Editor’s Note

 

Hands up if you’re absolutely sick and tired of Coronavirus? Yeah us too, but it seems that it’s likely to stick around for some time to come, so certain end of year festivals and celebrations may not happen this year.   

So, we need to be able to keep you entertained in the meantime, and we hope you’ll enjoy our little Issue this month. We’ve reviews galore, along with our usual articles on where cast of Immortal Sins are now. Naturally, it’s been difficult locating much of the cast, especially those with very small roles, so we’ve done the best we can, and hope to update many of these articles if and when new information comes in. 

Our wonderful Who Reviewers have been busy this month with reviews from the 2nd, 9th and 11th Doctor. There’s also reviews from the world of television dramas which have also seeped into the Connections this month.   

Like David Jason, Tennant has a complete knack to scare the hell out of you, playing psychopaths and serial killers. Not a hint of the 10th Doctor in his most recent role. *shivers* 

We’ve also got a review of Enola Holmes and what a brilliant film that was. I hope there’s many more Adventures lined up with Millie Bobby Brown in the lead role. 

This month, our Captain takes the lead with Locations and we’re into Day Three of Children of Earth. Interesting little note here – if anyone is interested in sharing their location stories with us, do please get in touch with us, at the usual address. We’d love to hear from you. 

We’re also on the look out for book reviewers – there are still a wealth of Who novels out there that we’ve not read, as yet. Plenty of 11th Doctor stories, including 12th and 13th and if you’re a big fan of these, then do please, let us know, and share your reviews here. 

Ahh, coffee has gone cold! IANTO, more coffee…please *claps hands together, puppy dog eyes* Works every time. 

I want to take this opportunity of thanking my wonderful writing team for all their reviews this month and to Tiziana for once more, a wonderful, absolutely brilliant front cover. I especially love this one!

Articles Where Are They Now - Miracle Day - Immortal Sins Cast? by DJ Forrest

 

On a journey of discovery, Jack learns that Gwen would stop at nothing to save her family, and Gwen learns that, with this new found mortal life, Jack would stop at nothing to stay alive, if only he could untie himself and escape from the back of the car. Both learn that when a team come together, that they stay together for life, and as Jack is driven to the rendezvous point, to meet those with a vested interest in Harkness, the tables are about to turn on the Colasanto's. 

But while the present is gearing towards that moment, we're transported back to 1927, Ellis Island, New York, where a young Italian immigrant has stolen a visa and is making out that he's Captain Jack Harkness (who was on a mission from Torchwood at the time). He's later thrown into a cell to be shipped back to Italy, until Jack intervenes and a relationship is forged, until Jack is shot in the head, and returns to visit Angelo Colasanto who thinks that the man standing before him, is the devil. 

When an interesting three family group learn about the man who cannot die, while he is strung up in a butcher shop in Little Italy, and is repeatedly shot, stabbed and mutilated, a plan is hatched and Jack, over time, is captured and bled for their 'long game' to take effect on the world. 

"People like you, kill me."  Jack Harkness as he falls backwards from the rooftop of the butcher's shop. 

 

Nana Visitor 

'Olivia Colasanto' 

“You'll want to come with me because I can take you to the one man who knows how the Miracle began. Angelo. Angelo Colasanto. He's waiting for you, Jack. He's been waiting for such a very long time.” 

Olivia Colasanto was the granddaughter of Angelo Colasanto. In a bid to bring Jack Harkness to her grandfather, before he died, she had orchestrated the kidnapping of Gwen’s family in order for her to obey the instructions on the Eye-5 software. 

Many will know Nana from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine back in 1993 where she played Intendant/Colonel and later, Major Kira Nerys for 173 episodes.

'Angelo Colasanto'

 “I'm never gonna let you go. I could travel this whole wide world, but where would I find another man like you? Please, don't leave me on my own.” 

Angelo’s life had taken on a dramatic turning point after the butcher’s shop, and he’d remembered Jack’s words about the stock market crash and saved, and brought up a family and spied on Jack throughout his life. Photos of him adorn the mantelpiece in his ranch.

This is the location where Johnson's team thought Torchwood was hiding. 

Will take 4 mins of walking to reach this, using the A4119. Head west towards Bute Place/A4119, turn left onto Bute Place and continue to follow the A4119. Turn right onto W Bute Street for 174 ft (take a measuring tool with you - or have a Ianto handy), and turn left onto Mount Stuart Arcade, after almost 200 ft you've reached your destination. 

Mount Stuart Square was created for dock workers to reside at, so they were close to their work, back in the 1800s, but over time and many years later, this area is also a very commercialised area of the city and has quickly become a placec for more upmarket residential properties, which look onto the main Square. 

I would imagine that dock workers probably wouldn't be able to afford to live there now. 

 

Canal Park (south gate), Butetown, Cardiff  

Canal Park has been used for Doctor Who episode Army of Ghosts in 2006. This was also the location in Adam after Jack had seen Gray and talked it through with Adam. It was also in this episode, where Rhys stole a laptop from a guy seated on a bench talking to Gwen. 

By Bus 

If you're using the 304 there should be a bus every 15 minutes. Although with Covid, you may need to wait a while longer. 

Catch the 304 at Llantwit Major, which makes 2 stops before its destination at Mount Stuart Square. Along this route you will pass the Cardiff Bay Police Station, in James Street, and the Cardiff Food Centre, both to the left of your journey. 

If you're going on foot, it's almost a straight line but takes a little longer to reach. 

Taking journey from the Millennium Centre, you're pretty much following the above destination for Mount Stuart Square, then turn left for 102 ft, then right for 0.2 miles, then left and your location will be on the right. 

 

AJ's Coffee House, 20 City Road, CF24 3DL Cardiff 

Not far from The Parade. Also, the place where Lois Habiba met Team Torchwood. 


It's quicker by car using the Central Link/A4234 route. 

Head out south-west on Bute Place/A470, and stay on this road for 0.2 miles. Turn right onto Hemingway Road. At the roundabout, take the 3rd exit. At that roundabout, take the 1st exit onto Central Link/A4234. Use the right lane to turn right onto Adam Street/A4160. Using the middle lane to turn slightly right onto Moira Terrace, turn left onto Glossop Road. Use the left lane again to turn slightly right onto City road/B4261. AJ's Coffee House is on the right. 

 

The Parade, Roath, Cardiff 

Not far from AJ's Coffee House. 

The fastest route is by car via the Central Link/A4234 and takes 7 minutes. 

Take the Central Link/A4234 and A4160 to The Parade and stay on this road for 1.8 miles. Turn right onto The Parade. 

 

Tower Hill, Penarth 

In the street at the back of the house, Alice makes her escape with her son Stephen, and brandishes a gun she keeps hidden from her son. 


By car this takes 11 minutes and is 3.5 miles from Cardiff Millennium Centre.

Taking the Cardiff Bay Link road/A4232, A4055 and the A4160 to Tower Hill in Penarth takes 9 minutes or 3.4 miles. Turn right onto Tower Hill for 305 ft and you've reached your location 


Using Public Transport will take you considerably longer. 

If you catch the bus (8) from University Hospital of Wales, there will be 9 stops before it reaches Pentre Street. Get off here and walk to Grangetown which will take about 6 minutes. Catch the Penarth train which will take 7 minutes to reach Penarth and will stop twice along the way. Get off at Penarth and walk about 0.4 miles or 7 mins and you will reach your destination. 

Check the Cardiff Bus and Transport for Wales travel times though. As with the current climate, some of those destinations may have a reduced travel timetable. 

 

James Street, Cardiff 

This is one of the streets that Clem McDonald walked along, and while a woman waited at the lights to cross the street, Clem helped himself to her purse. 

James Street is the location of the Cardiff Bay Police Station, which we mentioned further up on the locations trip - to your left along the journey to Canal Park. 

It will only take 4 minutes on foot. It's 0.2 miles away from Millennium Centre. 

Walk west towards Bute Place/A4119 for 118 feet. Again, you'll need a Ianto for the measurements!!!

Turn left onto Bute Place/A4119 and continue on this road for 0.2 miles. 

 

Maindee Police Station, Newport (Gwent Police, 81 Chepstow Road, Maindee, Newport NP19 8XD 


This route is the quickest by car using the M4 and takes less than half an hour to reach. Using public transport will get you there within the hour. It's a 16.2 miles journey. 

Setting off from Bute Place, Cardiff, take the A470 and Hemingway Road to Cardiff Bay Link Road/Eastern Bay Link Road/A4232 for 0.7 miles. Continue on this road to Rover Way for 0.8 miles. Follow Rover Way to the A4232 for 2 miles. Take the Eastern Avenue/A48, A48 (M) and M4 to Malpas Road/A4051 in Newport and take Exit 26 from the M4 for 11.2 miles. Continue on the Malpas Road/A4051 and take the B4591 to Chepstow Road/B4237 in Maindee for 1.5 miles. You've reached the Gwent Police Station. 

 

Ty Gwyn Crescent, Cyngoed, Cardiff 

This is the street that Jack Harkness made the call to John Frobisher about his family, and where John Frobisher broke the news that they had Jack's daughter and grandson. 


The fastest route is by car and takes 14 minutes and is 5.7 miles away from Millennium Centre. 

Take the Cardiff Bay Link Road/Eastern Bay Link Road/A4232, Rover Way, A4232 and Llanederyn Road to Bronwydd Avenue for 5.6 miles. Follow the Bronwydd Avenue to Ty-Gwyn Crescent for 0.1 miles. 

 

Shoe Lane, London 

The street where Jack stole the sports car, while dressed in civvies. 

Given the Covid restrictions at the moment, travelling into the City of London may not be a wise thing, and because of the restrictions to public transport, we're only going to add the directions for M4 only. 

However, this doesn't go as smoothly as there are also those blessed Tolls. Although, I wonder, if you pay to get into England, do you still need to pay to get out again??? I remember Portmadoc only ever having to pay one way, so long as you still had your ticket. Worth checking! 

So, from Millennium Centre to Shoe Lane, London, will take 3 hours and 16 minutes and is 153 miles using the M4. Make sure all your jabs are up to date and you've got your passport. 

Take the Cardiff Bay Link Road/Eastern Bay Link Road/A4232, Rover Way, A4232 and Eastern Avenue/A48 to A48 (M) for 7.5 miles. Follow the M4 to Great West Road/A4 in London for 137 miles or 2 hours and 19 minutes. Continue on the M4, taking the A40 to A4208 in City of London for 8.5 miles or 32 minutes. 

Shoe Lane has quite a bit of history, some of which dates back to 1224 when the Dominican Black Friars first came to London and took up residency at the Holborn end of Shoe Lane, opposite St Andrews Holborn. 

Shoe Lane was once known as Shoe Alley. It has no connection with shoes but some believe it was possibly named after the well called Showelle or Sho Well. Or it has some connection with the tract of land known as Shoeland Farm, and that the land resembled the shape of a shoe. Whatever the true identity of the name once was, it appears that the lane does date back to a time when some part of London was on agricultural land.
