"There was Torchwood One," Ianto continued on, "which was the biggest, a skyscraper because there was a temporal phenomenon that was rather high above the ground that they needed to get to and study. Then there's Torchwood Two, which is in Glasgow because they wanted to keep one in Scotland, but not very active, so there's only one man working there at the moment. Torchwood Three is here, Torchwood Four has gone missing and there's no real record we have on it, and Torchwood Five was in India because they wanted a branch in the British colonies there, but it shut down in 1924," Ianto concluded, only after doing so realizing he'd been rambling.
"I'm the archivist," he said, to explain it all. "I know everything."
