she is still the absolute humanity, the reference point for what’s decent and proper and all that kind of stuff.
That would be the character that told her boyfriend she was cheating on him, then erased his memory so he wouldn't know but she could feel better about it.
I think it's interesting ... I've read so often that Russell T Davies is arrogant, self-obsessed etc., but when you read an interview like that, you really see RTD's showman side. RTD could talk up an episode of Neighbours if he liked it or had a hand in it. Chibnall sounds disengaged and just a bit vague. "There are no branches of Torchwood overseas - but wouldn't it be cool if there were..." is SO wrong. You need to be saying, "Maybe - wait and see - there are all sorts of stories to tell..." or at the very least "No, it's a Welsh series and we get a lot of power from staying in Cardiff."
I'm still looking forward to this series, though - lots.

Yes. Very decent and proper.
