'''Britsure''' was an insurance firm | '''Britsure''' was an insurance firm advertised in [[Cardiff]] in the 21st century. A poster for it was witnessed by Torchwood personnel through a distortion in space-time at [[St Teilo's Military Hospital]] in [[1918]], allowing the Torchwood staff of the 2000's to identify the day, time, and location at which [[Tommy Brockless]] had to be delivered in order to close the distortion.

In 1918, a rift in time opened in a storage room of St Teilo's Military Hospital. [[Torchwood Institute]] agents [[Gerald Kneale]] and [[Harriet Derbyshire]] witnessed [[Toshiko Sato]] and Tommy Brockless on the other side of the rift, speaking from the 2000's. Tommy explained to the Torchwood agents that the two must fetch his past self - who in their time resided in the hospital - and find a way to get him to the future alive so that he can speak to them from the 21st century in the first place. | |||
In the 2000's, [[Torchwood Three]] were tasked with taking Tommy Brockless to the exact location where he was seen through the rift to tell Kneale and Derbyshire where to find his 1918 self. [[Gwen Cooper]] and [[Owen Harper]] were able to identify the correct storage room from Kneale and Derbyshire's notes in the "Eyes Only Document, FAO Torchwood, commander overseeing case 1918/TB" document. The note describing "a woman in strange armour, ripping a Union Jack, perhaps some future heroine of the Empire" turned out to be a large advertising poster for Britsure, an insurance company, which was visible through a hole in the wall of the dilapidated hospital. | |||
