84. Torchwood: The Restoration of Catherine

Producer and writer James Goss said: "We've joined Andy and Norton in the present and in Norton's time, so I thought, let's throw them into the distant past where theoretically neither of them has the upper hand and see how they get on.

"I'm a huge fan of Restoration Comedies - bawdy nonsense careering between farce and poetry where it's up to a cunning yet honest servant to sort everything out. Only in this case, Norton's the servant."

Actor Tom Price added: "I really love this episode because anything that throws a smaller cast into a small situation, I always find delightful, but also, I really love working with Sam Barnett and I love Norton. The chemistry with Norton and Andy is so much fun - I love bouncing through those scenes particularly."

Reviews

The Restoration of Catherine is a fun story. If you've enjoyed previous Torchwood: Soho box sets, or the individual Norton stories, then you should definitely get this one.

The Restoration of Catherine is a very simple story, but it never needs to be complicated because the focus is on exploring this odd couple trying to a solve a mystery... One that I think I’ll find easy to re-listen to whenever I just need a hit of Torchwood. 9/10

This story has fun, games, and general mayhem, which the cast carries off magnificently. Norton devises schemes, while Andy yearns to return home safely. It’s enjoyable and there are no fatalities, which is a plus.
