Torchwood - Lost Souls

The Torchwood episode, Lost Souls, was a radio only special to celebrate the turning on of the LHC.

Martha was at CERN, because UNIT were doing security, something strange happens. Jack hotfoots it to the border of La Suisse. It turns out that aliens came through into our dimension when they tested the LHC beam. But the aliens are pretending to be the dead (again). Martha and Ianto go down the main LHC tunnel (which sounds like a dank cave) and confront the alien. Jack has to stop them turning on the beam, because they don't know someone is down there. They can't do it. So jack tells them to reverse the polarity. And somehow they see the Higgs Boson with a quote "it's beautiful".

Is this a joke?!

Someone is having a laugh right?

Yesterday I went to talk to a class of school kids about the LHC. Even though I only worked at CERN on the LEP, I could at least answer most of their questions. They know more correct facts than this Torchwood episode! And they were all primary school kids.

Please, Torchwood, give up and die. You're completely crap.
