This story features Queen Victoria, and is set in the highlands of Scotland in 1879. When Queen Victoria encounters a band of Warrior Monks and a werewolf, the Doctor steps in as her personal bodyguard, taking her to shelter in Torchwood House.

"The Doctor and Rose have to protect Queen Victoria, but can anything stop the Empire of the Wolf?"

To my view, that was clearly a much stronger, deeper, more clever and more scarey episode that last weeks. It would have made much more sense to show this first.

Doctor identifies himself as "Doctor James McCrimmon of the township of Balamory" and tells a guard that he studied under Dr. Bell. Jamie McCrimmon being a previous companion of the second Doctor, and Balamory being a ficticious town in a children's TV programme filmed in Tobermory.

David Tennant uses his natural scottish accent at some points in the episode.

It is revealed that Queen Victoria founded the Torchwood Institute, taking the name from the estate, with a remit to investigate paranormal events.

When Rose first encounters the wolf in its human form it says it can see the wolf in her and that she is "burning like the Sun", a reference to the 2005 series episode 'The Parting of the Ways'.

The BBC has begun producing Doctor Who related websites as they did last year with the UNIT, Geocomtex and Bad Wolf sites. This new Torchwood House website has just been revealed: http://www.visittorchwood.co.uk/
