More Than This was the sixth story in the Torchwood - Monthly Range by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Guy Adams and featured Eve Myles as Gwen Cooper.
Publisher's summary
Gwen Cooper has triumphed against impossible odds before, but now she's finally met her match: Roger Pugh, Planning Officer for Cardiff City Council.
Mr Pugh doesn't believe the world needs Torchwood. Gwen sets out to prove him wrong. For Mr Pugh, it's a day that'll change his life. If he can survive it.
Plot
Confronted with the need to fill out various forms and a wait of more than four months, Gwen takes Roger Pugh of the Cardiff Council Planning Department with her to show him the importance of Torchwood and convince him to capitulate to the agencies supporting the reconstruction of the Hub. She slams a window down on the head of a Baratavish in heat and gets Roger to help use a temporal anchor to send a displaced horse-drawn carriage back to its own time and stop an alien spore from releasing its pheromones. Further missions involve tranquillising an alien beneath Cardiff and capturing a liquid life-form in the form of a painting.
