"Something Borrowed" is destined to be remembered as a classic episode of "Torchwood". A well scripted, splendidly acted and well paced tale, my faith in this series has been fully restored over recent weeks.
When Gwen is due to tie the knot with her long suffering fiancée, things go quickly downhill with both horrific (and humorous) consequences.
With a generous helping of fun, this episode has a great cast including the one-and-only Nerys Hughes and the always gorgeous Colette ("Ultraviolet", "Holby City") Brown. Brown is a delight as the predatory alien with a grisly appetite.
Director Ashley Way has demonstrated a golden touch with episodes like "Captain Jack Harkness" and "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang". With "Something Borrowed", Way continues to show a genuine talent for gripping and entertaining drama.
10 out of 10. A tale that enables all the cast to deliver memorable performances. Recommended viewing.
