MODERATORS
Jack is definitely much better in this episode. His banter is much less in your face, and having Mickey call him out on it is a nice bit of self referential humour.
I've never been to Cardiff. I looked up the filming location as it's one that seems to get reused a lot, it's called "Roald Dahl Plass", which incidentally is a great author to recognise, and as a filming location it is very striking.
Indeed, the HQ on "Torchwood" is located directly beneath the water feature thingie.
