Hapus Gwen Elizabeth Cooper,
today the world of social media will celebrate your day with you, from photos,
and selfies and moments in time when Torchwood was a name that was more than a
mere whisper in close circles.
On
this day in 2002, episode 3 of Real Time was broadcast. It
starred Colin Baker as the Doctor with companion Evelyn Smythe played by Maggie
Stables. It was written and directed by
Gary Russell and produced by James Goss and Jason Haigh-Ellery, and produced
for BBC Worldwide by Jacqueline Rayner.
The story was originally
a webcast for BBCi and was released on CD on 12th December 2002, but
originally broadcast in 6 x 10 min episodes between August 2nd –
September 6th, 2002.
The story began on the
desert planet of Chronos in the 33rd Century. Survey teams working for a university had
vanished amongst the pyramids on the planet.
Amongst those who have disappeared, one is an expert on
cybernetics. It isn’t long before the
Doctor and companion Evelyn learn the deadly truth, that the planet is being used
as a base for....Cybermen!

McDonald, to name but a few.
