I'll confirm with Ocelot, but I'm pretty sure no-one will have any problem slotting that sort of character in to the game. The core of U.N.I.T. has always been the scientific advisors with military backup, but in the Doctor Who stories various other characters come and go. There may be specific constraints to do with the location of the game, but I'll check.

Torchwood. Yeah, not a big fan myself. In the Team Torpedo U.N.I.T. universe, Torchwood are seen as a shadowy 'non accountable' organisation which isn't considered trustworthy (or professional).

U.N.I.T. are responsible for the interests of the planet as a whole under the authority of the United Nations. Torchwood are funded and controlled by the British crown, (or somebody at Buck House), and are technically considered a 'black operation'. There may or may not have been Torchwood infiltrators in the last game (but obviously we couldn't confirm or deny that...)

Is there any tea on this spaceship?

A player's character background can be as detailed or as sketchy as the player wants, ranging from "Second UNIT trooper on the right" to a detailed career and personality breakdown.

Actually while I'm here (and I'm sorry, the information is probably already on your website or something, but I'm far too lazy to look) is there an option for people to hire the lazer-tag stuff from you, and if so how much would that cost?

By which, of course, I mean the useless, geeky accident prone Daniel Jackson from the film, not the sexy macho action-man he becomes in the series.  I think that's a little outside of my range.

Ocelot - that sounds great.  I'm not going to able to afford a lot of dressing up like a twat this year, but I'm going to really see what I can do about making this one.
