Ghost Machines is the third and penultimate episode of Rose Tyler: The Dimension Cannon.
Ghost Machines is similar in name to the Torchwood episode Ghost Machine and curiously just as Ghost Machines is the third episode of Rose Tyler: The Dimension Cannon, Ghost Machine is the third episode of Torchwood.
Written by AK Benedict.
Rose and Pete arrived in an universe in the continuing search for the Doctor when they accosted by a machine.
This machine thinks this Pete is this universe's Pete, in fact Sir Peter Tyler and this therefore has the machine taking our Pete and Rose to Sir Peter's residence, which is a castle.
They meet Sir Peter's wife, this universe's Jackie.
Jackie is surprised to see Pete's face because Sir Peter had died a week before. It feels on reflection this was the first indication on the significance of the word ghost in the episode title.
We also meet Wallace Richards who had worked for Sir Pete in the latter's company SoulTech.
Wallace did not come across well me at all and definitely someone who was meant to be hated by the listener.
Quite eerie this tale on what the Ghost Machines are and certainly very different to its almost Torchwood namesake with the garden in the castle being the key to all this.
A key point during this story is Rose and Pete's conversation about the nature of their relationship since Pete isn't Rose's father just another universe's counterpart of him.
This is marked when it was brought up whether Pete having the same face as Rose's father makes them family.
Rose remarks that her father Pete was a father that she never knew notwithstanding their brief meeting in Father' Day, a key event of which gets a reminder here.
A very thought provoking tale with the main plot as well as exploring the family dynamic between Rose, Pete and even this universe's Jackie.
At one point Pete says skin of metal and it is the same thing that was said by John Lumic in Rise of the Cybermen, the same episode that marked the debut of the Pete who is mostly in Ghost Machines.
The episode ends with quite a shocker although not one I can easily making any heads or tails of it.
