Five episodes over five weeks!

We're rewinding to 2009 for Torchwood: Children of Earth. An alien threat is returning, the government is killing witnesses, and Cardiff bay is about to go up in smoke.

Is this the bleakest and best series the Whoniverse has ever done?

NEW EPISODE! 🚨

We're hopping in the car and heading to the year 5 billion and 53.

We chat about rebound tourism, old-fashioned cats, the return of Boe, our love for Martha, and the horror of living your entire life in one chair…

Lovely ep! Underrated! But also this episode holds a strange place in personal life because I made this comic at the time that created a semi-viral, fandom joke that "Rose loved drugs!"

Not my proudest moment but it genuinely was a stepping stone to being a full-time comic artist now.

Doctor Who fan comic with the 10th Doctor and Martha jones.

Martha: So this is New Earth?
Doctor: I was with Rose last time...

Martha: You've taken me to the slums?
Doctor: Rose lived in the slums.

Martha: Are they selling drugs?
Doctor: Rose loved drugs!

The characters are surrounding the dying Face of Boe.

Martha: Was is it?

The Doctor runs of crying WAA! while Novice Hame says "How could be so insensitive? Rose always asked "What is it?"

This week on Wholala, we’re in 1879 Scotland for Tooth and Claw!

Rose is baiting the monarchy, Ten is swapping accents, and the Torchwood Estate is about to host the least relaxing sleepover in history.

Is this one actually an underrated gem? 🐺
