Undated Torchwood activity
Following several periods of activity elsewhere after the destruction of the Torchwood Hub in 2009 and the Miracle Day phenomenon in 2011, (TV: Torchwood: Children of Earth, Torchwood: Miracle Day) Torchwood returned to Cardiff in order to deal with temporary holes in space time which brought through new alien phenomena to the city. They weren't sure if this was a sign of the Cardiff Space-Time Rift reopening or simply the position in Cardiff being vulnerable.

At this point, Gwen Cooper, who dealt with most of these incursions with assistance from PC Andy Davidson while her husband looked after their daughter, approached Roger Pugh, Planning Officer for Cardiff City Council, in order to establish a new Torchwood Cardiff facility which would replace the long-gone Hub. After Gwen showed Roger a day of her work first hand, he gave her his support. (AUDIO: More Than This)
