London, England, the 1890s. Queen Victoria, ruler of Great Britain and Ireland and Empress of India, has arrived for her annual inspection of the Torchwood Institute. This year, everyone is quite determined, nothing will go wrong.
Several minutes later, a terrible creature is unleashed on the streets of London. No one knows where it comes from, what it is, or even why it's on Earth. It's ruthless, has no morals, and is quite unstoppable. Captain Jack Harkness is on the loose, and Queen Victoria is along for the ride of her life.
The Victorian Age provides examples of:
- Formula-Breaking Episode: This episode takes place in 1890s London instead of modern day.
- Landmarking the Hidden Base: Torchwood's London headquarters are under the British Museum.
- Lighter and Softer: Compared to the other Torchwood audios, this one is considerably more lighthearted.
