Written by Ash Darby, a Torchwood newcomer.
This episode mostly features Tyler.
Ng and Mr Colchester helps out along the way while Andy, Yvonne, Norton and Jack also pops up briefly.
Hostile Environment suddenly has Tyler out on the streets as a homeless person and it involved an app that allows people to tag the homeless for the purpose of helping them.
However it was anything but.
This is a compelling commentary on the homeless and Jonny Green delivered it superbly as the hoimeless Tyler.
As a homeless person, Tyler finds that he has little or no choice of what he has to do especially the choices given to him by the drone.
A key point to the episode was the efforts Tyler goes to in order to buy a phone.
This is hardly a priority for any homeless person but it works well on how this episode played out.
Tyler's efforts in getting money for the phone is the same in how my wife Karen Gillan got a little money in her short film Conventional.
I do the same to her but I do it for free because she is my wife and I love her.
With Tyler being homeless he is declared invisible to society. This is similar in premise to a Twilight Zone episode To See The Invisible Man about a man sentenced to social isolation for a year meaning that for this sentence, society is not allow to interact with him.
Coincidentally I am watching the fourth and final season of The Thick of It and has as a focus an unseen homeless man Douglas Tickel and his ultimate suicide.
Like Tickel, Tyler stayed in a tent for a little while but unlike Tickel, Tyler comes out of this still alive.
After listening to Hostile Environment I saw Friday The 13th 1.4 A Cup of Time which coincidentally also has the homeless as key plot point.
