You have to go to the Ianto celebration wall! If it is still there. Edited March 18, 2018 by tenaciouspirit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R4wly97 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 @tenaciouspirit Yes I have seen a picture of it, from what I can remember from a friend telling me about it when they went to Cardiff there's a wall filled with tributes to Ianto and Torchwood I think, but I might be wrong though??

Wondering if the message I’ve left 5+ years ago on Ianto’s Shrine is still there... I miss Cardiff so much, the Bay area is so beautiful And I miss Torchwood so much as well - or Class, or the Sarah Jane Adventures for that matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R4wly97 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 @Nerd Who Can you remember what you wrote on the shrine? I miss all of them too They are bringing back Torchwood in the audio adventures but it’s not the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R4wly97 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 @Nerd Who I just thought about the fact Paul Kaye is attending LFCC and how funny it would be if Peter and Paul did a photo op together in costume and Peter just gave Paul a really annoyed look since the 12th Doctor found Prentis really annoying in the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1970 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Thank you! All suggestions in Cardiff is welcome, gonna stay there I think for at least 2, perhaps 3 days. Must be at least 23 years ago I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss all of them too They are bringing back Torchwood in the audio adventures but it’s not the same! I think I wrote something stupid like “Ianto is still alive” or something similar Don’t really remember the exact words, but I should have a picture somewhere I’ve listened to some of the audio adventures and I love them so much I follow some of the Doctor Who audios as well! Sadly they’re all very expensive, so I’m really behind, but one day I’ll catch up with all the new Torchwood adventures! 10 minutes ago, R4wly97 said: @tenaciouspirit Yeah that was a good episode! I think my favourites were Children of Earth and Miracle Day! How can you like Miracle Day?! To me it was atrocious Just kidding obviously, we all have different tastes, but it was my least favourite season, and I found it quite disappointing after the absolute masterpiece that is Children of Earth (first time I saw Capaldi on screen, too!) 19 minutes ago, tenaciouspirit said: Honestly loved Torchwood. More so than Who to be honest. Exit wounds is still one of my favourite television episodes. Oddly enough I preferred Torchwood too at first, it was my gateway to everything Doctor Who as I started watching Torchwood first because it was airing on local television, and then since I liked it so much I decided to check out Doctor Who as well. Then Doctor Who took over my life completely and now I adore it more than any other series/franchise, but still Torchwood will always have a special place in my heart Honestly I cried so much at Exit Wounds, that episode broke my heart, the original team was the best. My favourite series though is Children of Earth. I think that miniseries is still the best piece of television that has been produced in years, even better quality than Doctor Who. 18 minutes ago, R4wly97 said: @Chris1970 @tenaciouspirit I’m hoping the rumours are true about them moving the experience to Manchester some day! I hope they do reopen the Experience somewhere because I only managed to visit it once before it closed and it’s a shame I’d be great if they moved it to Manchester since I’ve never been there, I’d be a nice chance to visit a new city while I’m at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
