4. The Dead Line
Cardiff's alien-hunters probe a spate of locals left in coma-like trances - triggered by phone calls. Stars John Barrowman.
When a Cardiff Hospital is inundated with patients who have fallen into coma-like trances, Torchwood move in to investigate.
The trances appear to have been triggered by phone calls, all received on retro phones and made from a number that hasn't been active for over 30 years.
Determined to find out who's been calling the unfortunate victims, Jack rings the mysterious number.
"Two, oh, five, nine" Nothing. It's a dead line.
Until, it calls Jack back.
