Season 1, Episode 9
9/10
A great episode.
13 February 2023
Eugene Jones died after a road traffic accident, but his spirit lingers on Earth, he tries to communicate with Gwen, he failed to in life, he tries to in death.

In the same way that I adore Dr Who's Love and Monsters, I absolutely adore Random Shoes, it is one of the best episodes of Torchwood, it holds up incredibly well. Totally different to every episode in series one, don't expect action or special effects, it's more an emotional packed watch.

It's a tremendously human story, it's sad, it's moving, it's actually very deep. It's very easy to buy into Eugene's character.

Well acted throughout, great to see Gwen centre stage, but Paul Chequer truly makes it, he is brilliant as Eugene, I think he truly delivers on every level.

Excellent, 9/10.
