It was great, and it seemed to be a cohesive part of the overall season, unlike this one. Torchwood can do comedy episodes in theory, or episodes with elements of comedy (Cyberwoman I like), and I understand they were trying for a specific kind of comedy here, the farce. Team Torchwood not worrying about Gwen's situation was nonsensical rather than farcical however. Adam, I much preferred the previous episode A Day in the Death.
