I love Janto: I like to think Mr Bickerdyke is very sensitive to the Rift. He has premonitions of major Rift activity, but because he doesn't know about the Rift, his brain interprets the warnings as 'The world is going to end'. The team believe him because he's been correct several times already, they just wish his warnings could be more detailed so they'd know exactly what they'll be dealing with each time.

They'd served him well since he joined Torchwood Three, faithfully protecting him through mud and mire, through slime and goo, through disgusting sewers and even through years of cleaning the cells and Myfanwy's nest.
Now though, their faithful service had come to an end; they'd been defeated by a river of neon green, acidic gunge, bravely giving their last to keep his feet from being melted off.
The least he could do was give them a proper send off.
"Alas, poor wellies, brave to the last. I salute you," Ianto murmured solemnly, then shrugged and tossed them into the incinerator.
The End
