the moon. Just for once, tell me it's easy.”
Frobisher was the man in
charge of dealing with the 456, and putting a halt to any involvement by
Torchwood by any means possible. When the alien threat wanted 10% of the
children, the Prime Minister put forward that John Frobisher should give up his
children to the inoculation, as an act that the government were leading the
way. Naturally, Frobisher couldn't allow this, and took the only other option
on the table. Requisition 31!
Now, what can we tell you
about Peter Capaldi that you may not already know?
Before he appeared as
Frobisher, he played Caecilius in Doctor Who episode The Fires of Pompeii in
2008, before returning to Doctor Who to play the 12th Doctor from 2013 - 2017.
One of the things that tickled me pink was the role he played in World War Z,
as a W.H.O. Doctor!!!
He provided the voice of
the Doctor for The Doctor and the Dalek video game in 2014. Played Mr Curry in
Paddington in the same year and returning in the sequel in 2017. Provided his
voice again for Lego Dimensions video game as yes, you've guessed it - The
Twelfth Doctor in 2015. Popped up briefly in the first episode of Class in
2016. Appeared in two episodes of Children in Need in the same year as The
Doctor. Lends his voice to Watership Down miniseries as Kehaar in 4 episodes in
2018. Played David Simon in the music video Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi
this year, and that song never grows old. Love it!
Capaldi plays Dolben in
Martin's Close which is in post-production, and although no mention of a role
title, is currently in pre-production of The Suicide Squad, which is released
in 2021. So, a wee while to wait on that one.
Paul Copley
‘Clement McDonald’
“They
took us out. In the night, in the dark. Isn't it, isn't it? They told us, they
said we were going to a new home. The staff. They drove us away for miles and
miles. They were there in the sky. The light took them. I ran. There was something, there was
people, there was. Isn't it, isn't it, isn't it, isn't it?”
Clem was the only child
not to be taken by the 456 back in the mid-60s. As the eleven children walked
towards the light, Clem took to his heels and ran in the opposite direction,
away from Captain Jack Harkness and the military on the moors. But the 456 never
forgot about him. Tying up loose ends, the alien claimed McDonald.
Since Torchwood, Paul
Copley has played Arthur Dixon and Mick McCarthur for 6 episodes of Casualty
from 1995 - 2010, Douggie Price, Dave Walton and Douglas Frampton for 7
episodes of The Bill from 1990 - 2010. Was in one episode of The Royal as
Nesbitt in 2011. Was Alan in (Present Day) in the miniseries White Heat in
2012. Played single episode characters in Midsomer Murders and Vera in 2014.

On episode Passengers, alongside Eve Myles, whose character he was teaching to

episode characters for Mount Pleasant and The Coroner in 2016. From 2012 - 2016

filming for Thousand Yesterdays, playing Charlie Rainbird and plays Geoffrey
for The Infectious Imagination of Henry Bramble currently in post-production.
Both of these are short films. Has also joined the cast of The Archers.
Nicholas Farrell
‘Brian Green’
“When
I was a kid, it was the bomb. Iron Curtain. Reds under the bed. It was all so
bloody simple. Now it comes raining down from the skies, made of metal,
stinking green and God knows what. I find myself running a country under siege
from above.
I'm
not having my name on this. You never told me. I was never a part of it. I
never knew. Is that understood?”
Brian Green was the Prime
Minister of Great Britain, and I wouldn't trust him with my Grandmother.
However, after the death of Frobisher in Day Five, things took a turn for the
worst for Brian Green, thanks to Lois Habiba, Bridget Spears, Torchwood and a
pair of alien contact lenses.
Since Torchwood, Nicholas
Farrell's acting credits date back as far as 1975 and a Play for Today episode

Susan Brown
‘Bridget Spears’
"How
I met John Frobisher. It was thirty years ago. You weren't even born. I was on
attachment to the Civil Service, only for six months. And just down the corridor,
there he was. You wouldn't think it to look at him now, but he was a clumsy
thing. Always losing his key. Mister Swales never thought he'd amount to much,
but I thought, well, keep an eye on that one. And all the others came and went.
The high flyers, they burnt out or went on to something better. And do you know
what John Frobisher did? He kept working. Head down, worked hard, all his life.
It was another ten years before we actually worked in the same office. He asked
for me. I didn't think he even knew my name. And we made quite the team. I'm
not saying he was perfect. You know that better than me. But he worked hard. He
always worked hard. I don't think that's valued enough these days, hard work.
And he was a good man. I want you to know that. John Frobisher was a good man.
Because when the history of this is written, they'll talk about the ministers,
and the soldiers, and the things with numbers for names, and I think people
will forget how very good he was. I want you to remember him like that. If ever
you think of John Frobisher, just remember that it wasn't his fault."
(taken from Day Five)
Bridget Spears was a close
friend and acquaintance of John Frobisher. So it was a huge shock when he
demanded Requisition 31. After his death, Bridget took matters into her own
hands to remove Green from office.
Since Torchwood, Susan
Brown has been in many familiar television dramas including medical drama
series, Doctors as Brenda Napier for episode Ghost in 2010. Sue Myers in Waking
the Dead for two parter episode Harbinger in 2011. Probably better known for

Lucy Cohu
‘Alice Carter’
“Oh,
you bastard. Something happens to kids, and you want to spend time with him on
the same day. You are not experimenting on that boy, Dad. Not ever. That's why
I want you to stay away. Because you're dangerous.”
Alice Carter was Jack
Harkness' daughter. She was fiercely protective over her son Steven, and never
forgave Jack for his actions against the 456.
Since Torchwood, and
perhaps since 2013, Lucy popped up in a lot of television dramas and films.
Such as Atlantis as Circe in 2013. Inspector George Gently as Margaret Turner a

Summer of Rockets.
Ian Gelder
‘Mr Dekker’
“Four
five six. I warned you. We converted the readings onto digital years ago, but I
kept the original equipment. Call it nostalgia. Then this morning it woke up.
Eight forty, and again at ten thirty, transmitting on the 456. Just five
seconds in duration, but that's enough. Well, I think it's a burst of compressed
information. I'm running it through the translators. It might take a while. But
the point is, the 456 was open.”
Mr Dekker was one of those
civil servants who wore long brown over coats and hid in cupboard sized offices
and kept himself to himself. He knew the workings of government. He wasn't a
Yes Man. He would still be in a job, long after those in government had been
overthrown.
Since Torchwood, Ian
Gelder has played single character roles for Silent Witness as Dr Stanley
Jacobs in 2010, Butler in Psychoville in 2011, Stan Tremlett in Endeavour in

Cush Jumbo
‘Lois Habiba’
“Sorry.
My name's Lois. Lois Habiba. Just started today. I'm helping out Miss Spears
while they introduce the new computer system?”
Lois Habiba picked one
hell of a day to start work as a civil servant. With her help, Torchwood were
able to access much more intel on the government's handling of the 456, and
were able to gain access to Thames House, although the outcome went a little
awry to begin with. :(
Since Torchwood, Cush

Liz May Brice
‘Johnson’
“Theory
would suggest it's connected to the Torchwood Hub, that Rift thing, which makes
the whole place a target.”
Johnson was in charge of
the UNIT task force, on instruction from Colonel Oduya responsible for
capturing Captain Jack Harkness and placing a bomb in his stomach. Aware of his
Lazarus qualities, knew it would take more than a bomb to stop him in his
tracks. Perhaps incarcerating him in a cell full of concrete might just do the
trick. Towards the end of the 'week', Johnson soon realised that she was
working for the wrong team.
Since Torchwood, Brice has
played not only physical characters, but also voiced several others. Including
as a voice over for How TV Ruined Your Life, as a News Reporter, and Karen
Itis, in 2011. Between 2005 - 2013 Brice played Lyn Marshall and Rachel Farley

Charles Abomeli
‘Colonel Oduya’
“Might
be nothing, sir. But it's my job to inform the Government, even if it turns out
to be a false alarm. [Then what is it?] Children, sir. It’s the children. But
the accidents are just one part of a picture. Because every other child stopped
at the same time. And not just in Britain.
At
eight forty GMT, most of America was asleep, but even there, we're beginning to
get reports. I think we can assume it's all of them, sir. As far as we can
tell, at eight forth this morning, every single child in the world stopped.”
Colonel Oduya was the
first to break the news to Frobisher regarding the children and the 456.
Since Torchwood, Abomeli
has played Mr. Swanson for Why Life Sucks When You're in Your 20s, in 2016.

Rik Makarem
‘Rupesh Patanjali’
“Alien
life. Even though half the world's still denying it. For me, okay, it's the
suicides. The past few years suicide rates have doubled, and that's ever since
the first alien. My first case, my first death, was a suicide. Do you know why
she did it? Because she'd written all these letters. She'd been a Christian all
her life, and then alien life appears. She wrote this bit. She said, it's like
science has won.”
Rupesh Patanjali was the
NHS doctor brought in by the government agency to pull Torchwood off the trail
of the 456. Luring Captain Jack Harkness to the morgue to inspect 'suspicious'
cases of missing patients, is shot in the back by the 'doctor', who in turn is
shot in the back while fleeing from Johnson.
Since Torchwood Makarem
has played Simon Rothstein in Foyle's War episode The Hide in 2010. Probably
better known for his role in Emmerdale as Nikhil Sharma for 607 episodes from
2009 - 2016, and played Sebastian Grayling in BBC hospital drama Casualty for 8
episodes from 2016 - 2017.
Katy Wix
‘Rhiannon Davies’
“Oh,
that's it, is it? You're just gonna go now? Oh, sit down, you daft sod. I've
got some of that spinach dip. And you and me, well, we've got things to talk
about.”
Rhiannon Davies is Ianto
Jones' sister. She revealed a lot more about Ianto than the team who worked
with him, were aware of. She was ferociously protective of her brother and
family.
Katy Wix is a comedy
actress and since Torchwood she has been extremely busy with her Horrible
Histories character roles including her role as the Watling Street Presenter in

aye, gay boy. She says you're taking it up the arse. How've you been then, you
smart bastard?”
Johnny is married to
Rhiannon. He has a lot to say for himself and whenever possible will try and
make his brother in law blush. Johnny waved off the Torchwood SUV with a brick
or two after thieves on the estate where he lives, made off with it, even after
Ianto assured him it was triple deadlocked.
Since Torchwood, Lewis has
played single character roles from Gavin & Stacey as Nev the bouncer in
2009, Young Tom in Being Human in 2011, Man 8 in The Somnambulists in the same

isn't a hula hoop craze. It happened to Brian and Wendy's kids, and they live
in Canada. You don't think this is over any more than I do.” [from Day Two]
Anna was Frobisher's wife.
They had two young daughters. She was very concerned for the amount of pressure

‘Nurse’
“Timothy
White, fifty-two years old. He’s been with us three months, but he’s got a
history of being in and out of care all his life. If he’s got a different name,
he’s never said. He spent forty years living in Leeds. That’s where he first
came on record. Found homeless, living on the streets at the age of eleven.
Nobody ever reported him missing. Apparently, though, he did have a Scottish
accent back then. Gone now, but he was a long way lost.”
Lawson is the nurse Gwen

[from
Day Four]
Young Clem climbed onto
the bus that would take him out of the children's home and onto the moors,
where an alien spacecraft would transport his friends to another world. But not
for Clem. He ran and ran and ran. Away from the man in the uniform who beckoned
him towards the craft. He ran from the space ship, and his friends. He hid and
he stayed off the grid. He slept rough until he was once again put into a home
but all the while aware of the different smells, that eventually, the 456 would
return for him. And eventually, it did.
Since Torchwood, Ferguson

Crisian Emanuel
‘Mother’
“Come
on, Tyler. Tyler, just stop it. I haven't got time to muck around. Tyler. All
right, I'll just leave you there. Is that what you want? If I just leave you in
the middle of town?”
Walking to school and your
child is frozen to the spot. Unblinking. Unmoving. What can you do? Curse.
Swear. Threaten. It has little to no effect, until after a few moments, the child
either screams, or begins to chant, or snaps out of it altogether and walks
along as if nothing happened.

love, I haven't got time. I've got to be in work. Now come on, sweetheart.
People are staring at you. Sasha, stop it. Sasha, stop it. Sasha. Please help
her.”
Again,
unsure which mother she is, but same applies as above.

no further credits for Barker. Prior to Torchwood however, Barker played Clare

‘Father’
“We're
going to be late. Suzette, stop it. You're just looking silly. Do you want
other people to see you looking silly?”
Was the father of a child
who stood stock still on the way to school and wouldn't move for love nor
money.
Since Torchwood, played a
Diligent Copper for The Big I Am in 2010. Since then, nothing credited.
