Though not a pilot, it carried many of the narrative burdens of one. It introduced the programme's regular characters, as well as recurring elements such as [[Torchwood Three|the Hub]], [[Myfanwy]], [[retcon]] and the [[Torchwood SUV]].

Written by [[Russell T Davies]], it had the distinction of being his only writing credit until [[series 3 (Torchwood)|series 3]]. It also bore certain structural commonalities with ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'', Davies's first episode of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. Whereas the earlier script had introduced the mysterious [[Ninth Doctor]] through the eyes of [[Rose Tyler]], ''Everything Changes'' introduced its audience to the mysterious figure of [[Captain Jack Harkness]] through female protagonist [[Gwen Cooper]]. Indeed, long-standing fans of Davies' work would have recognised the structure from as far back as {{wi|Dark Season}}, RTD's early-1990s kids' TV programme.
