Plot.
The Torchwood team responds to reports of 17 people missing in the same 20-mile radius in the Brecon Beacons using the
the barn doors and fires on the cannibals. Ben Foster used this as an inspiration to create the music, by bashing out on his keyboard "here he comes in a ruddy-great tractor". The theme's onomatopoeic structure made it a big hit from the first two season's original score.
