Yvonne Hartman and Tommy have gone undercover at a couples' retreat. Will anyone buy their May to December romance?
Torchwood came looking for a mysterious energy signal and instead found themselves caught in a web of troubled lovers becoming ever closer.
Perhaps what Yvonne and Tommy really need is time apart from each other?

Lead actor Tracy-Ann Oberman said: "Yvonne and Tommy are quite mismatched, although they know each other extremely well. Underneath Tommy's bluff exterior, because he’s seen Yvonne all the way from the new girl to the very quick rise up the Torchwood ranks, he really respects and admires Yvonne, but also feels protective of her.”
Writer Helen Marshall added: "It’s a romantic comedy with very little romance in it. What I really like about writing for Tommy and Yvonne is they have a strange sort of work marriage, but they are completely different people, and it's not particularly equal – Yvonne is definitely in charge.
"Yvonne is ambitious. She’s willing to sacrifice those around her. She really doesn’t care who gets hurt with what she has planned. And Tommy is like that on-the-brink-of-retirement cop in all the buddy cop movies. He has seen things. He is ready to get out. But he’s maybe also a little bit warmer and gentler than he lets on in the beginning.”
