Dinner and a Show is the third episode of the sixth Big Finish Torchwood season.
Starring Naoko Mori as Tosh and Gareth David-Lloyd as Ianto.
In fact this was written David-Lloyd himself.
This isn't the first Big Finish Torchwood that David-Lloyd has written but it is the first that I have listened to.
David-Lloyd has set this episode between End of Days & Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, the period when Jack went off when he detected the Doctor nearby.
It's Valentine's Day, Tosh is at the opera waiting for Owen to turn up for a non-date as friends.
Owen doesn't turn up but Ianto does.
Having expected to be a night at a opera with Owen turns out instead for Tosh to be an unexpected Torchwood investigation with Ianto as Ianto has found that the opera is full of aliens.
Very enjoyable piece as it ultimately relates to something Ianto had seen years before.
Funny when Tosh and Ianto had a music debate.
At one point Tosh gets mistaken as Chinese. No doubt David-Lloyd was remembering Captain Jack Harkness when he wrote that as that episode also had Tosh mistaken as Chinese.
While the resolution is not what I had expected nor I was disappointed with, it does cap off this enjoyable narrative.
In the midst of all this Tosh and Ianto compare certain notes with Owen and Jack.
Definitely feel for Tosh when she expressed her frustration with Owen.
She also tells about a joke Owen told her. I'm with her that the joke wasn't funny and definitely not one I would tell myself.
